A Claim 10 Human Gratitude.

Charlotte Corday, the sad-faced, tender
hearted peasant girl of Normandy made
great history by one desperate act.
Sickened by the saturnalia of the French
revolution, and moved to desperation as
Robespierre and Marat were leading the
flower of France to the guillotine, she de-
termined that she would put an end to
Marat's bloody reign.
Marat had demanded two hundred thou
sand victims for the guillotine,
He proposed to kill off the enemies of the
Revolution to make it perpetual.
Horrible thought.
No wonder it fired the blood of this pa
triotic peasant maid
Gaining access to his closely guarded
quarters by a subterfuge, she found him in
his bath, even then memorable and giving
written directions for further slaughter
He asked her the names of the inimical
Deputies who had taken refuge in Caen.
She told him, and he wrote them down.
THAT is well! Before a week is over they
shall all be brought to the guillotine."
At these words, Charlotte drew from her
bosom the knife, and plunged it with SUI
pernatural force up to the hilt in the heart
of Marat.
Come to me. my dear friend, come to
me, . cried Marat, and expired under the
blow
In the Corcoran gallery at Washington
is a famous painting Of Charlotte. repre-
scented as behind the prison bars the day
before her execution.
1t is a thrilling, sad picture, full of sor-
row for her suffering country, and of un-
comparable hate for her country's enc
mics.
What a lesson in this tragic storyi Two
hundred nay, five hundred thousand, peo-
pie would Marat have sacrificed to his I'M
holy passion of power.
Methods are quite as murderous and in
exorable as men, and they number their
victims by the millions.
The page of history is full of murders by
authority and by mistaken ideas! In the
practice of medicine alone how many hun-
dreds of millions have been allowed to die
and as many more killed by unjustlfiable
bigotry and bungling!
But the age is lettering. Men and meth
DDS are improving. A few years ago it
was worth ones professional life to advise
or permit the use of a proprietary medi-
cine. To-day there are not two physicians
in any town in this country who do not
regularly prescribe some form of proprie-
tary remedy.
II. II. Warner. famed all over the world
as the discoverer OF Warmers safe cure,
began hunting up the old remedies of the
Log Cabin days; after long and patient re-
search he succeeded in securing some of
the most valuable, among family records.
and called them Warmers Log Cabin rem
edies-the simple preparations of roots,
leaves, balsams and herbs which were the
successful standbys of our grandmethers-
These simple, old-fashioned sarsaparilla,
hops and bucha, cough and consumption
and other remedies have struck a popular
chord and are in extraordinary demand all
over the land. They are not the untried
and imaginary remedies of some dabster
chemist intent on making money, but the
long-scught principles of the healing art
which for generations kept our ancestors
in perfect health, put forth for the good of
humanity by one who is known all over
the world as a philanthropist-a lover of
his fellow man, whose name is a guaran-
tee of the highest standard of excellence.
The preparations are of decided and
known influence over disease, and as in the
hands Of our grandmothers they raised up
the sick, cured the lame, and bound up
the wounds of death, so 10 their new form
but olden power as Log Cabin remedies,
they are sure to prove the 'healing Of the
nations
Corday did the world an incalculable
service in Kidding France Of the bigoted
and murderous Marat, just as this man is
doing humanity a service by re-introduc-
ing to the world the simpler and better
methods of our ancestors.
