In one Of Harper's issues is given verv

clock, with it's cords and weights carefully

The suggestive name, I" Doctoring Old

OF the title, used for another purpose
" Old Time Doctoring.'' ~
We learn. through reliable source, that
one OF the enterprising proprietary medi-
cine firms of the country, has been for
years investigating the formulas and medi-
cal preparations used in the beginning az
this century, and even before, with aview
OF ascertaining why people in our great

Ihey will, we learn, be known under the
general title of "Warner's Log Cabin rem
edies." Among these medicines will be q
"sarsaParilla," for the blood and liver.
Log Cabin hops and buchu remedy" for
tho stomach, etc., "Log Cabin cough and
consumption remedy" "Log Cabin hair
tonic" I" Log Cabin extract" for internal

From the number of remedies. it will be
seen that they do not propose to cure all
diseases with one preparation. 1t is be-
lisved by many that with these remedies
new era is to dawn upon suffering human
ity and that the close OF the nineteenth
century will see these roots and herbs, as
compounded under the title of Warmers
Log Cabin remedies, as popular as they
| were at its beginning. Although they
come id the form of proprietary medi-
cincs, yet they will be none the less wei
come, for suffering humanity has become
tired Of modern doctoring aud the public
has great confidence in any remedies put up
by the firm of which h 81. Warner is the
head. The people have become suspicious
Of the effects of doctoring with poisonous
drugs. Few realize the Injurious effects
following the prescriptions Of many modern
physicians. These effects of poisonous drugs,
already prominent, will become more pro-
nounced IN coming generations. Therefore
we can cordially wish the old-fashionednew
remedies the best of success.
