"DOCTORiNG OLD TIME"
A Striking ricture-A Revival Of Old
Time simplicities

In one of Harper's issues is given a
very fine illustration of Roberts cele-
brated painting, known as "Doctoring
Old Time" 1t represents a typical old
timer, with his bellows, blowing the
dust from an ancient clock, with its
cords and weights carefully secured.
One Of these clocks in this generation is
appreciated only as rare relic.
The sugIe: tive name, "Doctoring Old
Time, brings to our mind ano her version
OF the title, used for another purpose
"Old Time D,c.oring."
! We learn, through reliable source,
that one OF the enterprising proprietary
medicine firms OF the country, has been
for years investigating the formulas and
medical preparations nsel in the begin
ming of ills century, and even before,
! with view OF ascertaining why people
in our grea:-grandfathers time enjoyed
a health and physical visor so seldom
! found in the present generation. They
now think they have secured the secret or
secrets. They find that the prevailing
! opinion that then existed, that mature
has u 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, has made
these herbs less abundant and has
driven them further from civilization,
until they have been discarded, as
remedial agents because Of the difficulty
Of obtaining them.
II. IL. Warner, proprietor of Warmers
safe cure and founder of the Warner
observatory, Rochester, N. Y, has been
pressing investigations i'll this direction,
into the annals Of old family histories,
| syy,<i 0,n ,.,,I ,uJ In
formulas, from which his firm is now
preparing medicines, to be sold by all
druggists.
They will, We learn, be known under
the general title of warmers Log Cabin
remedies" Among these medicines will
be 4 "sarsaparilla," for the blood and
liver, clog 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 catarrh, called
clog Cabin rose cream" Among the
list is also q clog Cabin plaster" and
Log Cabin liver pill
| From the number OF remedies, it will
be seen that they do not propose to cure
all diseases with one preparation. 1t is
believed by manyithatswith these rem
| ttIlcS d Ilc" era Is W uaNH upon SulleT-
ing humanity 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 pop
ular as they We're at its beginning. AL
though they come in the form of pro
prietary medicines, yet they will be none
the less welcome, for suffering humanity
has become tired of mo Tern doctoring and
the public has great confidence in any
remedies put up by the firm of which
H. Fl. Warner is the head. The people
have become suspicious Of the effects O
doctoring with poisonous drugs. Few
realize the injurious effects following the
prescriptions Of many modern physicians
These effects of poisonous drugs, already
prominent, will become more pronounced
in coming generations. Therefore we car
cordially wish the ollfashioned new
remedies the best of success.
