"DoCroRING OLD TIME.r
A Striking Picture.-A Revival of Old
Time SimpliCitics.

Time SimpIicities.
In one of Harpers issues is given a
very fine illustration of Roberts cele-
brated painting, known as "Doctoring
Old Time" 1t represents typical old
timer, with his bellows, blowing dust
from an ancient clock, with its cords
and weights carefully secured. One of
these clocks in this generation is ap-
preached only as rare relic.
The suggestive name, "Doctoring Old
Time" brings to our mind another ver-
sion of the title, used for another pur-
pose,-"Old Time Doctoring."
We learn, through reliable source,
that one of the enterprising proprietary
medicine firms of the country, has been
for years investigating the formulas and
medical preparations used in the begin
ming Of this century, and even before,
with view of ascertaining why people
in our great-grandfathers time enjoyed
a health and physical vigor so seldom
found in the present generation. They
now think they have secured the secret
or secrets, They find that the prevail
ing opinion that then existed, that Ma.
ture has remedy for every eXistin
disorder" was true, and acting undeg
this belief, our grandparents used thr
common herbs AMI plants. Centinuae
trespass upon the foreign domain, ha |
made these herbs less abundant and ha 5
driven them further from civilizations
until they have been discarded. as rem
edial agents because of the difficulty o =
obtaining them.
ii. ii. Warner, proprietor of Warmers
safe cure and founder of the Warner
observa,o ory, Rochester, N. Y, 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.
They, will, we learn, be known under
he general title of Warmers Log Cab
in Remedies" 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 Rem
edy," Log Cabin Hair Tonic Log
Cabin Extract" for internal and eXter-
nal use, and an old valuable discovery
tor catarrh, called Log Cabin Rose
Cream.n 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
believed by many that with these reme-
dies a new era is to dawn upon suffering
humanity and that the close of the nine
teenth century will see these roots and
herbs, as compounded under the title of
Warmers Log Cabin Remedies, rs pop
ular as they were at its reginning Al
though they come in the form of pro-
lprietary medicines, yet they will be none
the less welcome, for suffering human
ity has become tired of modern doctor
ing and the public has great confidence
in any remedies put up by the firm of
which II. IL. 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 OF
poisonous drugs already prominent, will
1 become more pronounced in coming
generations. Therefore we can cordially
wish the Old-fashiOned new remedies
the best of success.
