"DocToRING OLD TIME"
A Striking Plcture---A Revival of0ld
Time Simplicities.

ilme OlluplClulco'
In one of Harper's issues is given a
very fine illustration of Roberts cele-
brated painting, known as "Doctor-
ing Old Time" 1t represents typi-
cal old.timer, with his bellows, blow
ing the dust from an ancient clock,
with its cords and weights carefully
secured. One of these clocks in this
generation is appreciated only as a
rare relic.
The suggestive name, "Doctoring
Old Time," brings to our mind an
other version of the title, used for
another purpose sold Time Doctor
ing"
We learn, through a reliable source,
that one of the enterprising proprie-
tary medicine firms of the country,
has been for years investigating the
formulas and medical preparations
used in the beginning of this century,
and even before, with a view of as
certaining why people in our great
grandfathers' time enjoyed a health
and vigOr 50 seldom found in the pres
emf generation. They now think
they have secured the secret or Sc
crets. They find the prevailing opin-
ion that then existed, that "Nature
has a remedy for every existing dis
ORDER" was true, and acting under
this belief, our grandparents used
the common herbs and plants. Con-
tinual trespass upon the forest do
main, has made these herbs less abun-
dant and has driven them further
from civilization, until they have
been discarded, as remedial agentN
because of the difficulty of obtaining
them.
H. II. Warner, prOprl etor of War
ner's safe cure and founder of the
Warner observatory, Rochester, n
Y, has been pressing investigations
in this direction, into the annals Of
old family histories, until he has. Sc.
cured some very valuable formulas,
from which his firm is now preparing
medicines, to be sold by all druggists
They will, we learn, be known un
der the general title of Warmers
Log Cabin remedies" Among these
medicines will be "sarsaparilla,'
for the blood and liver, LOG Cabir
hops and buchu remedy" for the
stomach, etc., LOG Cabin cough and
consumption remedy" "Log Cabin
hair tonic," LOG Cabin extract"
for internal and external use, and al
old valuable discovery tor catarrh, call
ed "Log Cabin rose cream" Among
the list is also "Log Cabin plaster
and "Log Cabin Liver Pill"
From the number of remedies, /
will be seen that they do not propose
to cure all diseases with one prepare
ton. 1t is believed by many tina
with these remedies new era is t
dawn upon suffering humanity ant
the close of the nineteenth centur!
will see these roots and herbs, a
compounded under the title of War
ner's Log Cabin remedies, as popular
as they were at its beginning. Al
though they come in the form o
proprietary medicines, yet they viii
be none the less welcome, for suffer
ing humanity has become tired 0
modern doctoring and the public ha
great confidence in any remedies pu
up by the firm of which H. H. War
ner is the head. The people have be
come suspicious of the effects Of doc
toring with poisonous drugs. Few
realize the injurious effects following
the prescriptions of many moderl
physicians. These effects of poison
GUS drugs, already prominent, will
become more pronounced in comm,
generations. Therefore we can cor
daily wish the old-fashion new rem
cdies the best of success.
