OLD TINE sIMPLIcITIEs.
In one Of Harper's issues is given
very fine illustration of Roberts
celebrated painting. known as doc
toring Old Time" It represents @
typical oId-timer, with his bellows
blowing the dust from an ancient
cleck, with its cords and weights
carefully secured. One Of these
clocks in this generation is appre-
ciated only as a 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 Il reliable
source, that one OF the enterprising
proprietary medicine firms Of the
country, has been for years inycs-
tigating the formulas and medical
preparations used in the beginning
Of this century, and even before,
with view of ascertaining why
people in our gieat-grandfathers'
time enjoyed.a health ard physical
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
Il remedy for every existing dis
order" was true, and acting under
this belief, our grandparents used
the common herbs and plants. Con-
tinual trespass upon the forest do
main, has made these herbs less
abundant and has driven them fur
ther from civilization, until they have
been discarded, as remedial agents
because Of the difficulty of obtaining
them.
II. II. Warner, proprietor Of War
ner's safe cure and founder of the
Warner observatory, Rochester, n.
y, has been pressing investigations
in this direction, into the annals of
old family histories, until he has
secured some very valuable formu-
las, from which his firm is now pre-
pairing medicines, to be sold by all
druggists.
They will, we learn, be known
under the general title of Warmers
Log Cabin remedies Among these
medicines will be "sarsaparilla, s"
for the blood and liver, "Log Cabin
hops and buchu remedy" for the
stomach, etc, "Log Cabin cough and
consumption remedy" sIog Cabin
hair tonic, clog Cabin extract" for
internal and external use, and an
old valuable discovery for catarrh,
called Log Cabin rose cream"
Among the list is also Log Cabin
liver pill
From the number of remedies, it
will be seen that they do not propose
to cure all diseases with one prepar-
alton 1t is believed by many that
with these remedies a new era is to
dawn upon suffering humanity and
that the close Of the nineteenth cen.
fury will see these roots and herbs
as compounded under the title Of
Warmers Log Cabin remedies, as
popular as they were at its begin
ming. 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 TIN
public has great confidence in any
remedies put up by the firm of which
III. ii. Warner is the head. Tn
people have become suspicious o
the effects of doctoring with poison
GUS drugs. Few realize the injuri
Gus effects following the prescription
of many modern physicians. Thes
effects Of poisonous drugs, alread,
prominent, will become more pro
nounced in coming generation.
Therefore we can cordially wish tn
old-fashioncd new remedies the bes
Of success.
