"DOCTORING OLD TIME.n
A Striking Picture-A Revival OF Old
Time Slmpiicities.

"A Strlk1nE P1cture-A Revival of Old
Time Slmp,icities.
In one of Harper's issues is given a
a very fine illustration of Roberts cele-
brated painting known rs "Doctoring
Old Time" 1t represents typical
old-timer, with his bellows, blowing
the dust from an ancient clock, with its
cords and weights care fully secured.
One Of these clocks in this generation
is appreciated only ds a rare relic.
The suggestive name, "Doctoling
Old Time" brings to our mind an
other version of the title, used for an
other purpose" "old Time Doctor
ing"
We learn through a 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
beginning of this century, and even be-
fore, with view of ascertaining why
people in our great-grandfathers time
enjoyed health and physical vigor go
seldom found in the present genera
ton. They now think they have secured
the secret or secrets. They find that the
prevailing opinion that then existed.
that mature had a remedy for every
existing disorder" was true, and act
ing under this belief, our grandparents
used the common herbs and plants.
Continual trespass upon the forest do
main has made these herbs less abun-
dant and has driven them from civili-
zation until they have been discarded
as remedial agents because of the diff
Guilty of obtaining them.
H. h. 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 formulas, from which his
firm is now preparing medicines, to be
sold by all druggists.
They will. we learn, be known under
the general titles of warmers Log
Cabin remedies" Among these madi-
cines will be "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"
Lug SdUlu cAtTdCl, 1OT internal ana
external use, and an old valuable dis
covery for catarrh, called LOG Cabin
rose cream" 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
remedies new era is to dawn upon
suffering humanity and that the close
of the nineteenth century will see these
roots and herbs, as compounded under
the title of Warmers Log Cabin reme-
dies, as popular as they were at its be-
ginning. Altough they come in the
form Of proprietary medicines, yet they
will be none the less welcome, for suf-
fering humanity has become tired of
modern doctoring and the public has
great confidence in any remedies put
up by the firm of which H. II. Warner
is the head. The people have become
suspicious Of the effects of doctoring
with poisonous drugs. Few realize the
injurious effects following the prescrip-
tions of modern physicians. These ef-
fects 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.
