4 CLAIM TO HUMAN GRATITUDE

Charlotte Corday, the sad.faced, ten
der hearted peasant girl of Normandy
made great history by one desperate act
Sickcned by the saturnalia Of the
French revolution, and moved TO dcs-
peratlon us Robespierre and Marat were
leading the flower of France to the gull
lotine, She determined that She would
put an end to Marat's bloody reign.
Marat had demanded two hundred
thousand victims for the guillotine
He proposed to kill of the enemies OF
the Revolution to make it perpetual
Horrible thought
No wonder it fired the blood Of this
patriotic peasant maid !
Gaining access to his closely guarded
quarters by 4 subtcrl'uge, she found him
in his BATH even then memorable and
giving written directions for further
slaughter
He asked her the names of the mimi
cal deputies who had taken refuge in
Caen. She told him, and he wrote them
down. That is well ! Before a week
is over they shall all be brought to the
guillotine."
AT these words, Charlotte drew from
her bosom the knife, and plunged it
with supernatural force up to the hilt in
the heart Of Marat.
Come to me, my dear friend come
to me, cried Maraf, and expired under
the blow
In the Corcoran gallery at Washing
ton is famous painting of Charlotte.
represented as behind the prison bars
the day before her execution.
1t is a thrilling, sad picture, full of
for hnt. gt1t1,,Rinfr Il e
unconquerable hate tor her country's
enemies.
What n lesson in this tragic story
Two hundred, nay, five hundred thous-
and people would Marat have sacrificed
to his unholy passion Of power
Methods are quite rs murderous and
memorable as men, and they number
their victims by the millions.
The page Of history is full of murders
by authority and by mistaken ideas In
the practice Of medicine alone how many
hundreds Of millions have been allowed
to die and as many more killed by un-
justiiiable bigotry and by bungling
But the age is betterng. Men and
methods are improving. A few years
ago it was worth ones professional life
to advise or permit the use Of propri-
eiary medicine. Today there are not
two physicians in any town in this coun-
try who do not regularly prescribe some
form of proprietary remedy
ii: IL. Warner, famed all over the
world as the discoverer of Warmers
safe cure, began hunting up the old rem
edies Of the Log Goblin days after long
and patient research he succeeded in Sc
curing some Of the most valuable,
among family records, and called them
Warmers Log Cabin Remedics-the sim
pie preparation of roots, leaves, balsams
and herbs which were the successful
standbys Of our grandmothers. These
simple, old-lashioned sarsaparIlla, hops
and buchu, cough and consumption and
other remedies have struck a popular
chord and are in extraordinary demand
all over the land. They are not the I'M
tried and imaginary remedies of some
dabs'er chemist intent on making mon
ey, but the long sought principles of tn
healing art which for generations kept
our ancestors in perfect health, put
forth for the good of humanity 10y one is
known all over the world as philan-
thropist-a lover Of his fellow man
whose name is a guarantee Of the high
est standard of excellence.
The preparations are of decided and
known influence over disease, and as in
the hands of our grandmothers they
raised up the sick, cured the lame, bound
up the wounds Of death, 50 in their new
form but olden power as Log Cab N
Remedies, they are sure to prove the .
healing Of the nations
Corday did the world an incalculable
service in Kidding France Of the bigo,ed
and murderous Marat, just as this man
is doing humanity a service by re-intro-
ducing TO the world the simpler and bet !
ter methods OF our ancestors.
