"DOCTORINGO LDTINIE..
A Striking Picture-A Revi-
val of Old Time Simplic-
tiles.

=
very fine illustration of Roberts
celebrated painting known as
"Doctoring Old Time" 1t repres-
ents typical old timer, with his
bellows blowing the dust from an
ancient clock with its cords and
weights carefully secured. One
of these clocks in this generation
is appreciated only as rare relic.
The suggestive name, doctor
ing Old Time" brings to our mind
another version of the title used
for another purpose,-"Old Time
Doctoring."
We learn through reliable
source that one Of the enterprising
proprietary medicine firms of the
country has been for years investi-
eating the formulas and medical
preparations used in the beginning
of this century and even before
with view of ascertaining why
people in our greatgrandfathers'
time enjoyed health and physical
vigor SO seldom found in the pres
emit generation. They now think
they have secured the secret or Sc
crets. They find that the prevail
ing opinion that then existed,
that mature has remedy for
every existing disorder" was true,
and acting under this belief, our
grandparents used the common
herbs and plants. Continual tres
pass upon the forest domain has
made these herbs less abundant
and has driven them further from
civilization until they have been
discarded as remedial agents be-
cause of the difficulty OF obtaining
them.
H. H Warner, proprietor of War
ner's safe cure and founder of the
Warmers observatory, Rochester,
N. Y, has been pressing investiga-
ions in this direction, into the an.
nals of old family histories until
h9 has secured some valuable tor
muias from which bis firm is now
preparing medicines, to be sold by
all druggists.
They will, we learn, be known
under the general title of "War-
ner's Log Cabin remedies"
Among these medicines will be a
"Sarsaparilla" for the blood and
liver, "Log Cabin hops and buchu
remedy" fer the stomach, cot,
"Log Cabin cough and consump.
ton remedy" "Log Cabin hair tom
ic," clog Cabin extract" for in
ternal and external use, and an
old valuable discovery for cattarrh
called LOG Cabin rose cream"
Among the list is also a clog Ca
bin plaster" and d clog Cabin
liver pill"
From the number of remedies, it
will be seen that they do not pro-
pose to cure all diseases with one
preparation. 1t is believed by
many that with these remedies
a new era is to dawn upon suffering
humanity and that the close of the
nineteenth century will see these
roots and herbs, as compounded
under the title of Warmers Log
Cabin remedies, as popular as they
were at it's beginning. Although
they come in the form of prophet
AIRY medicines, yet they will be
none the lees welcome, for suffering
humanity has become tired OF
modern doctoring and the public
has great confidence in any RENE
dies put up by the firm of which
Fl. II. Warner is the head. The
people have become suspicious OF
the Effects of doctoring with poison
our urugs. Few rrallz9 TOE inJur'
ioue .ffects following the prescr pt
Ions of many modern ply slcians
These effects Of poisonous drugs
already prominent, will become
more pronounced in coming gen
erations. Therefore we can cordi'
ally wish thdJld-fasnioned new rem
-dies the best of success.
