"pOcTORlNG OLD TIME"
4 Striking Picture-A Revival Of Old
Time SimplicIties.

In one of Harper's issues is given
very fine illustration of Roberts cele-
brated painting, known as "Doctoring
Old Time" 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 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 a reliable source,
that one of the enterprising proprietary
medicine firms of the country, has been
for wears investigating the formulas and
medical preparations used in the begin
ming of this tcentury, and even before,
with view of ascertaining why people
in our great-grandfathers' time enjoyed
a health and physical vigor 80 seldom
found in the present generation. They
now think they have secured the secret OF
secrets. They find that the prevailing
opinion that then existed, that Mature
| has a remedy for every existing dis
! ORDER" was true, and acting under this
belief, our grandparents used the COM
mon herbs and plants. Continual tres
! pass upon the forest domain, has made
. THESE ueTUS less chu AAe@'
! driven them further from civilization,
until they have been discarded, as
remedial agents because of the difficulty
! of obtaining them.
H. H. Warner, proprietor of Warmers
! safe cure and founder of the Warner
I 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 title of 'Warners Log Cabin
remedies" Among these medicines will
liver, clog Cabin hops and buchu rem
edy," for the stomach, ETC., "Log Cabin
cough and consumption remedy" 'Log
Cabin hair tonic, clog Cabin extract, -
for internal and external use, and an old
valuable discovery for catarrh, called
clog Cabin rose cream" Among the
list is also clog Cabin plaster" and
clog 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 manysthatswith these rem
elies a new era is to dawn upon suffer
ing humanity and that the close of the
nineteenth century will see these roofs
and herbs, as compounded under the title
vi Warmers Log Cabin remedies, as pop
ular as they were at its beginning. AL
though they come in the form of pro
prietary medicines, yet they will be none
the less welcome, for suffering humanity
| mas become tired of modern doctoring anC
the public has great confidence in any
remedies put up by the firm of whicl
H. H. Warner is the head. The peopl;
have become suspicious of the effects 0
doctoring with poisonous drugs. Few
realize the injurious effects following tht
prescriptions Of many modern physicians
These effects of poisonous drugs, alread,
prominent, will become more pronouncet
! in coming generations. Therefore We CHI
cordially wish the old-fashioned nov
remedies the best of success.
