These simple, old-fashioned sarsaparilla,
hops and buchu, cough and consump-
ton and other remedies have struck
popular chord and are in extraordinary
demand all over the land They are
not the untried and imaginary remedies
of some dabster chemist intent on MAX

The preparations are of decided and

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
