A CLAIM TO HUMAN GRATITUDE.

Sickened by the saturnalia of
the French revolution, and moved
to desperation as Robespierre and
Marat were leading the flower of
France to the guillotine, she de-
termined that she would put an end
to Marat's bloody reign.
Marat had demanded two hundred
thousand victims for the guillotine {!
He proposed to kill off the enemies
Of the Revolution to make it per-
petual!
Horrible thought!
No wonder it fired the blood of
this patriotic maid!
Gaining access to his closely
guarded quarters by a subterfuge, she
found him in his bath, even then
memorable and giving written
directions for further slaughter!
He asked her the names of the
inimical deputies who had taken
refuge in Caen. She told him, and
he wrote them down. "That is well
Before week is over they shall all
be brought to the guillotine."
AT these words, Charlotte drew
from her bosom the knife, and
plunged it with supernatural force
up to the hilt in the heart of Marat.
"Come to me, my dear friend,
come to me-" cried Marat, and
expired under the blow!
In the Corcoran gallery at Wash
ington is famous painting of
Charlotte, represented as behind the
prison bars the day before her
execution.
1t is thrilling, sad picture, full
of sorrow for her suffering country,
and of unconquerable hate for her
country's enemies.
What lesson in this tragic story
Two hundred, nay, five hundred
thousand people would Marat have
sacrificed to his unholy passion OF
power!
Methods are quite as murderous
and memorable as men, and they
number their victims by the
millions.
The page of history is full Of
murders by authority and by
mistaken ideas In the practice Of
medicine alone how many hundreds
of millions have been allowed to die
and as many more killed by unjustifi'
able bigotry and by bungling!
But the age is lettering. Men and
methods are improving. A few
years ago it was worth ones pro
fessional life to advise or permit the
use of proprietary medicine. Today
there are not two physicians in any
town in this country who do no
regularly prescribe some form o
proprietary remedy!
H. III. Warner, famed all over thu
world as the discoverer of Warner
safe cure, began hunting up the ole
remedies Of the Log Cabin days
after long and patient research hi
succeeded in securing some of thu
most valuable, among family records
and called them Warmers Log Cabil
remedies-the simple preparations o
roots, leaves, balsams and herb
which were the successful standby
of our grandmothers. These simple
old-fashioned sarsaparilla, hops anC
buchu, cough and consumption anC
other remedies have struck popula
chord and are in extraordinary de
mand all over the land. They arr
not the untried and imaginary rem
edies of some dabstor chemist inten
on making money, but the long
sought principles of the healing ar
which for generations kept on
ancestors in perfect health, put fort
for the good of humanity by one VIII
is known all over the world as
philanthr0pist-a lover of his fellow
man,-whose name is guarantee G
the highest standard of excellence
The preparations are of decide
and known influence over disease
and as in the hands of our grand
mothers they raised up the sick
cured the lame, and bound up tn
wounds of death, 50 in their neN
form but olden power as Log Cabi
remedies, they are sure to prove tn
"healing of the nations"
Corday did the world an incalcr
liable service in Kidding France of tn
bigoted and murderous Marat, just &
this man is doing humanity a serviC
by re-introducing to the world tn
simpler and better methods of on
ancestors.
