Charlotte Corday, the sad-faced, ten
der-hearted peasant girl OF Normandy
made a great history by one desperate
act!
Sickened by the saturnalia of the
French revolution. and moved to des-
peration as Robespierre and Marat were
leading the flower OF France to the
guillotine, 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 maid
| Gaining access to his closely guarded
quarters by a subterfuge, she found him
in his bath, even then inexorable and
giving written directions for further
slaughter
He asked for the names of the inim-
ical deputies who had taken refuge in
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 to the hilt in the
heart of Marat.
"Come to me, my dear friend, come
to me-" cried Marat, and expired under
the blow
In the Corcoran gallery at Washington
is famous painting Of Charlotte, repre-
sented 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
Two hundred, nay five hundred thou
sand people would Marat have sacrificed
to his unholy passion of power!
Methods are quite as murderous and
inexorable as men, and they number
their victims by the millions.
The 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 aud as many more killed by un-
justifable bigotry and by bungling!
But the age is bettering. Men and
methods are i'm; rowing. A few years ago
it was worth ones professional life to ad-
wise or permit the use of proprietary
medicine. To-day there are not two ply
scians in any town in this country who
do not regularly prescribe some form OF
proprietary remedy
H. FL. Warner. famed all over the
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 secur-
ing some of the most valuable, among
family records, and called them War
ner's Log Cabin remedies-the simple
preparations of roots, leaves, balsams
and herbs which were the successful
standbys of our grandmothers. These
simple, old-fashioned' sarsaparilla, hops
and buchu, cough and consumption
and other remedies have struck
a popular chord and are in extra
ordinary demand all over the land. They
are not the untried and imaginary rem
edies Of some dabster chemist intent on
making money, but the long sought prin-
ciples of the healing art which for gener-
ations kept our ancestors in perfect
health, put forth for the good of human
ity by one who is known all over the
world as philanthropist-a lover of his
fellow man-whose name is guarantee
OF the highest standard OF excellence.
The preparations are of decided and
known influence over disease, and as in
the hands of our grandmothers 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 healing of the nations"
Corday did the world an incalculable
service in riddipg France of the bigoted
and murderous Marat, just as this man is
doing humanity service by re-introduc-
ing to the world the simpler and better
methods of our ancestors.
