A Claim to Human Gratitude.

Charlotte Corday, the sad-faced, tender
hearted peasant girl Of Normany, made
| great history by one desperate acti
Sickened by the saturnalia OF tho French
revolution, and moved to desperation as
Robespierre and Marat were leading the
flower Of France TO the guillotine, shc de-
termined that she would put an end 10
Marat's bloody reign.
Marat had demanded two hundred thou
sand victims for the guillotinei
He proposed to kill off the enemies OF the
Revolution 10 make it perpetuall
Horrible thought
No wonder it fired the blood of this patrl-
otto peasant madl
Gaining access TO his closely guarded
quarters by a subterfuge, she found him IN
his bath, even then inexorable aud giving
written directions for further slaughter!
He asked her the names OF the inimical
deputies who had taken refuge in Caen.
She told him, and he wrote them down.
"That is well Before a week is over
they shall all be brought TO the guillotine."
At these words, Charlotte drew from her
bosom the knife, and plunged it with su-
pernatural force up to the hilt in the heart OF
Marat
"Come TO me, my dear friend, come to

In the Corcoran gallery at Washington is
| q famous parting Of Charlotte, represented
as behind the prison bars the day before
| her execution.
II is IL thrilling, sad picture, full of sorrow
| for her suffering country, and Of unconquer-
able hate for her country's enemies.
Whata lesson in this tragic storyi Two
| hundred. nay, five hundred thousand peo-
| pie would Marat have sacrificed TO his un-
holy passion Of power
Methods are quite as murderous and in
exorable as men, and they number their
victims by the millions.
| The page Of history is full OF murders by
authority and by mistaken iGeasl In the
practice OF medicine alone how many hun
drcds of millions have been allowed TO die
and as many more killed by unjustihable
bigotry and by bunglingl
But the age is bettering. Men and meth
DDS are improving. A few years ago it was
worth ones professional life TO advise or
permit the use Of q proprietary medicine.
| To-day there are not two physicians in any
| town In this country who do not regular

Ii. II. Warner famed all over the world
i as the discoverer of Warmers safe cure,
began hunting up the old remedies OF the
Log Cabin days after long and patient rc-
search he succeeded in securing some of the
most valuable, among family records, and
called them Warmers Log Cabin remedies
| the simple preparations OF roots, leaves,
i balsams and herbs which were the sue
,essful standbys OF our grandmoth-
crs. These simple, oldfashioned sar.
saparilla, hops and buchu, cough
/ and consumption and other remedies have
struck popular chord and are in extra
ordinary demand all over the land. They
are not the untried and imaginary remedies
| of some dabstcr chemist intent on making
money, but the long-sought principles of the
healing srt which for generations kept oui
ancestors in perfect health, put forth for the
good Of humanity by one who is known al
over the world as phlanthropist-=a lover
of his fellow man,-whose name is guaran
tee of the highest standard OF excellence
The preparations are Of decided ant
known inilu, tce over disease, and as in the
hands Of our grandmothers they raised III
the sick, cured the lame, anA bound up tho
wounds of d, .th, so in their new form bu'
olden power as Log Cabin remedies, they
are sure TO prove the "healing OF the ma
tions.n
Corday did the world an incalculable scrv
ice in ridding France OF the bgoted and
murderous Marat, just as this man is doing
humanity \ service by re-introducing to tine
world the simpler and better methods o.
our ancestors.
