"DOcToRING OLD TIME ~


Time Simplicities.
In one of Harper's issues is given 9
very fine illustration Of Roberts cele
brated painting, known as ':Do,torine
Old Time" It represents typical old.
timer, with his bellows, blowing the dust
from an ancient clock, with it's weights
and cords carefully secured. One OF
these clocks in this generation is appre-
ciated only as rare relic.
The suggestive name, "Doctoring Old
Tme," brings to our mind another YER
sion of the title-used for another pur-
pose,-"Old Time Doctoring."
We learn, through q reliable source,
that one of the enterprising proprietary
medicine firms of the country, has been
for years investigating the formulas and
medical preparations nsed in the begin
ming of this century, and even before,
with view of ascertaining why people in
our great -grandfathers' time, enjoyed a
heslth and physical vigor 30 seldom
found in the present generation. They
now think they have secured the secret
or secrets. They find that the prevail
ing opinion that then existed, that "Na-
ture has remedy for every exciting dis
ORDER" was true, and acting under this
belief, our grandparents used the com.
mon herbs and plants. Continual tres
pass upon the forest domain, has made
these herbs less abundant and has driv-
en- them further from civilization, until
they have been discarded as remedial
agents because of the difficulty of OBJ
tanning them.
II. H. Warner, proprietor of Warmers
safe cure and founder of the Warner OBJ
servatory, Rochester, N. Y, has been
pressing Investigations in this direction,
into the annals of old family histories,
untl he has secured some very valuable
formulas, to be sold by all druggists.
They will, we learn, be known under
the general title of "Warner's Log Cabin
remedies" Among these medicines will
be 'sarsaparilla," for the blood and liver,
Log Cabin hops and buchu remedy
for the stomach, ETC., LOG cabin cough
and consumption remedy" "Log cabin
hair tonic" LOG cabin extract" for in
ternal and external use, and an old valu-
able discovery for catarrh, called "Log
Cabin rose cream" Among the list is
also LOG Cabin plaster" and "Log
Cabin liver pill"
From the number Of remedies it will
be seen that they do not propose to cure
ell diseases with one preparation. Il is
believed by many that wiSh these RENE
dies new era is to dawn upon suffer-
ing humanity, and that the close Of the
nineteenth century will see these .oots
and herbs, as compounded under the
title of Warmers Log Cabin remedies,
Is popular as they were at it's begin
ming. Although they come in the form
Of proprietary medicines yet they will be
none the less welcome, for suffering hu-
msnity has become tired of modern doc
toring, and the public has great conf
dence in any remedies put up by the
firm of which 81. b. Warner is the head. |
The people have become suspicious of
The effects of doctoring with poisonous
irugs. Few realize the injurious effects
Of following the prescriptions Of many
modern physicians. These effects of
poisonous drugs, already prominent, will
become more pronounced in coming gen.
srations. Therefore we can cordially |
wish the old-fashioned new remedies tho |
best OF SUCCESS.
