"DooToRING OLD TIME"
A Striking Picture-A Revival of Old
Time Simplicities.

In one of Harper's issues is given a
very fine illustration of Roberts cele-
hrated painting, known as "Doctoring
Old Time" 1t represents typical old
timer, with his bellows, blowing the
dust from an ancient clock, with its
cords and weights carefully secured
One of these clocks in this generation
is appreciated only as rare relic.
The suggestive name, "Doctoring
Old Time," brings to our mind another
version of the title, used for another
purpose,-"Old Time Doctoring."
We learn, through reliable source,
that one of the enterprising proprie-
tary medicine firms of the country, has
been for years investigating the formu-
las and medical preparations used in
the beginning of this century, and even
before, with a view of ascertaining why
people in our great-grandfather's time
enjoyed healthy and physical vigor
so seldom found in the present genera
tion. They now think they have Sc
cured the secret or secrets. They find
that the prevailing opinion that then
existed, that mature has a remedy for
every existing disorder" was true, and
acting under this belief, onr grand
parents used the common herbs and
plants. Continual trespass upon the
forest domain, has made these herbs
less abundant and has driven them
further from civilization, 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 annuals 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. u
Among these medicines will be "sar-
saparilla," for the blood and liver, LOG
Cabin 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 an old
valuable discovery for catarrh, called
LOG Cabin rose cream" Among the
list is also LOG Cabin plaster" and a
''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 many that with these
remedies new era is to dawn upon
suffering humanity and that the close
of the nineteenth century will see these
roots and herbs, as compounded under
the title of Warmers Log Cabin reme-
dies, as popular as they were at its be-
ginning. Although they come in the
form of proprietary medicines, yet they
will be none the less welcome, for suf-
fering humanity has become tired of
modern doctoring and the public has
great confidence in any remedies put
up by the firm of which III. Ell. Warner
is the head. The people have become
suspicious of the effects of doctoring
with poisonous drugs. Few realize the
injurious effects following the prescrip-
tions of many modern physicians
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
success.
