"DOCTORING OLD TIME"
A Striking Picture-A Revival of Old
Time Simplfcities.

Time Symphonies.
In one of Harper's issues is given very
fine illustration OF Roberts celebrated paint
ing, known as "Doctoring Old Time" 1t
represents typical old-timer, with, his bel
lows, blowing the dust from an ancient
clock, with its cords and weights carefully
secured. One Of these clocks in this genera
ton 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 formulas and medical
preparations used in the beginning Of this
century, and even before, with view Of as
certaining why people in our great-grand
fathers time enjoyed health and physical
vigor so seldom found in the present gener-
alton. L ley 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 rem edial agents because Of the difficulty
of obtaining them.
Fl. II. Warner, proprietor of Warmers
safe cure and founder of the Warner OBJ
se.yatory, Rochester, n. Y, has been press
ing investi cations 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 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
covery for cata,rh, called % Log Cabin rose
cream" Among the list is also a 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-
ieyed 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 herbs, 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 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 III. H. 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 physi-
clans. These effects of poisonous drugs,
already prominent, will become more pro-
nounced in coming generations. Therefore
we can cordially wish the old-fashiened new
remedies the hest OF S11nneSs
