A HUNDRED YEARS A HERO i?
How Seth Warner Won Wife and Be-
came Famous.

/
came Famous.
Colonel Seth Warner, of Vermont,
the famous hero the Revolutionary
war, was a leading fighter for the
Hampshire grants.
These titles were disputed by the
State of New York, and its authori-
ties obtained an edict of the King
of England in their favor. The set
tiers were stung by the supposed in
justice. This state ofthings brought
Colonel Seth Warner to the front.
With Ethan Allen and others he
actively opposed every effort of the
New York state auth )ritics TO en-
force possession, and finally he with
Allen and others, were outlawed and
price put on their heads
To circumvent New York, it was
necessary that some one should 60
into that state and gain required in
formation. Col. Warner, assuming
for safety the name Of "Dr. Howard"
under took this perilous and ro-
mantle journey.
While on his way home he stopped
at a country inn, where an old gen
tleman and daughter were storm
bound. The father fell i'll and the
daughter called upon Col Warner,
who, with his wide knowledge Of sim
pie remedies, successfully treated the
"old man." and he finally won this
devoted woman for wife.
Such incidents were not uncom
mon in those years. When the doc
tor was not easily reached, months of
sickness, and even life were often
saved by some unprofessional friend
versed in the use Of simple herbs
and roots. The health of early set
tiers and their powers OF endurance
convince 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 disease it
self.
In time of peace the colonel was
in constant demand for his knowl-
edge OF simple remedies and their
power over disease. But it was lett
to another of his name OF the present
age to give to the public'what was
then used with such positive sue
cess. H
Warner for over hundred years
has shared with Ethan Allen the ad-
miration Of the American people.
Colonel Seth Warner belongs To n
family of wide distinctions; no less
than eight members thereof won
fame in the regular practice of med
icine.
Looking to the adoption by the
people of this generation Of the old
time simple remedies, his direct de-
scedent, II. II. Warner, the we'll
known proprietor Of Warmers safe
cure, for many years has been exper.
imenting with old time roots and
herbs formule and, his search hav.
ingb cen finally rewarded with sue
cess, he gives the world the result.
These recipes and formnle in other
days accomplished great things be
cause they were purely vegetable
and combined simply so aslto cure
the disease indicated, withoutinjury
to the system. In harmony with
their old time character, we learn
that he proposes to call them War.
ner's Log Cabin remedies, using as
a trade mark an old fashioned Amer
lean log cabin. We understand that
he intends TO put forth a "sarsapa
rilla," for the blood, the sarsaparilla
itself being but one of a number of
simple and effective elements; LOG
Cabin hops and buchu," general
stomach tonic and invigorator; LOG
Cabin cough and consumption rem
edy," "Warncr's Log Cabin hair ton
ic;;' a preparation for that univer-
sal disease catarrb, called "Log Cab
in rose cream" "Warner's Log Cab
in plasters;" and Warmers Log
Cabin liver pills." which are to be
used in connection with the other
remedies, or independently as requir
ed.
Warmers safe remedies are already
standards Of the most pronounced
scientific value in all parts Of the
world, and we have no doubt the Log
Cabin remedies. for the disease they
are intended 10 cure, will be Of equal
merit, for Mr.. Warner has the repu
tation OF connecting his name with
no preparation that is not meritori
Gus.
The cup OF sorrow is IN constant
circulation, We must all drink, and

thing is to benefit by the draught:
