How -rtppecaneeo Harrison was

The battle of Tippecanoe was fought
November 8, 1911, in Indiana, on the
banks of Tippecanoe river, on the site OF
the present village OF Battle Ground. be-
tween the Americans under Gen. Harri-
son. and the Indians under the Prophet,
Tecumseh's brother.
After the famous battle until the end
of his days Gen. Harrison. grandfather
of President Benjamin Harrison, was
known by the loving soubriquet of "Tip-
pecanoe.
Following his brilliant achievements in
arms, now more than three. quarters of a
century ago. Gen. Harrison, together
with many OF his troops. was stricken
with disease. contracted through lack Of
proper food and exposure to the miasma
of that section of Indiana, and for a
time his life was despsired Of. Several
of bis command lay for weeks, suffering
the horrors of disease upon the banks Of
the Tlppecanoe river, which rises in a
lake of the same name in the northern
part of the state, flows southwest 200
miles and empties into the Wabash nine
miles above Lafayette. Gen Harrison 8
troops were threatened with defamation,
and the skill of the army surgeons was
employed in vain to combat more ter
rible and deadly enemy than even the
hostile aborigines under Tecumsehs
brother.
But relief came at last.
General Harrison very sensibly con-
cluded that residents of the neighborhood
nay, the Indians themselves-knew ma
lures specific for the disease which had
prostrated him and many of his command,
and instantly set on foot enquiries with a
view to ascertaining and applying the
remedies. They were speedily found and
put to test, and worked like charm.
Under their use the stricken soldiers were
promptly restored to their wonted good
health and vigor.
The medicines were preparations of
simple roots and herbs, based upon very
old>fashioned but effective and natural
formulate Their intrinsic merits have
been known and utilized for generations
among people living in remote and ma
larial sections of the country.
Many of these invaluable formule have
within the last two years come into pos
session of Hon. H. H. Warner, president
of the Rochester chamber of commerce,
owner of the largest proprietary medicine
mandatory in the world. and whose
Safe remedies have conferred lasting
boon upon mankind. being recognized as
standard medicines throughout the CIVIL
lied globe.
In 1887, Mr.. Warner, after careful ex-
perimenting and trial put upon the mar
ket Warmers Log Cabin remedies. based
upon the formul@ which has cured thou
sands of debilitated sufferers. not only on
the banks of the 'Tippecsnoe," as above
related. but everywhere where intro
duced.

signed for an entirely different order of
diseases to which the Safe remedies are
applied; among them are Warmers Log

OF clinical medicine at University college

"Bright's disease has no symptoms of its
