s.DocrORING OLD TINE"
A Striking Picture-A Revival Of Old Time
SimplicitteS.

In one of Harper.s issues is given q very
fine illustration Of Roberts celebrated
painting, known as "Doctoring Old Time y
1t represents typical o1d-timer, with bis
bellows, blowing the dust from an ancient
clock, with its cords and weights carefully
secured. One of these clocks in this gen
Grafton is appreciated only as rare relic
The suggestive name. ''Doctoring 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 medi-
cine firms of the country, has been for
years investigating the formuleS and med
zeal preparations used in the beginning of
this century, and even before, with view
of ascertaining why people in our great
grandfathers time enjoyed health and
physical vigor so seldom found in the
present generation. They now think they
have secured the secret or secrets. They
find that the prevailing 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. Con-
tinual trespass upon the forest domain has
made these herbs less abundant and has
driven them further from civilization, I'M
til they have been discarded as remedial
agents because of the difficulty OF obtain
ing them.
H. H. Warner, proprietor of Warmers
safe cure and founder of the Warner OBJ
servatory, Rochester, n. Y, has been
pressing Investigations in this direction,
into the annals of old family histories, IN
til he has secured some very valuable for
mulas from which his firm is now prepar-
ing medicines to be sold by all druggists.
They will, we learn, be known under the
general title of warmers Log Cabin rem
edies." Among these medicines will be a
"sarsaparilla" 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
cream" 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 promise to cure all
diseases with one preparation. 1t is be-
lieved by many that with these remedies
new era is to dawn upon suffering human
ity 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 the beginning. Although they
come in the form of proprietary medicines
yet they will be none the less welcome
for suffering humanity has become tired
of modern doctoring and the public has
great confidence in any remedies put up by
the firm of which H. II. Warner is the
head. The people have become suspicious
Of the effects of doctoring with poisonous
drugs. Few realize the injurious effects
the prescriptions of many modern
These effects ofpoisonous drugs,
already prominent, will become more
pronounced in coming generations. There
fore we can cordially wish the old-fashion-
ed new remedies the best of success.
