A Hundred Years a Hero!
HOW SETH WARNER WON A WIFE AM
BECAME FAMOUS.

HOW SETH WARN ER WON A WIFE AND
BECAME FAMOUS.
Colonel Seth Warner, of Vermont,
the famous hero of the Revolutionary
war, was leading fighter for the
Hampshire grants.
These titles were disputed by the
State of New York, and its authorities
obtained an edict of the king of Eng
land in their favor. The settlers were
stung by the supposed injustice.
This state of things brought Colonel
Seth Warner to the front. With Ethan
Allen and others he actively opposed
every effort of the New York. state
authorities to enforce possession, and
finally he. with Allen and others, were
outlawed and a price put on their
heads.
To circumvent New York, it was
necessary that some one should go
into that state and gain required in
formation. Col. Warner, assuming
for safety the name of ''Dr. Howard. "
undertook this perilous and romantic
journey.
While on his way home he stopped
at a country inn, where an old gentle
man and daughter were storm-bound.
The father fell ill and the daughter
called upon Col. Warner, who, with
his wide knowledge of simple RENE
dies, successfully treated the old
man." and he finally won this devoted
woman for wife.
Such incidents were not uncommon
in those years. When the doctor was
not easily reached, months of sick
ness, and even life were often saved
by some unprofessional friends versed
in the use of simple herbs and roots.
The health of early settlers and their
powers of endurance convince us that
such medicines did only good and left
no poison in the blood to work as
much injury to the system as would
the disease itself
In time of peace the colonel was in
constant demand for his knowledge
of simple remedies and their power
over disease But it was left to an
other of his name Of the present age
to give 10 the public what was then
used with such positive success.
Warner for over a hundred years
has shared with Ethan Allen the adj
miration of the American people.
Colonel Seth Warner belongs to
family of wide distinction; no less than
eight members thereof won fame i'll
the regular practice of medicine.
Looking TO the adoption by the peo-
pie of this generation of the old time
simple remedies his direct descendant,
II. II. Warner. the well-known pro-
prietor of Warmers safe cure, for
many years has been experimenting
with old time roots and herbs fOrmu-
lac and, his search having been finally
rewarded with success. he gives the
world the result. These recipes and
formula in other days accomplished
great things because they were purely
vegetables and combined simply so as
to cure the disease indicated. without
injury to the system. In harmony
with their old time character, we learn
that he proposes to call them War
ner's Log Cabin remedies, using As a
trademark an old-fashioned Ameri
can log cabin. We understand that
he intends to put forth a "sarsapa-
rilla," for the blood, the sarsaparilla
itself being but one of number of
simple and effective elements; Log
Cabin hops and buchu, general
stomach tonic and invigorator; Log
Cabin cough and consumption rene
dv," Warmers Cabin hair tonic
a preparation for that universal dis
ease catarrh, called Log Cabin rose
cream Warmers Log Cabin plas-
ters;n and Warmers Log Cabin liver
pills which are to be used in connection
with the other remedies, or independ
emily as required.
Warmers safe remedies are already
standards of the most pronounced
scientific value in all parts of the
world, and we have no doubt the Log
Cabin remedies, for the diseases they
are intended to cure, will be of equal
merit, for Mr.. Warner has the repu-
tation of connecting his name with
no preparation that is not merito-
riOus.
