A CLAIM TO RyAAN GRATITUDE
Charlotte Corday, the esd-faced, ten.
der-hearted, peasant girl, Of Normandy,
made great history by one desperate act
Sickened by the saturnslia of the
French revolution, and moved to desper.
alton ss Robespierre and Marat were
leading the flower of France to the gull
lotine, she determined that she would
pat an end to Mara.'s bloody reign.
Marss had demsrded two hundred
thousand victims for the guillotine!
He proposed to Kill off the enemies OF
the revolution to make it perpetual!
Horrible Thought!
No wonder it fred the blood Of this
patriotic peasant maid!
Gaining access to his closely guarded
quarters by subter'uge, she found him
in his bath, even then memorable, and
siving written directions for further
slaughter!
he asked her names of the inimical
deputies who had taken refuge in Caen.
She told him and he wrots them down.
"That is well! Before the week is over
they shall all be brought to the guillo-
| tine!'
J At these words, Charlotte drew from
her bosom the knife and plunged it with
supernatural force up to the hilt in the
heart of Marat.
'Coms to me, my dear friend, come to
nae," cried Marat, and expired under the
blow!
In the Corcoran gallery at Washing
ton, is famous painting of Charlotte,
represented as behind the prison bars
the day before her execution.
| 1t is thrilling, sad picture, full Of
sorrow for he: suffering country, and of
unconquerable haze for her country's en-
envy.
What lesson in this tragic story!
Two hundred, nay, FIVE hundred thous-
and people would Marat have sacri-
feed to his unholy passion Of power!
Methods are quite as murderous and
ine1orable as men, and they number
their victims by the millions.
The page Of history is full Of murders
by authority and by mistaken idess! In
the practice of medicine alone, how
many hundreds OF millions have been al
lowed to die and as many more killed
by unjusifable bigotry and bungIing!
But the age is bettering. Men and
methods are improving. A few years
ago, it was worth ones professional life
to advise or permit the use of proprie-
tary medicine. To-day, there are not
two physicians in any town in this
country who do not regularly prescribe
some form of proprietary remedy!
b. 81. Warner, famed all over the
world as the discove1er Of Warmers
safe cure, began hunting up the old
remedies OF the Log Calm days; after
long AID patient research he succeeded
in securing some of the most valuable,
among family records, and called them
Warne g Log Cabin remedies-the SIM
pie preparations of roots, leaves balsams
and herbs which were the successful
standbys of our grandmothers. Trese
simple, old-tashioned sarsaparilla, hops
and buchu, cough and consumption ard
other remedies have struck popular
chord and are III extraordinary demand
all over the land. They are not the un-
tried and imaginary remedies Of some
dabster chemist intent on making
money, but the long sought 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 8
philanthropist-s lover Of his fellow
man, whose name is guarantee of the
highest standard of excellence.
The preparations ara of decided and
known influence over disease, and as in
the hands of our grsndmothers, they
raised up the sick, cured the lame, and
bound up the wounds Of death, so in
their new form but olden power as Log
Cabin remedies, they are sure to prove
the "healing of the nation" Corday
did the world an incalculable service in
ridding France of The bigoted and muir
derous Marat, just as this man is doing
humsnity service By re-introduciDg to
the world the simpler and better meth
DDS of our ancestors.
