How Seth Warner Won n Wife and Be-
came Famous.
Colonel Seth Warner, of Vermont, the
famous hero of the Revolutionary war, was
a leading fighter for the Hampshire grants.
These titles were disputed by the State
OF New York, and its authorities obtained
an edict of the King of England in their
favor The settlers were stung by the sup
posed injustice. This state Of things
brought Colonel Seth Warner to the front
With Ethan Allen and others he actively
opposed every effort of the New York State
authorities to enforce possession, and final
ly he, with Allen and others, were outlawed
and price put on their headsi
To circumveut New York, it was neces-
sary that some one should go into that state
and gain required information. Col. War.
ner, assuming for safety the name of "Dr.
Howard" undertook thus perilous and ro-
mantle journey.
While on his way homo he stopped at .
country inn, where an old gentleman and
daughter were storm-bound. The father
fell i'll and the daughter called upon Col.
Warner, who, with his wide knowledge of
simple remedies, successfully treated the
''old man." and he finally won this devoted
| woman for a wife.
Such incidents were not uncommon in
those years. When the doctor was not
easily reached, months Of sickness, and
even life were often saved by some unpro-
fessional friend versed in the use Of simple
herbs and roots. The health Of early set
tiers and their powers of endurance con-
vince us that such medicines did only good
and left no poison in the blood to work as
much injury to the system as would the dis
case itself.
In time Of peace the Colonel was In con.
slant demand for his knowledge Of simple
remedies and their power over disease
But it was left to another of his name of
| the present age to give to the public what
was then used with such positive success.
Warner for over q hundred years has
shared with Ethan Allen the admiration of
the American people.
Colonel Seth Warner belongs to family
OF wide Distinction; no less than eight
members thereof won fame in tho regular
practice of medicine.
Looking to the adoption by the people OF
this generation Of the old time simple rem
edies, his direct descendant, H. H. Warner,
the wellknown proprietor of Warmers
safe cure, for many years has been expert
menting with old time roots and herbs
formula and, his search having been finally
rewarded with success, he gives the world
the result. These recipes and formula il
other days accomplished great things be
cause they were purely vegetable and
combined simply so as to cure the disease
indicated, without injury to the system
In harmony with their old time character
we learn that he proposes to call then
Warmers Log Cabin remedies, using as 1
trademark an old-fashioned American los
cabin. We understand that he intends Il
put forth sarsaparilla," for the blood
the sarsaparilla itself being but one of
number of simple and effective elements
Log CABIN hops and buchu," genera
stomach tonic and invigorator: "LoI
Cabin cough and consumption remedy
Warmers Log Cabin hair tonic;" prep
aration for that universal disease catarrh
called Log Cabin rose cream" Warner
Log Cabin plasters;" and warmers LoI
Cabin liver pills" which are to be used i
connection with other remedies, or ir
dependently as required.
: Warmers safe remedies are already stand
, ards Of the most pronounced scientif
value in all parts of the world, and we hay
no doubt the Log Cabin remedies, for til
diseases they are intended to cure, will
, of equal merit, for Mr.. Warner has the re-
utation of connecting his name with =
| preparation that is not meritorious.
