These titles were disputed by the
State of New York, and its authori-

Colonel Seth Warner to the 'front.'
With Ethan Allen and others he
actively opposed every effort ofthe
New York state authorities to en-
force possession, and finally he,
with Allen and others, were outlaw

To circumvent New York, it was
necessary that some one should 90

- Simple remedies and their power
over disease. But it was left to an
other 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.
Col Seth Warner belongs to
family of wide distinction no less
than eight members thereof won
fame in the regular practice of medi-
cine.
Looking to the adoption by the
people of this generation of the old
time simple remedies, his direct de-
scendents, H. II. Warner, the well
known proprietor of Warmers safe
cure, for many years has been ex-
perimenting with old time roots and
herbs formula, his search having
been finally rewarded with success
he gives the world the result. These
receipt and formula in other days
accomplished great things because
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 trade
mark an old-fashioned America log
cabin. We understand that he in
tends to put forth "sarsaparilla,
for the blood, the sarsaparilla itsel
being but one Of number of simple
and effective elements Log Cabir

preparation for that universal dis
ease catarrh, called Log Cabin ros,

connection with the other remedies
or independently as required.
Warnor's safe remedies are alread,
standards Ct the most pronounce,
scientific value in all parts ofth
world, and we have no doubt tn
Log Cabin remedies, for the disease
they are Intended TO cure, will b
equal merit, for Mr.. Warner has tn
reputation of connecting his nam
with no preparation that is nc
meritorious.
