THROUGH THE FOREST.
THE OLD AND YOUNG DANCED ALL NIGHT
OUR HARDY ANCESTORS.
Old men live in the past.


Old men live in the past.
Perhaps it would be better for the
Young men of the present, If they
lived little but more in the past, and
drew less on the future.
The log cabins of primitive times
would seem very cherries habitations
to the people who live in the finely
constructed, furnace heated mansions
of to-day. But our grand parents
took a 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 foreign help.
White-haired grand-sires frequently
took their life partners and on horse
back rode a score of miles through the
forests to enjoy the lively pleasures OF
a frontier ball. danced till daylight,
rode home again in the early morn
ing. then put in good days work.
Middle-aged folks of to-day cou dn't
stand that sort of racket.
To these mud-chinked log cabins
doctors visits were rarity. The in
habitants lived TO rugged and green
old age.
Sometimes these log abin old-timers
were taken ill. They were not proof
against al the exposures TO which they
wee subjected They found the eff
fective remedies for these common
ailments in the roots and herbs which
grew in the neighboring forests and
iie DIS. They had learned that nature
has a cure for every i'll. These potent
remedies assisted their sturdy frames
to quick Y throw off disease and left
no poison III the system.
The unpleasant feature Of modern
practice with mineral medicines Is the
Injurious after effect on the system.
Nav not modern physical degeneracy

A drug saturated system. is not in

thy. state If any of the main organ
ara clogsed with traces Of The mineral
poisons us.d to drive out particular
disease. the whole machinery of life is
derangad and early decay OF natural
powers il the inevitable result.
There can be no question that rem
edies from the laboratory ofnature are
the best. If they are as e.!icaclous,
they have the advantage of Tearing no
after sting.
Their efficacy, if properly com
pounded, and the proper remedy APP
piled to the proper disease, willnot be
doubted. The experience of ages
proves it,
Their disuse has come about prin-
cipally through the rapid congrega-
ton of people in cities and villages,
rendering these natural remedies
difficult to obtain. Progressive bust
ness enterprise has lately led TO put
ting these old time remedies within
reach OF all classes.
The proprietors of Warmers safe
remedies, in the faith that the Poop e
OF to-day would be benefited by using
the simple remedies of log cabin days,
have caused investigations to be made
and secured the formulas of a number
of those which long and successful
use had proved to be most valuable.
