4DoCroRING OLD TIME"
A STRIKING PICTURE-A REVIVAL OF
OLD TIME sIMPLICITIEs.

In one of Harper's issues is given a
very fine illustration of Roberts ceie-
brated painting, known as Doctorlng
Old Time" It represents a typical
old-timer, with his bellows, bloW.ng
the dust from an ancient clock, VIII.
its cords and weights carefully secured.
One of these clocks in this generation
is appreciated only as aware relic.
The suggestive name, DoctoTlng
Old time, brings to our mind another
version of the title, used for another
purpose, Old Time Doctoring.
We learn. througha reliable source,
that one of the enterprising proprietary
medicine firms of the country, has
been for years investigating the formu-
las and medical preparations used IN
the beginning of this century, and
even before, with view of ascertain
ing why people in our greatgrand-
fathers time enjoyed a health and
bpysical 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 $ Nature has a
remedy for every existing disorder, "
was true, and acting under this belief,
our grandparents used the common
| herbs and plants. Continual trespass
upon the forest domain, has made
| these herbs less abundant and has
! driven them further from civilization,
until they have been discarded, as
remedial agents because OF the dlffl-
Guilty of obtaining them.
/ III. H. Warner, proprietor of War

has been pressing 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,

the general title of. ssWarner's Log

rose cream" Among the list is also a
"Leg 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 believed by many that with these
remedies new era is to dawn upon
/ suffering humanity and that the close
of the nineteenth century will see
these roots and herbs, as compounded

: remedies, as popular as Ihey were at
} its beginning. Although they come
? in the form of proprietary medicines
: yet they will be none the less welcome
