The Savage Way
How THE INDIAN TREATS AN INJURY.
OLD TINE METHODS.

The savage is emphatically the
child of nature. He lives close to
nature, his only ed.cltion is gained
in natures school.
When the Indian receives an in
jury, he does not seek cure in min
eral poisons, but binds on the simple
leaf, administers the herbal tea, and
with natures aid, comes natural
recovery.
Our rugged ancestors, who pierced
the wilderness, built their uncouth
but comfortable Log Cabins and
started the clearing in the woods,
which in time became the broad
fertile fields of the modern farmer,
found in roots and herbs thu la.
close at hand natures potent rem
edies for all their common ailments.
1t was only in very serious cases
they sent for old "saddle-bags" with
his physics, which quite as often
killed as cured.
Latter day society has wandered
too far away from nature, in every
way, for its own good. Our grand
fathers and grandmothers lived
wholesomer, purer, better, healthier,
more natural lives than we do.
Their minds were not filled with
noxious isms, nor their bodies sat
urated with poisonous drugs.
Is it not time to make a change,
to return to the simple vegetable
preparations of our grandfathers,
which contained the power and pot
ency of nature as remedial agents,
and in all the ordinary ailments
were efficacious, at least harmless ?
The proprietors of Warmers Log
Cabin remedies have thought SO,
and have put on the market num-
Der of these pure vegetable prepara-
tions, made from formulas secured
after patient searching into the an
nails of the past, so that those who
want them need not be without
them.
Among these Log Cabin remedies
will be found LOG Cabin Sarsapar-
lila" for the blood, "Log Cabin hops
and buchu remedy a tonic and
stomach remedy, LOG Cabin cough
and consumption remedy" "Log
Cabin hair tonic," for strengthening
and renewing the hair, "Log Cabin
extract" for both external and in.
ternal application, "Log Cabin liver
pills" )" "Log Cabin rose cream" and
old but effective remedy for catarrh
and "Log Cabin plasters." All these
remedies are carefully prepared
from receipts which were found,
after long investigation, to have
been those most successfully used
by our grandmothers of Eye olden
time" They are the simple, vegeta-
BILE, eflicacious remedies of Log
Cabin days.

An Explanation.

What is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be afflicted
If you will remember few years ago
the word Malaria was comparatively un-
known to day it is as common as any
word in the English language, yet this
word covers only the meaning ofanother
word used by our forefathers in times
past. So it is with nervous diseases, as
they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Biliousness,
and all are caused by troubles that arise
which in performing its functions finding
it cannot dispose of the bile through the
ordinary channel is compelled to pass it
off through the system, causing nervous
troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc

a cure. We recommend Green's August

aHave l not told you SO before ?
Run away at once, and your fortune
is made"
1t needed but little persuasion on
the part of the yellow dog to lure
him from the path of duty. He
had waited for the voice of the
tempter. When it came to him he
was ready 10 yield. A moment
more and the basket was cast aside
the cord was broken, and Tatters
was free to go where he would. How
he enjoyed the first few hours of
freedom in the company of his new
found friend, but when night fell
and no one had offered him shelter,
his spirits were somewhat modified.
After making a supper on an old
bone picked from the street, he went
to sleep in a cold, damp hallway.
He missed the warm bed that he
had shared with his master.
Another day followed, with the
prospects of a collar and blanket
growing beautifully less. Instead of
finding his dinner in the street, he
was obliged to steal it at neighbor-
ing butchers stall.
Poor Tatters he found that he
was in the company of thief, and
a very daring one at that. He
thought ofthe evenings he had spent
in the company of his poor master
in that little garret in the great tall
tenement where the blind man read
from book with raised letters the
words: "Thou shalt not steal. p
Again, he thought of how his master
had saved his life, and, oh, how un-
grateful he had been. How much
better off he was leading his former
life.
He was interrupted in his medi-
tations by the strange antics of his
yellow companion, who exclaimed,
"Dog catchersl" and as suddenly
scampered off, leaving Tatters utter
ly bewildered as to what might fol-
low next.
A firm hand was laid upon his
neck, while he suddenly found him
self lifted from the sidewalk by a
big burly fellow, and thrust into an
iron cage with a number of other
dogs.
"Where am 1 ?" wasthc first ques-
ton Tatters put to his companion
on the right.
"Where are you ?" was the res
ponse. "Why, with the dog catch
ers, to be sure. You're going to the
pound" he added, "and if ifsomebody
don't come to claim you in two days
you're a dead dog"
Two days of long, weary waiting
and watching for some one to claim
himl He saw other dogs claimed
by their owners and borne triumph
antly away, but his master was
blind and could never find him. In
another hour he would be a dead
dog.
Suddenly his little heart began to
beat wildly. He heard a familiar
voice inquiring for a little white dog
with black spot on his nose.
He pricked up his little ears as
he listened again. Yes, he did rec
ognize the voice. 1t was Shiney the
bootblack, who helped his master
home on stormy nights. How glad
he was to feel the kind hand upon
his head, and to hear the soft voice
OF the blind man saying =
"What a wicked boy he must
have been to steal you from me,
good faithful Tatters."
"He thinks that some one stole
me-" thought the little dog, with
tears of repentance in his eyes, as
he Tapped the poor sightless eyes of
the master.
81 will never be discontented any
more" said little Tatters, as he lay
down in his warm bed that night,
"for between you and me, 'be it ever
so humble there's no place like
home"

A Business-Like Offer.

For many years the manufacture
ers of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy
have offered in good faith, $500 re-
ward for a case of Nasal Catarrh
which they cannot cure. The remedy
is sold by all druggists at only 80
cents. This wonderful remedy has
fairly attained worldwide reputa-
ton. Ifyou have dull, heavy head
ache, obstruction of the nasal pas
sages, discharges falling from the
head into the. throat, sometimes
profuse, watery, and acrid, at others
thick, tenacious, mucous, purulent,
bloody and putrid if the eyes are
weak, watery and inhamed if there
is ringing in the ears, deafness, hack
ing or coughing to clear the throat,
expectoration of offensive matter,
together with scabs from ulcers
the voice being changed and has a
nasal twang ; the breath offensive,
smell and taste impaired, sensation
of dizziness, with mental depression,
hacking cough and general debil-
ity, you are suffering from nasal
catarrh. The more complicated
your disease, the greater the num-
Der and diversity of symptoms.
Thousands of cases annually, without
manifesting half of the above symp-
toms, result in consumption, end
in the grave. No disease is so com
mon, more deceptive and dangerous
or less understood, or more unsuc-
cessfully treased by physicians.

We should not imagine that all
