In one of Harper's issues is given a very fine illustration of Roberts’ celebrated painting, known as ‘'Doctoring Old Time.” It represents a typical old-timer, with bis 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 a rare relic. ‘The suggestive name, ‘* Doctoring Old Time,” brings to our mind another version of the title, used for another purpose—"' Old Tinte 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 be- ginning of this century, and even before, with a view of ascertaining why people in our great- grandfathers’ time enjoyed a health and physicay 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 a remedy for every existing disorder,” was true, and acting under this belief, our grandparents used the com- mon herbs and plants. Continual trespass upon the forest domain, has made these herbs less abundant, and has driven them further from civi ization, until they have been discarded, as reme- dial agents because of the difficulty of obtaining them. | I. H. Warner, proprietor of Warner's safe cure, and founder of the Warner observatory, Rochester, N. Y., has been pressing investiga- tions 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 druggis They will, we learn, be known under general title of “* Warner's Log Cabin Remedies. | Among these medicines will be a jarsaparilla” | for the blood and liver, ** Log Cabin Hops and Buchu Remedy,” for the stomach, etc., “Log Cabin Cough and Consumption Remedy,” a remedy called ‘*Scalpine,” for the hair,” ** Log Cabin Extract,"’ for internal and external use, and | an old valuable discovery for Catarrh, called ‘' Log Cabin Rose Cream." Among the list is also a he Log Cabin Plaster,” and a ‘* Log Cabin Liver Pil.” Fre m the number of remedies, it will be seen that they do not propose to cure all diseases with | one preparation. It is believed by many that with | these remedies a new era is to dawn upon suffer- | ing humanity, and that the close of the nineteenth century will see these roots and herbs, as com- pounded under the title of Warner's Log Cabin | Remedies, as popular as they were at its begin- |ning. Although they come in the form of pro- prietary medicines, yet they will be none the less welcome, for suffering humanity has become tired of modern doctoring, and the public has great confidence in any remedies put up by the firm of which If. H. Warner is the head. The people have become suspicious of the effects of doctoring with poisonous drugs. Few realize the injurious effects following the prescriptions of many modern physicians. These effects of poisonous drugs, al- ready prominent, will become more pronounced in coming generations, Therefore we can cordially wish the old-fashioned new remedies the best of success, FINISHED IN ‘a THREE STYLES. | Thread, Cloth and Satin Covered.
