"DOCTORING OLD TIME
Striking Pieture-A Revival of Old Tins.
Simplieities,

4 Striking Pieture-A Revival of Old Tim.
! Simplieities,
| In one Of Harper's issues is given a
very fine illustration of Roberts cele-
brated painting, known as "Doctoring
Old Time" It represents typical old
timer, with his bellows, blowing the dust
from an ancient clock, with its cords aud
weights carefully secured. One of these
clocks in this generation is appreciated
| only as rare relic.
The suggestive name, "Doctoring Old
I1me," brings to our mind another yer.
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 a view of ascertaining why people
in our great grandfathers' time enjoyed
health and physical vigor so seldom
found in the present generation. They
now think they have secured the secret of
secrets. They find that the prevailing
opinion that then existed, that Mature
has remedy for every existing disorder
was true, and acting under the belief, our
grandparents 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 dis
carded. as remedial agents because of
the difficulty of obtaining them:
Il. FL. Warner, proprietor of Warmers
safe cure and founder of the Warner
al n
pressing Investigations in this direction,
into the annals Of old family histories,
until he has secured some very valuable
pre- pairing medicines, to be sold by all
druggists.
They will, We learn, be known under
tbs general title of warmers Log Cabin
remedies" Among these medicines will be
a ''sarsaparilla," for the blood and liver,
Log Cabin hops and buchu remedy" for
the stomach, etc., "Log Cabin cough and
consumption remedy" clog Cabin hair
tonic" ''Log Cabin extract" for internal
and external use, and al old valuable dis
covery for catarrh, called "Log Cabin
rose cream" Among the list is also a
'Log Cabin plaster" and a clog Cabin
live1 pill"
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 suffer
ing humanity and that the close of tue
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.
Although they come in the form of pro-
prietary medicines, yet they will be none
the less welcome, for suffering humanity
has become tired Of modern doctoring
and the public has great confidence in
any remedies put up by the firm of
which H. Fl. Warner is the head. The
people have become suspicious of the
effects of doctoring with poisonous drugs.
Few realize the injurious effects follow
ing the prescriptions of many modern
physicians. These effects of poisonous
drugs, already prominent, will become
moro pronounced in coming generations.
Therefore we can cordially wish the old
fashioned new & remedies the best of
success.
