A HUNDRED YEARS A HERO,
How Seth Warner Won a Wife And
Became Famous.

Colonel Seth Warner, of Vermont,
the famous hero of the Revolutionary
war, was a 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 Eng
land in their favor. The settlers were
stung by the supposed 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
finally he, with Allen and others, were
outlawed and a price put on their
heads!
To circumvent New York, it was
necessary that some one should 60 in
to that state aud gain required infor-
nation. Col. Warner, assuming for
safety the name of CDR. Howard" un-
dertook this perilous and romantic
journey.
While on his way home he stopped
at country inn, where an old gentle
man and daughter were storm.bound.
The father fell ill 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
a wife.
| Such incidents were not uncommon
in these years. When the doctor was not
easily reached, months of sickness, and
even life were often saved by some un-
professional friend yersed III the use of
simple herbs and roots. The health of
early settlers and their powers of en-
durance CONVINCE us that such medi-
cines did only good and left no poison
in the blood to work as much injury to
the system as would the disease itself.
In time OF !"ace the colonel was in
constant 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
positive success.
Warner for over hundred years has
shared with Ethan Allen the ;ltsmiru-
lion Of the American people.
Celunel Seth Warner belongs to Il
family OF wide dist :ction; no less
than eight members thereof won fame
in the regular practice of medicine.
j Looking to the adoption by the peo-
pie of this generation of the Old time
simple remedies, his direct descendant,
!: III. II. Warner, the well-knonn propri
etor OF Warmers safe cure, for many
years has been experimenting with old
time roots and herbs formul;p and, his
, search having been finally rewarded
with success, he gives the world the
result. These recipes and formulip
in other days accomplished great
things because they were purely Vege-
, table and combined simply SO as to
cure the disease Indicated, without i'll
