.pocrERrss OLD TIME"
A Striking Picture-A Revival OF Ola lime
sImplicities.


In one of Hsrpsr issues is given very
fine illustration of Roberts celebrated
painting, known as ''Doctoring old Time. .
It represents typical old-timer, Win Ms
bellows, blowing the dust from an ancient
clock, with its cords and weights carefully
secured. Oae of these clocks in this gen
GRAFTON is appreciated only as l"'e relic,
The suggestive name, ''Doctoring Old
Time" brings to our mind another version
of the title, used for another purpose
''Old Time Doctoriug." -,
We learn, through areliable source, tna'
one of the enterprisipg proprietary meai'
cine firms Of the country, has been To-
years investigating the formulas and med
ical preparations used in the beginning o.
this century, and even before, with view
of ascertaipiug why people in our great.
grandfathers' time enjoyed q health ana
hypeical vigor so seldom found in the pres
emit generation. They now think they
have secured the secret or secrets. They
find that the prevailing opinion that then
existed, that mature has remedy ioI
every existing disorder" was true, and
acting under this belief, our grandparents
used the common herbs and plants. Con
tinual trespass upon the forest domain, has
made these herbs less abundant and has
driven them further from civilization, IN,
til they have been discarded, as remedial
agents because of the difficulty OF obtain
ing them.
H. Il. Warner, proprietor Of Warner
safe cure and founder OF the Warner OBJ
servatory, Rochester, N. Y, has been
pressing Investigations in this direction,
into the annals of old family histories, I'M
til he has secured some very valuabis
formulas, from which his firm is now pre-
pairing medicines, to be sold by all drug
gists.
They will, we learn, be known under
the general title of Warmers Log Cabin
remedies" Among these remedies will
be '!sarsaparills," for tine blood and
liver, LOG Cabin hops and buchu rem
edy," for the stomach, ETC., LOG Cabin
cough and consumption remedy" Log
Cabin hair tonic" "Log Cabin extract"
for internal and external use, and an old
valuable discovery for cstarrb, called LOG
Cabin rose cream" Among the list is
also "Log Cabin plaster" and LOG
Cabin liver pill"
From the number OF remedies, it will be
seen that they do not propose 10 cure all
diseases with one preparation. 1t Is be-
lieved by many that with these remedies a
new era il to dawn upon suffering human
ity and that the close Of the nineteenth
century will see these roots and herbs, as
compounded under the title of Warmers
Log Cabin remedies, as popular as they
were at its beginning. Although they
come in the form of proprietary medicines,
yet they will be none the less welcome, for
suffering humanity has become tired of
modern doctoring aud tbs public has great
confidence in any remedies put up by the
firm of which II. II. Warner is the head.
The people have become suspicious of the
effects of doctoring with poisonous drugs.
Few realize the Injurious effects following
the prescriptions of many modern physi-
clans. These effects of poisonous drugs,
already prominent, will become more pro-
nounced in coming generations. Therefore
we can cordially wish the old.fashioned
new remed les the best of success.
