"DOCTORlNG OLD TIME"
Striking Picture--A Revival of Old
Time Simplicities.

In one of Harper's issues is given very
ine illustration Of Roberts celebrated
painting, known as "Doctoring Old
lime" 1t represents typical old-timer,
with his bellows, blowing the dust from
an ancient clock, with its cords and
weights carefully secured. One of these
clocks in this generation is appreciated
only as a rare relic.
The suggestive name, "DoctoYing Old
Time" brings to our mind another YER
sion of the title, used for another purpose
cold Time Doctoring."
We learn, through a reliable source,
that one of the enterpirsing 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 a view of ascertafniDg 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
Mature has 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
mad these herbs less abundant and has
driven them further from civilization,
until they have been discarded, as RENE
dial agents because OF the difficulty Of
obtaining them.
Fl. II. Warner, proprietor OF Warmers
safe cure and founder of the Warner OBJ
servatory, Rochester, N. Y, has been
pressing investigations in this direction,
into thei 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
remedies" Among these medicines will
be "sarsaparilla, for the blood and
liver, LOG Cabin hops and buchu rem
edy," for the stomach, etc, clog Cabin
cough and consumption remedy LOG
Cabin hair tonic" "Log Cabin extract, !"
for internal and external use, and an old
valuable discovery for catarrh, called
"Log Cabin rose cream" Among the
list is also a "Log Cabin plaster" and a
"Log Cabin liver pill -,
From the number of remedies, it will

all diseases with one preparation. 1t is
believed by many that with these reme-
dies 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, 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 be-
come tired of modern doctorng and the
public has great confidence in any RENE
dies put up by the firm of which II. IL.
Warner is the head. The people have
become suspicious of the effects OF doctor
ing'with poisonous drugs. Few realize the
in urious effects following the prescrip-
tons of many modern physicians: These
effects of poisonous drugs, already prom
inent, will become more pronounced in
coming generations. Therefore we can
cordially wish the old-fashioned new
remedies the best of success.
