q Striking P1cture-A Revival of Old Time
Simplicities.
In one of Harper's issues is given very
fine illustration of Roberts celebrated
painting, known as ''Doctoring Cid Timen
1t represents typical old-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 a 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 enterprlsing proprietary medi-
cine firms of The country, has been for
years investigating the formulas and medi-
cal preparations used in the beginning of
this century, and even before, with view
of ascertaning why people in our great,
grandfathers' time enjoyed a heath and
phy5lcal vigor so seldom found IN The pres
emf generation. They now think they
have secured the secret or secrets. They
find that the prevailing opinion that then
| existed, that "Nature 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 shave been discarded, as remedial
| agents because II the difficulty of obtaining
them.
II. H. Warner, proprietor of Warmers
safe cure and founder of the Warner OBJ
| servatory Rochester, n Y, has been press
| ing investigations in this direction, into the
annals of old family histories, until he has
secured some very valuable formulas, from
which his firm is now preparing medicines,
to be sold by all druggists. +.
They will we learn, be known under the
| general title of "Warner's Log Cabin rem
edies." Among these medicines will be a
sarsaparlla," 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 catarrh, called Log Cabin rose
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 propose to cure all
diseases with one preparation. 1t is be-
ieved by many that with these remedies a
new era is to dawn upon suffering human
ity and that the close of the nineteenth
century will see these roots and heros, as
compounded under the title of Warmers
Log Cabin remedies, as popular as they
were at its beginning. Although they
come in the form of proprietary medi-
cines, yet they will be none the less well
come 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 II. Fl. Warner is the
head. The people have become suspicious
of the effects of doctoring with poisonous
drugs. Few realize the injurious effects
following the prescriptions of many modern
physicians. These effects ofpoisonous drugs,
already prominent, will become more pro
nounced IN coming generations. Therefore
we can cordially wish the od-fashioned new
remedies the best of success.
