Old men live In the past.
Perhaps IL would be better for the
young men of the present, II they lived
q little but more in the past, and drew
less on the future.
The log cabins Of primitive times
would seem very cherries habitations
to the people who live In the finely con-
structed, furnace heated mansions of to-
day. But our grandparents took a great
deal of comfort in these rude homes.
They we're rugged and healthy. The
men had stalwart and hardy frames. and
the women were free from the modern
ailments that make the sex Of to-day
practically helpless slaves to hired for
eign help,
White-haired grsnd-sires frequently
took their life partners and on horse
back rode score OF miles through the
forests to enjoy the lively pleasures of a
frontier ball, danced.till daylight, rode
home again In the early morning, then
put In good days work
Middle aged folks today couldn't
stand that sort OF a racket.
To these mud-chinked log cabins doc
tors visits were rarity. The inhabi-
tants lived to rugged and green old age.
were taken Ill. They were not proof
against all the exposures to which they
were subjected. They found the effec-
tive remedies for these common ailments
in the roots and herbs which grew in
the neighboriDg forests and fields. They
had learned that nature has cure for
| every i'll. These potent remedies as
sisted their sturdy frames to quickly
throw off disease and left no poison in
| the system.
The unpleasant feature of modern
| practice with mineral medicines is the
injurious after effect on the system. May
not modern physical degeneracy be due
to this feature?
A drug-saturated system is not In a
natural, consequently not In healthy,
state. IL any Of the main organs are
clogged with traces Of the mineral poi
sons used to drive out q particular dis
ease, the whole machinery OF life is de-
ranged and early decay OF natural pow
ers is the Inevitable result.
There can be no question that rene
dies from the laboratory Of nature are
the best. II they are as efilcaeious, they
have the advantage Of leaving no after
sting.
Their efficacy, If properly compound

the proper disease, will not be doubted.
The experience Of ages proves 1t.
Their disuse has come about princi-
pally through the rapid congregation of
people In cities and villages, rendering
these natural remedies difficult to OBJ
tain. Progressive business enterprise
has lately led to putting these old time
remedies within reach OF all classes.
The proprietors OF Warmers safe
remedies. in the faith that the people OF
today weuld be benefited by using the
simple remedies OF log cabin days, have
caused Investigations to be made and Sc
cured the formulas Of a number Of those
which long and successful use had
| proved to be most valuable.

the general title of "Warner's Log
