THROUGH THE FOREST.
The Old and Young Danced All Night
Our Hardy Ancestors.

Old men live in the past.
Perhaps it would be better for the
young men of the present, If they lived
a little bit more in the past, and drew
less on the future.
The log cabins of primitive times would
seem very cheerless habitations to the
people who live in the finely constructed,
furance heated mansions of to-day. But
our grandparents took Q great deal of
comfort in these rude homes.
They were rugged and healthy. The
men had stalwart and hardy frames, and
the women were free from the modern
ailments that make the sex of to-day
practically helpless slaves to hired for
eign help.
White-haired grand-sires frequently
took their life partners and on horseback
rode score of miles through the forests
t. enjoy the lively pleasures of a frontier
tall, danced till daylight, rode home
again in the early morning, then put in
a good days work.
Middle-aged folks of to-day couldn't
stand that sort Of racket.
To these mud-chinked log cabins
doctors visits were a rarity. The in
habitants lived to rugged and green old
age.
Sometimes these log cabin old-timers
we're taken i'll. They were not proof
against all the exposures to which they
were subjected. They found the effective
remedies for these common ailments in
the roots and herbs which grew in the
neighboring forests and fields. They
had learned that nature has cure for
every i'll. These potent remedies assisted
their sturdy frames to quickly throw off
disease and left no poison in the system.
The unpleasant feature of modem
practice with mineral medicines is the
injurious after effect on the system. May
not modern physical degeneracy be due
to this feature?
A drug-saturated system is not in a
natural, consequently not In q healthy,
state. If any of the main organs are
clogged with traces of the mineral poisons
used to drive out particular disease,
the whole machinery Of life Is deranged
and early decay of natural powers is the
inevitable result.
There can be no question that remedies
from the laboratory Of nature are the
best. If they are as efficacious, they
have the advantage of tearing no after
sting.
Their efficacy, if properly compounded,
| and the proper remedy applied to the
| proper disease, will not be doubted. The
experience of ages proves it.
Their disuse has come about principally
through the rapid congregation Of people
in cities and villages, rendering these
natural remedies difficult to obtain
Progressive business enterprise has
lately led to putting these old time re-
medies within reach Of all classes.
The proprietors of Warmers safe
remedies, in the faith that the people OF
to-day would be bene6tN by using the
simple remedies of log cabin days, have
caused investigations to be made and
secured the formulas of number of
those which long and successful use had
| proved to be most valuable.
They will, we learn, be known under
:he general title of Warmers Log Cabin
Remedies" Among these medicines
will be a "Sarsaparilla" for the blood and
liver, LOG Cabin Hops and Buchu Re-
medy," for the stomach, etc., 'Log
Cabin Cough and Consumption Re-
medy," remedy called "Scalpine," for
the hair, "Log Cabin Extract" for in
ternal and external use, and an old
valuable discovery for catarrh called
LOG Cabin Rose Cream" Among the
list is also "Log Cabin Plaster" and q
clog Cabin Liver Pill"
