a Claim to Human Gratitude.

Charlotte Corday, the sad faced tender
hearted peasant girl of Normandy made
great history by one desperate actl
Sickened by the saturnalia of the
French revolution, and moved to desper-
alton as Robespierre and Marrat were
leading the flower Of France to the gull
lotine, she determined that she would
put an end to Marat's bloody reign.
Marat had demanded two hundred
thousand victims for the guillotine!
He proposed to kill off the enemies Of
the Revolution to make it perpetual
Horrible thought!
No wonder it fred the blood Of this
patriotic peasant maidl
Gaining access to his closely guarded
quarters by subterfuge, she found him
! in lis bath, even then inexorable and
giving written directions for further
slaughter!
| He asked her che names OF the mimi
cal deputies who had taken refuge IL
Caen. She told him, and he wrote them
down. "That is we'll! Before 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
supernatural force up 20 the hilt in the
heart of Marat.
ssCome to me, my dear friend, come
to me-" cried Marat, and expired under
the blow!
In the Oorcoran gallery at Washing
ton is famous painting Of Charlotte,
represented as behind the prison bars
the day before her execution.
1t is a thrilling, sad picture, full OF
sorrow for her suffering country, and Of
unconquerable hate for her country's
enemies.
What lesson in this tragic story!
f; Two hundred, may. five hundred thous-
and people wouId Marat have sacrificed
to his unholY passion OF power!
Methods are quite as murderous and
inexorable BIS men, and they number
their victims by the millions.
TIE page Of history is full Of murders
by authority and by mistaken ideas! In
The practice Of medicine alone how many
hundreds OF millions have been allowed
to die end as many more killed by I'M
justzAahle bigotry and by bungling!
Bus the age is lettering. Men and
methods are improving. a few years
ago 1T WAS worth ones professional life
to advise or permit the zse t't propEe~
tary medicine. To-day there are not two
physicians in any town in this country
who DO not regularly prescribe some form
OF proprietary remedy!
II. Ell. Warner, famed all over She
world as the discoverer of Warmers safe
cure, began hunting up the old remedies
of the Log CABIN days; after long and
| patient research he succeeded in securing
some Of the most valuable, among family
records, and called them Warn IRIS Log
| Cabin remedies simple preparations
of roots, leaves, balsa1ns and herbs which
were the successful standbys Of our
erandmothers. Those simple, old-fash-
toned sar<a parilia, hops aud buchn,
cough and consumption and other rem-
edies have struck a popular chord and
are in extraordinary demand all over the
land. They are not the nntried and I'M
aginary 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 az q philanthropist-a
lover Of has fellow mau,--~whose name is
guarantee Of the highest STANDARD CT
excellence.
The preparations arc Of decided and
known influence over disease. and rs in
the hands Of on. grandnaothers 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
'shealing Of the nations"
Corday did the world ar incalculable
service in Kidding France Of the bigoted
and murderoua Marat, just as this man
is doing humanity service by re-intro-
duc1ng to the world The simpler aud bet
ter methods Of our ancestors.
