A HUNDRED YEARS A HERO.

How Seth Warner Won . Wife and Be-
came Famous
Colonel Seth Warner, of Vermont, the
famous heroo Of the Revolutionary war, was
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 headsl
To circumvent 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 this perilous and TO
mantle journey.
While on his way home he stopped at q
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 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
| ease 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 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 the regular
practice Of medicine.
Looking to the adoption by the people of
| this generation Of the old time simple rem
edies, his direct descendant, 81. r. 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 in
| 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 them
Warmers Log Cabin remedies, using as a
trademark an old-fashioned American log
| cabin. We understand that he intends to
put forth "sarsaparilla," for the blood,
the sarsaparilla itself being but one of a
| number of simple and effective elements
"Log CABIN hops and buchu," general
stomach tonic and invigorator: "Log
Cabin cough and consumption remedy
warmers Log Cabin hair tonic;;" prep
aration for that universal disease catarrh,
| called "Log Cabin rose cream" Warmers
Log Cabin plasters;" and Warmers Log
Cabin liver pills" which are to be used in
connection with other remedies, or in
dependently as required.
Warmers safe remedies are already stand
| ards of the most pronounced scientific
value in all parts of the world, and we have
no doubt the Log Cabin remedies, for the
| diseases they are intended to cure, will be
of equal merit, for Mr.. Warner has the rep
| utation Of connecting his name with nc
preparation that is not meritorious.
