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

OOlOll0I O0Gu w dIu6I, Vi N6rnOnG,
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 faver. The settlers were
stung by the supposed injustice. This
state of things brought Colonel Seth
Warner to the front. With Ethan AL
len 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 q price put on their
heads!
To circumvent New York, it was
necessary that some one should go in
to that state and gain required infor-
nation. Col. Warner, assuming the
name Of "Dr. Howard" undertook this
perlious and romantic journey.
While on his way home he stopped
at country inn, wnere an old gentle
man and daughter were storm-bound.
The father fell i'll 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 those years. When the doctor was
not easily reached, months of sickness,
and even life were often saved by some
unprofessional friend versed in the
use OF simple herbs and roots. The
health OF early settlers and their pow
ers OF endurance convince us that such
medicines did only good and left no
poison in the blood to work as much
injury to the system as would the dis
ease itself.
In time of peace 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 precent age to give to
the public what was then used with
such positive success.
Warner for over hundred years has
shared with Ethan Allen the admira-
ton of the American people.
Colonel Seth Warner belongs to a |
family Of wide distinction; no less
than eight members thereof won
fame in the regular practice OF med
icine.
Looking to the adoption by the peo-
pie OF this generation of the old time
simple remedies, his direct descendant,
IL. H. Warner, the well-known propri-
etor OF Warmers safe cure, for many
years has been experimenting with old |
time roots and herbs formule and, his
search having been finally rewarded |
with success, he gives the world the
result. These receipts and formula in
other days accomplished great things
because they were purely vegetable
and combined simply so as to cure the |
disease indicated, without injury TO
the system. In harmony with their
old time character, we learn that he
proposes to call them Warmers Log
Cabin remedies, using as a trademark |
an old-tashioned American log cabin. |
We understand that he intends to put |
forth a salsaparilla," for the blood |
the sarsaparilla itself being but one of |
a number of simple ond effective ele-
ments; Log Cabin hops and buchu,"
q general stomach tonic and invigora-
tor: Log Cabin cough and consump-
ton remedy" Warmers Log Cabin |
hair tonic;" preparation for that
universal disease catarrh, called clog |
Cabin rose cream" Warmers Log
Cabin plasters;" and Warmers Log |
Cabin liver pills." which are to be
used in connection with the other
or independently as requir-
ed.
Warmers safe remedies are already |
standards of the most pronounced |
scientific value in all parts of the world,
and we bave no doubt the Log Cabin |
for the diseases they are in
tended to cure, will be of equal merit, |
Tor Mr.. Warner has the reputation of |
connecting his name with no prepa-
ration that is not melitorious.
