"DOCTORING OLD TiME.n
a Striking Picture-A Revival of OF
Time SimnIirities


In one of HaTper's issues is given very
fine illustration OF Roberts celebrated
painting, known as - Doctoring Old Time"
1t represents typical old-timer, with his
bellows, blowing the dust from an ancient
clock. with lis cords and weights carefully
secured. One Of these clocks in this gen.
Grafton is appreciated only as a rare relic.
The suggestive name. " Ucctoing Old
Time" brings TO our mind another version
of the title, used for another purpose
odd Time Doctoring."
We learn, through reliable source, that
one of the enterprising proprietary medi-
cine firms Of the country has been for wears
investigating the formulas and medical
preparations used in the beginning of this
century, and even before, with q view of
ascertaining why people in our great grand
fathers time enjoyed health aud physical
vigor so seldom found III the present gen.
Grafton. They now think they have Sc
cured the secret or secrets. They find that
the prevailing opinion that then existed,
that Nature has remedy for every exist
ing disorder" was true, and acting under
this belief, our grandparents used the COM
mon herbs and plants. Continued trespass
upon the forest domain has made these
herbs less abundant and has driven them
further from civilization, until they have
of the difficulty of obtaining them.
II. H. Warner, proprietor of Warmers
safe cure and founder of the Warmers OBJ
servatory, Rochester, n. Y, has been press
ing 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
the general title of Warmers Log Cabin
Remedies" Among these medicines will
be "sarsapsrilla," for the blood and liver;
Log Cabin hops and buchu remedy" for
the stomach, etc; Log Cabin cough and
consumption remedy" Log Cabin hair
tonic" LOG Cabin extract" for internal
and external use, and an old valuable dis
covery for catarrh, called Log Cabin rose
cream" Among the list is also a 'Log
Cabin plaster" and Log Cabin liver pill, /"
From the number of remedies. it will be
seen that they do not propose TO cure ell
diseases with one preparation. IL is be-
lieved by many that with these remedies q
new era is to dawn upon suffering hui
mainly, 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 st the beginning. Although they

yet they will be rome the less welcome, for
suffering humanity has become tired of
modern doctoring, and the public has
GREAT confidence in any remedies put up
by thefrn 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
following The prescriptions of many mod
ern physicians. These effects of poisonous
drugs, already prominent, will become
more pronounced in coming generations.
Therefore We can cordially wish the old
fashioned new remedies the best OF success.
