A CLAIM TO HUMAN GRAFT.
TUDE.


Charlotte Corday, the sad-faced,
tender-hearted peasant girl OF Nor
mandy made great history by one
desperate act
Sickened by the saturnalia OF the
French revolution, and moved to
desperation as Robespierre and Marat
were leading the flower of France to
the guiIlotine. she determined that
she would put an end to Marat's
bloody reign.
Marat had demanded two hundred
thousand victims for the guilotiDe!
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 peasant maid
Gaining access to his closely
guarded quarters 10y subterfuge, she
found him in his bath even then
inexorable and giving written direc-
tions for further slaughterl
lie asked her the names of the
inimical deputies who had taken re-
fuge in Caen. She told him, and he
wrote them down. "That is well
Before week is over they shall
all he 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 tc me, my dear friend,
come to me-" cried Marat, and ex-
pired under the blowl
In the Corcoran gallery at Wash
ington is famous painting of
Charlotte, represented as behind the
prison bars the day before her ex-
ecution.
Ii is a thrilling, sad picture, full
of sorrow ior her suffering country,
and OF unconquerable hate for her
coun:ry's enemies.
What lesson in this tragic storyl
Two hundred. nay, five hundred
thousand people would Marat have
sacrificed to his unholy passion Of
powerl
Methods are quite as murderous
and inexorable 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 mil
lions have been allowed 10 die and az
many more killed by unjustlfiable
bigolry and by bunglingl
But the age is lettering. Men and
methods are improving. A few years
ago it was worth ones professional
life to advise or permit the use OF Il
proprietary medicife. To-day there
me not two physicians in any town
in this country who do not regularly
prescribe some form OF proprietary
renaedyl
II. II. Warner, famed all over the
world as the diseoverer OF Warmers
sale cure, began hunting up the old
remedies of the Log Cabin days /;
after long and patient research he
succeeded in securing some OF the
most valuable, among family records.
and called them Warmers Log Cabin
remedies--the simple preparations of
roots, leaves, balsams and herbs
which were the successful standbys
OF our grandmoihers. These simple,

medies of some dabster chemist
intent on making money, but the
long-songht principles of the healing
art which for generations kept cur
ancestors in perfect heslth, put forth
for the good OF humanity by one who
! is known all over the world as n
/ philanthropist-a lover OF his fellow
/ man, whose name is guarantee oi
the highest standard of excellence.
The preparations are of decided

mothers they raised up the sick,
cured the lame, and bound up the
wounds of death, so in their new
form but olden power as Log Cabin
remedies, they are sure to prove the
"healing of the nations."
Corday did the world an incalcul,
able service in Kidding France of the
bigoted and murderous Marat, just as
this man is doing humanity n service
by re-introducing 10 the world the
simpler and better methods OF ouI
ancestors.
