Log Cabin Grandmothers.

An Indiana doctor has recently discovered in common weed whose medicinal qualities have never before been suspected d yaIu- able remedy for bowel disorders.
 There is nothing particularly strange about this fact.
 Nothing.
 And yet the very simplicity Of the new discovery would, With some, seem to throw just doubt upon It's power To make it one has only to pour hot water over the leaves of the plant. In it's preparation no vast chemical works and appliances are re- quired.
 Is it to be wondered at since such plainly prepared remedies are accounted as of such great merit in these days, that such wonderful results attended our grand mothers, whose teas and infusions of roots and herbs and balsams, have exerted so great an influence ill the maintenance of health and life
 Certainly not!
 The greatest pieces of machinery strike us most by their exceeding simplicity
 The secret Of the success of grand mothers remedies was their freshness and simplicity. Every autumn found the little Log Cabin abundanty supplied with fresh leaves, roots, herbs and balsams, which were carefully dried and prepared and laid away for use. Dreadlng to call doctor be- cause of the responsiveness Of his far-made trips, they immediately gave attention to the disease and routed It before il had gained foethold.
 The old Log Cabin grandmother in cap and high tucked gown, and perchance be- spectacled i'll rough silver, her weary feet encased in "hum made" slips, is the dear sweet nurse who rises to the view of many f. ]u.. of life pass in retrospect.
 The secrets of grandmother's medicines were rapidly being forgotten and the world was not growing in the grace of good health. To restore the lost art of log cabin healing has been for years the desire of d wel!-known philanthropist in whose ances- tral line were eight 'sgoodly physicians Of the old style, men who never saw a medical college save III the woods, nor d 'medieal diploma except that inscribed on the faces of healthy and long lived patients. Much time and money was expended 1n securing the old formul8, which today are put forth as Log Cabin remedies aparlIla, hops and buehu, cough and consumption, and several others, by Warner, whose name is famous and standard for medical excel lence all over the globe. These oldest, new est and best preparations have been recog- nized as of such superexcellence that to-day they can be found with all leading dealers.
 When Col. Ethan Alien was making h,s- tory along oir northern frontier during ths revolution, Col. Seth Warner, the fighting Sheridan of that army, who was sklIIfal natural doctor, used many such remedies, notably like the Log Cabin extract, sarsa- parilla and cough and consumption remedy, among the soldiers with famous success.
 They are d noble inheritance which we of today may enjoy to the fall, as did cur fore fathers, and using, reap. as did they, the harvest of life fuIl of days and full of use- fuluess
