CLAIM To HUMAN GRATITUDE.

Charlotte Corday, the sad-faced, tender
hearted peasant girl OF Nornsandy made
great history by one desperate act!
Sickened by the saturnalia Of the French
revolution, and moved 10 desperation az
Robespierre and Marat were leading the
termined that she would put an end &c
Marat's bloody reign.
Marat had demanded two hundred thou
sand victims tor the guiilotine,
He proposed TO kill off the enemies o.
the revolution to make it perpetual.
Horrible thought
No wonder IL fred the blood OF this pat
rlotic peasant maid!
Gaining access to his closely guarded
quarters by sabterfuge, she found him
in his bath. even then memorable and
giving written directions for further
slaughter!
I1r- asked her the names of the inimical
deputies who had taken refuge in Caen.
She told him, and he wrote them own.
That is WE'LL Before a week is over they
shall all be brought to the guillotine.
At these words Charlotte drew from her
bosom the knife and plunged it with su
pernatural torce up to the hlt in the heart
of Marat.
Come to me, my dear friend, come to
me-" cried Marat, and expired under the
blow
In the Corcoran gallery at Washington
is famous painting of Charlotte, repre-
sented as behind the prison bars the day
before her execution.
1t is thrilling, sad picture, full of sor-
row for her suffering country and of I'M
conquerable hate for her country's enc
mics.
What lesson in this tragic story, Two
hundred, nay five hundred thou and peo-
pie would Marat have sacrificed 10 his I'M
holy passion of power.
Methods are quite as murderous and in
exorable as men. and they number their
victims by the millions.
The page OF history is full of murders by
authority and by mistaken ideas! In the
practice of medicine alone how many hun
dreds of millions have been allowed to die
and as many more killed by unJustifable
bigotry and by bunglingl
But the age is lettering. Men and meth
DDS are improving. a few years ago it was
worth ones professional life to advise or
permit the use OF proprietary medicine.
Today there are not two physicians in any
town i'll this country who do not regularly
prescribe some form of proprietary rem
edy!
H. H. Warner, famed all over the world
as the discoverer of Warmers safe cure,
began hunting up the old remedies of the
Log Cabin days; after long and patient
the most valuable, among family records,
called them Warmers Log Cabin remedies
the simple preparations of roots, leaves,
balsams and herbs which were the sue
cessful standbys of our grandmothers.
These simple, old-fashioned sarsaparilla,
hops and buchu, cough and consumption
and other remedies have struck a popular
chord and are in extraordinary demand
all over the land. They ara not the
untried and imaginary remedies Of
some dabster chemist intent on making
money, but the long sought principles
of the healing art which for generations
kept our ancestors in perfect health,
put forth for the good of humanity by one
who is known all over the world as phi
lanthropIst-a lover of his fellow man.
whose name is a guarantee OF the highest
standard of excellence.
The preparations are of decided and
known influence over disease. and as in
the handssDf our grandmothers they raised
up the sick, cured the lame, and bound up
the wounds Of death, so in their new form
but olden power as Log Cabin remedies
they are sure TO prove the healing of the
nations
Corday did the world an incaleulable
service in Kidding France of the bigoted
and mUrderous Marat, just as this man is
doing humanity Il service by rein reducing
to the world the simpler and better meth
DDS of orr ancestors.
