"p0CToRISG OLD TIME"
4 Striking Picture-A Revival OF Old
Ilnr NInplicIfies

Iltlr slntpttciftes.
In one of Harper's issues is given a
very fine illustration of Roberts cele-
hrated painting, known as "Doctoring
Old Time" 1t represents a typical old
timer, w.th his bellows, blowing the dust
from nm ancient clock, with its cords and
weights carefully secured. One Of these
clocks liz this generation is appreciated
only as q rare relic.
The suggestive name, "Doctoring Old
Time" brings TO orr mind another YER
sion Of the title, used for another pur-
pose-"Old Time Doctoring."
We learn, through Il 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 wen before,
with n view of ascertaining why people
in our great-grandfathers' time enjoyed
n health and physical vigor so seldom
found in the present generation. They
now think they have secured the secret
or secrets. They find that the prevail
ing opinion that then existed, that ma
ture has a remedy for every existingdis-
order, was true, and acting under this
belief, orr grandparents used the com
mon herbs and plants. Continual tres
pass upon the forest domain. has made
these herbs less abundantan and has driven
them further from civilization, until
they have been discarded, as remedial
agents. because of the difficulty of OBJ
tanning them.
III. III. Warner, proprietor OF Warmers
safe cure and founder of the Warner OBJ
seryatory, Rochester, n. Y, has
been pressing Investigations 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
remedies" Among these medicines
will be a '~'sarsaparilla," for the blood
and liver, LOG Cabin hops and Buchu
remedy" for the stomach, etc, clog
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 a 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 Ii preparation. 1t Is
believed by many that with these rem
edles a new era is to dawn upon suffer
ing humanity and that the close of the
nineteenth century will see these roots
and herbs, as compounded under the Ii
tie of Warmers Log Cabin remedies, us
popular as they were at its beginning.
Although they come in the form of pro-
prietary medicines, yet they will he
none the less welcome, for suffering
humanity has become tired of modern
doctoring and the public has great CON
fidence 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 doctoring with poisonous
drugs, Few realize the injurious effects
following the prescriptions of many
modern physicians. These effects of
poisonous drugs, already prominent,
will become pronounced in coming
generations. Therefore we can cordially
wish the old-fashioned new remedies
the best of success.
