Striking Picture-A Revival of Old Time
Simphcities,
In one OF Harpsr's issues is given a
very fine illustration of Roberts cele-
brated painting, known as "Doctorine
Old Time" II represents q typical old
timer, with his bellows, blowing the dust
from an ancient clock, with its cords aud
weights carefully secured. One of these
clocks in this generation is appreciated
only as rare relic.
The suggestive name, "Doctoring Old
Time" brings to our mind another YER
sion of the title, used for another pur-
pose,-"0ld Time Doctoring."
We learn, through q reliable source,
that one of the enterprising proprietary
medicine firms of the country, has been
for years investigating the formulas and
medical preparations used in the begin
ming OF this century, add even before,
with view of ascertaining why people
In our great grandfsthers' time enjoyed
health and physical vigor so seldom
found IN the present generation. They
now think they have secured the secret of
secrets. They find that the prevailing
opinion chat then existed, that Mature
has remedy for every existing disorder"
was true, and acting under the belief, our
grandparents used the common heros
and plants. Continual trespass upon the
forest domain, has made these herbs less
abundant and has driven them further from
cIynIzation, until they have been dis
carded. as remedial agents because of
the difficulty of obtaining them:
Ii. ii. Warner, proprietor OF Warmers
safe cure and founder of the Warner
observatory, Rochester, n. Y. has been
JreSSiDrr IDyastiuarinps in
INTO the annals Of Old family histories,
until he has secured some very valuable
formulas, from which His firm is now
pre- airing medicines, to be sold by sill
druggists.
They Will, We learn, be known under
the general title of Warmers Log CABIN
remedies" Among these medicines will be
"sarsapari!la," for the blood and liver,
Log Cabin hops and buchu remedy" for
the stomach, etc, "Log Cabin cough and
consumption remedy" LOG Cabin hair
tonic" Log Cabin extract" for internal
and external use, and an old valuable dis
covery for catsrrh, called Log Cabin
rose crsam." Among the list is also
LOG Cabin plaster" and LOG Cabin
liver pill"
From the number of remedies, it will
be seen that they do not propose to
cure all diseases with one preparation.
II is believed by many that with these
remedies new era is to dawn upon suffer.
Ing humanity and that the close of the
nineteenth century will see these TOOLS
and herbs, as compounded under the
title of Warmers Log cabin remedies, as
popular as they were at its beginning.
Although they como in the form of pro
prietary medicines, yet they will be none
the less welcome, for suffering humanity
has beooms tired of modern doctoring
and the public has great confidence in
any remedies put up by the firm of
which II. Il. Warner is the head. The
people have become suspicious of the
effects of dootoring with poisonous drugs.
Few realize the injurious effects follow
ing the prescriptions of many modern
physicians. These effects of poisonous
drugs, already prominent, will become
more pronounced in coming generations.
Therefore We can cordially wish the old
fashioned new remedies the best of
success.
