a HUNDRED YEARS a HERO,
How Seth Warner Won a Wife and Be.
rzana arnone


came Famous.
Colonel Seth Warner, of Vermont. the
famous hero OF the Revolutionary war, was
Leading fighter for the Hampshire grants.
These titles were disputed BY the State
Of New York. and its authorities obtained
an edict Of the King of England in their
favor. The settlers were stung by the sup
posed injustice. This state OF things
brought Colonel Seth Warner to the front.
With Ethan Allen and others he actively
opposed every effort Of the New York state
authorities to enforce possession, and final
ly he, with Allen and others, were outlawed
and price put on their heads
To circumyent New York. II was neces-
sary that some one should go into that stats
and gain required information. Col. War
ner, assuming for safety the name OF s.Dr.
Howard undertook this perilous and ro-
mantle journey.
While on his way home he stopped at a
country inn, where an old gentleman and
daughter were stOrm-bOund. The father
1ell i'll and the daughter called upon Col.
Warner, who, with his wide knowledge Of
simple remedies, successfully treated the
'old man." and he finally won this devoted
woman for wife.
Such incidents were not uncommon in
those years. When the doctor was not
easily reached, months of sickness, and
even life were often saved by some unpro-
fessional friend yersed in the use of simple
herbs ana roots. The health of early set
tiers and their powers of endurance con-
vince US that such medicines did only good
and left no poison in the blood to work as
much injury TO the system as would the dis
ease itself
In time of peace the Colonel was in con-
staut demand for his knowledge of simple
remedies ana their power over disease
But II was left to another Of his name Of
the present age to give to the public what
was then used with such positive success.
Warner for over a hundred years has
shared with Ethan Allen the admiration Of
the American people.
Colonel Seth Warner belongs to family
OF wide distinction; no less than eight
members thereof won fame in the regular
practice of medicine.
Looking to the adoption by the people Of
this generation of the old time simple rem
edies, his direct descendant, Ii. H. Warner,
the well-known proprietor of Warmers
safe cure, for many years has been expert
menting with old time roots and herbs
formula and, his search having been finally
rewarded with success, he gives the world
the result. These recipes and formula in
other days accomplished great things be-
cause they were purely vegetable and
combined simply so as TO cure the disease
indicated, without injury to the system.
In harmony with their old time character,
we learn that he proposes TO call them
Warmers Log Cabin remedies, using as a
trademark an old-fashioned American log
cabin. We understand that he intends TO
put forth a sarsaparilla," for the blood,
the sarsaparilla itself being but one of
number of simple and effective elements;
Log CABIN hops and buchu,'' general
stomach tonic and invigorator: "Log
Cabin cough and consumption remedy"
Warmers Log CABIN HAIR tonic;" prep
aration for that universal disease catarrh.
called "Log Cabin rose cream - g Warmers
Log Cabin plasters;" and " Warmers Log
Cabin liver pills, - which are TO be used in
connection with other remedies, or in
depeudently as required.
Warmers safe remedies are already stand
ards Of the most pronounced scientific
value in all parts Of the world, and we have
no doubt the Log Cabin remedies, for the
diseases they are intended to cure, will be
OF equal merit, for Mr.. Warner has the rep
utatlon of connecting his name with no
preparation that is not mesitorious.
