"pootoring Old Time"
A STRIKING PIcTURE-A REVIVAL OF OIL
TIME sIAiPLIcITIES.

A STRIKING PICTURE REVIVAL OF OLD
TIME sIMPL1cITIEs.
In one of Har1be''S issues is given a very
fne illustration of Roberts celebrated paint
ing. knowr as "poctoring Old Time" 1t
represents a typical old-tinleF, with his bel
lows, blowing the dust from an ancient
clock, with its cords and weights carefully
secured. One of these clocks in this gener-
alton is appreciated only as a 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 proprietary medicine
firms Of the country, has been for yeafs inyes-
tlgating the formulas and medical prepara=
tions used in the beginning Of this century,
and even before, with a view Of ascertalniug
why people in our great-grandfather's time
enjoyed health and physical vigor so sell
dom found in the present generation. They
now think they have secured the secret or
secrets. They find that the prevailing opin-
ion that then existed, that Mature has a
remedy for every existing disorder" was
true; and acting under this belief. our 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 inyesti-
cations 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 warmers Log Cabin Rene
dies" Among these medicines will be a
''sarsaparills," for the blood and Liver,
LOG Cabin kops and buchu remedy" for
the stomach, etc, log CABIN cough and
consumption remedy," LOG Cabin hair
tonic" LOG Cabin extract" for internsl
and external use, and an old valuable discov-
cry for cataTh, called log CABIN rose
cream" Among the list is also LOG
Cabin plaster" AND log Cabin liver pill. "
From the number Of remedies, it win be
seen that they do not propose to cure all
diseases with one preparation. It is believed
by many that with these remedies a 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 remedies, as
popular as they were at its beginning. Al
though they come in the form of proprietary
medicines, yet they will be none the less
welcome, for suffering humanity has become
tired ofmodern doctoring and the public has
great confidence in any remedies put up by
the firm Of which H. H. Warner is the head.
The people have become suspicious of the
effects of doctoriug with poisonous drugs.
Few realize the injurious effects following
the prescriptions of MANY modern physicians.
These effects of poisonous drugs, already
prominent, will be more pronounced in COM
ing generations Therefore we can cordially
wish the old-fashioned new remedies the
best of success,
