THROUGH THE FOREST.
The Old and Young Danced AL Night
Our Hardy Ancestors.

Our Hardy Ancestors.
Old men live in the past.
Perhaps it would be better for the
young men of the present il they
lived q little more in the past, and
drew less on the future.
The log cabins of primitive times
would seem very cheerless habitations
to the people who live in the finely
constructed, furnace-heated man
sions Of to-day. But our grandpa
rents took great deal Of comfort in
those 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 grandsires frequently
took their life partners on horseback,
rode o score Of miles through the for
ests to enjoy the pleasures Of from
tier ball, danced till daylight rode
home again in the early morning,
then put in good days work.
Middle-aged folks Of to-day could
not stand that sort Of q racket.
To these mud-chinked log cabins
doctors visits were rarity. The in
habitants lived to rugged and green
old age.
Sometimes these log cabin old
timers were taken i'll. They were not
proof against all the exposures to
which they were subjected. They
found the effective remedies for these
common ailments in the roots and
herbs which grew in the neighboring
forests and fields. They had learned
that nature has q cure for every i'll.
These potent remedies assisted their
sturdy frames to quickly throw off
disease and left no poison in the sys-
tenn.
The unpleasant feature of modern
practice with mineral medicines ia
the injurious after effect on the sys-
tenn. May not modern physical de-
generacy be due to this feature?
A drug saturated system is not in
a natural, consequently not in heal
thy, state. If any Of the main organs
are clogged with traces Of the min
eral poisons used to drive out par
ticular disease, the whole machinery
of life is deranged and early decay Of
natural powers is the inevitable re-
suit.
There can be no question that rem
edies from the laboratory OF nature
are the best. If they are as effica-
cious, they have the advantage of
leaving no after sting.
Their efficacy, If properly CON-
pounded, and the proper remedy ap.
piled to the proper disease, will not
be doubted. The experience of ages
proves it.
Their disuse has come ab0ut prin-
cipally throug the rapid congregation
of people in cities and villages, rem
dering those natural remedies diff
cult to obtain. Progressive business
enterprise has lately led to putting
these old-time remedies within the
reach OF all classes.
The proprietors OF Warmers safe
in the faith that the people
of to-day would be benefited by us
ing the simple remedies Of log cabin
days, have caused Investigations to
be made and secured the formulas of
q number OF those which long and
successful use had proved to be most
valuable.
They will, we learn, be known un-
der the general title of Warmers
Log Cabin Remedies" Among these
will be "Sarsaparilla" for
The blood and liver, "Log Cabin Hops
and Buchu Remedy" for the stomach,
ETC., "Log Cabin Cough and Con-
sumption Remedy" o remedy called

called LOG Cabin Rose
