THROUGH THE FOREST.
Tho Old and Young Danced All 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, if they lived little bit
more in the past, and drew less ON the fut-
ure. t
The log cabins of primitive times would
seem very cherries habitations to the
people who live in the finely constructed,
furnace heated mansions of to-day. But our
grandparents took great deal of comfort
In these 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 help
less slaves 70 hired foreign help.
White-haired grand-sires frequently took
their life-partners and on horseback rode q
score Of miles through the forests to enjoy
the lively pleasures Of frontier ball,
danced till daylight, rode homo again In the
early morning, then put in good days
work. 81
Middle-aged folks of to-day couldn't
stand that sort of q racket.
To these mud-chinked log cabins doctors
visits were rarity. The inhabitants lived
to a rugged and green old age.
Sometimes these log cabin old-timers were
taken ILL They were not proof against all
the exposures to which they were subject
ed. They found the effective remedies for
these common ailments in the roots and
herbs which grew in the neighboring for
ests and fields. They had learned that nat
ure has cure for every i'll. These potent
remedies assisted their sturdy frames to
quickly throw OF disease and left no poison
in the system.
The unpleasant feature of modern prac-
tice with mineral medicines is the injurious
after effect on the system. May not mod
ern physical degeneracy be due to this feat
urel
A drug saturated system is not in nat
ural, consequently not in q healthy, state.
II any of the main organs are clogged with
traces Of the mineral poisons used to drive
out particular disease, the whole machin-
cry of life Is deranged aud early decay Of
natural powers is the inevitable result.
There can be no question that remedies
from the laboratory Of nature are the best.
II they are as efficacious, they have the ad-
vantage Of learisg no after sting.
Their efficacy, If properly compounded,
and the proper remedy applied to the proper
disease, will not be doubted The expert
ence Of ages proves 1t.
Inolr QlSuSe mas come ABOUT pflnclpdily
through the rapid congregation of people in
cities and villages, rendering these natural
remedies difficult to obtain. Progressive
business enterprise has lately led to putting
these old time remedies within reach of all
classes.
The proprietors of Warmers safe RENE
dies, in the faith that the people of to-day
would be benefited by using the simple
remedies of log cabin days, have caused in
vestigations to be made and secured the
formulas of number Of those which long
and successful use had proved to be most
valuable.
They win, we learn, be known under the
general title of "Warner's Log Cabin Rem
edies." Among these medicines viii be q
'sSarsaparilla" for the blood and liver,
"Log Cabin Hops and Buchu Remedy" for
the stomach, etc, LOG Cabin Cough and
Consumption Remedy" q remedy called
''Scalpine," for the hair, "Log Cabin Elk
tract" for internal and external use, and
an old valuable discovery for catarrh, called
sLog Cabin Rose Cream.n Among the list
is also a sLog Cabin Plaster'' and sToe
Cabin Liver Pill"
