"DOCTORING OLD TIME"
A Striking Picture-A Revival of Old
Time NimplIcities.

Time Simplicities.
In one of Harper's issues is given a
very fine illustration OF Roberts cele-
brated painting, known as "Doctorlng
Old Time" 1t represents typical old
timer, with his bellows, blowing the dust
from an ancient clock, with it's cords and
weights carefully secured. One of these
clocks in this generation is appreciated
| only as rare relic.
The suggestive name, "Doctoring Old
Iime," brings to our mind another ver-
sion of the title, used for another pur-
pose-"Old Time Doctoring."
We learn, through reliable source,
that one of the enterprising proprietary
medicine firms of the country, has been
for years investigating the formulas and
medical preparations used in the begin
ming OF this century, and even before,
with view of ascertaining why people
in our great. grandfathers' time enjoyed
a health and physical vigor SO seldom
found in the present generation. They
now think they have secured the secret
or secrets. They find that the prevailing
opinion 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 domain,
has made these herbs leas abundant and
has driven them further from civiliza
ton, until they have been discarded, as
remedial agents because of the difficulty
of obtaining them.
H. H. Warner, proprietor OF Warmers
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 secured some very valuable
formulas, from which his firm is now
preparing medicines. to be sold by all
druggists.
They will, we learn, be known under
the general title Of "Warner's Log Cabin
remedies" Among these medicines
will be "sarsaparilla," for the blood
and liver, clog Cabin hops and buchu
remedy" for the stomach, etc., clog
Cabin cough and consumption remedy"
clog Cabin hair tonic," "Log Cabin ex-
tract" for internal and external use,
and an old valuable discovery for Ca
tarrh, called clog Cabin rose cream"
Among the list is also clog Cabin
plaster" and LOG Cabin liver pill"
From the number of remedies, it will
be seen that they do not propose to cure
all diseases with one preparation. 1t is
believed by mauy that with these reme-
dies new era is to dawn upon suffering
humanity and that the close Of the nine
teenth century will see these roots and
herbs, as compounded under the title OF
Warmers Log Cabin remedies, as popular
as they were at it's beginning. Although
they come in the form of proprietary
medicines, yet they will be none the less
welcome, for suffering humanity has be-
come tired of modern doctoring and the
public has great confidence in any
remedies put up by the firm of which H.
II. 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 physi-
clans. These effects OF poisonous drugs,
already prominent, will become more
pronounced in coming generations.
Therefore we can cordially wish the old
fashioned new remedies the best of sue
cess.
