Charlotte Corday, the sad-facsd, ten
der-hearted, peasant girl, Of Normandy,
made great history by one desperate act
SickeRed by the ssturnslia Of the
French revolution, and moved to desper-
alton as Robespierre and Marat 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 guiIotinsl
He proposed to Kill of the enemies Of
the revolution to make it PerpstuaII
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 his bath, even then memorable, and
qiving written directions for further
slaughter!
He asked her names Of the inimicsl
I Deputies who had taken refuge In Caen.
She told him and he wrote them down.
"That is WE'LL Before the week is over
they shall all be brought to the guilIo-
/ tjnel'
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 MRrat, and expired under the
blOWl
In the Corcoran gallery at Washing
! ton, is a 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
uncOnquersble haze for her cOuntry's en-
envy.
What a lesson in this tragic story
Two hundred, nay, five hundred thOus-
/ and people would Marat have sacri-
feed 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 ideasl In
/ the practice Of medicine alone, how
many hundreds Of millions have been al
/ lowed to die and as many more killed
I by unjustihable bigOtry and bungling !!
/ But the age is lettering. Men and
methods are improving. A few years
/ ago, it was worth ones prOfessi nal life
/ to advise or permit the use Of a proprie-
! tary medicine. To-day, there are not
| two physicians in sny town In this
country who do not regularly prescribe
some form Of proprietary remedy

world as the discoverer Of Warmers
safe cure, began hunting up the old
remedies Of the Log Calm days; after
| long AID patient research he succeeded
J in securing some OF the most valuable,
! among family records, and called them
/ WRrne, s Log Cabin remedies-the sim
( pie preparations OF roots, leaves balsams
/ and herbs which were the successful
/ standbys Of our grandmOtheIs. Tres
! simple, old-fashioned sarsaparille, hops
/ and buchu, cough and consumption and
| other remedies have struck a popular
/ chord and are IN extraordinary demand
/ eli over the lend. They are not the IN
/ tried and imaginary remedies Of some
/ dabster chemist intent on making
money, but the Iong-sOught principles
/ Of the healing art which for generations
! kept our ancestors in perfect health, pus
forth for the good o. humanity, by one
J who Is known all over the world as a
/ philanthrOpist-a lover of his fellow
man, whose name is a guarantee Of the
/ highest standard Of excellence.
The preparations ars 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 'heaIing Of the nation" COrday
/ did the world an incalculable service in
Kidding France Of Ehe bigoted and muir
derous Marat, just as this man is doing
humanity a service by re-intrOducing to
/ the world the simpler and better meth
/ DDS Of our ancestors.
