A Striking Picturc-A Revival Of
Old Time Simpiicities.

In one Of Harpcr's issues is given
very fine illustration Of Roberts celc
brated painting known is "Doctorinl
Old Time" 1t represents Il typical oil
timer with a bellows, blowing the dus
| from an ancient clock with its cords an(
weights carefully secured. One Of these
clocks in this generation 10 appreciated
only as a rare relic.
The suggestive name, "Doctoring Ole
Time, brings 10 our mind another yer
sion OF the title, used for another pur.
posc-"Old Time Doctoring."
We learn. through a reliable source,
thai one Of the cnterprising proprietary
medicine firms of the country, has been
for years investigating the formulas and
medical preparations used IN the begin
ming OF this century, and even before,
with n view OF asCertainiDg why people
IN our great grandfathers' time enjoyed
q health and physical vlgor 50 seldom
foand in the present generation. They
now think they have secured the secret
Of secrets. They find that the prevailing
opinion that then existed, that nature
has a remedy for every existing dis
order was true, and acting under this
belief, our grandparents used The com
mon herbs and plants. Continual tres
pass upon the forest domain, bias made
these herbs less abundant and has driven
them further from civilization. units they
have been discarded as remedial agents
because Of the difficulty III obtaining
them.
II. n. Warner. proprietor Of Warner
safe cure and founder OF the Warner
observatory, Rochester, y. y, mas been
pressing Investigations iu this direction,
into the pnuals of old family histories,
until ne mas secured some very valuable
formulus, from which his firm is now
preparing medicine, to De sold by all
druggists.
They will, we learn, he known under
the general title Of Warmers Log Cabin
remedies. Among these medicines will
be a 'sarsaprllla, for the blood and
liver, Log Cabin hops and buchu rem
edy, for the stomach, etc, Log Cabin
cough aud consumption remedy, Log
Cabin hair tonic" Log Cabin extract"
for internal and external use, and an old
valuable discovery fer catarrh, called
Log Cabin rose cream. Among the
list is also a LOG Cabin plaster and n
Log Cabin liver pill"
From the number of remedies, il will
be seen that they Ito not propose TO cure
all diseases with one preparation. II is
believed by many that with these rene
dies a new era is TO dawn upon suffering
humanity and that the close Of the nine
iecnth century viii see these roots and
herbs, as compounded under the title OF
Warmers Log Cabin remedies, as popular
40 they were Il It's beginning. Although
they come in the form OF proprietary medi-
cines, yet they viii be none the less wei
come, for suffering humanity has become
tired of modern doctoring and the public
has great confidence in any remedies put
up by The firm CT which III. III. Warner is
the head. The people have become sls-
picious Of the effects Of doctoring with
poisonous drugs. Few realize the iniuri-
GUS effects following the prescriptions OF
many modern physicians. These effects
Of poisonous drugs, already prominent,
will become more pronounced in coming
generations. Therefore we can cordially
wish the old fashioned new remedies Tho
best Of success.
