"DOCTOrtING OLD TIME.-
A Striking Fctnre A Kerlval of e:
Time SlmpUcltlea.
la one ol Harper's issues is given
a very fine illustration of Roberts'
celebrated pointing, known as "Doc
toring Old Time." It represents a
typical old-timer, with his bellows,
blowing the dust from an ancient
clock, with its cords and weights
carefully secured. One of these clocks
inthi3 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 Time Doctoring."
We learn, through a reliable
source, that one of the enterprising
proprietary medicine firms of the
country, has been for years investiga
ting the formulas and medical pre
parations used in the beginning of
this century, and oven before, with
a view of ascertaining why people in
our great-grandfathers' time enjoyed
a health and physical vigor so seldom
found in the present generation.
They now think they have secured
the secret or sewets. They find that
the prevailing opinion that then
existed, that "Nature has a remedy
for every exiuting disorder," was
true, and acting under this belief, our
grandparents used the common herbs
and plants. Continual trespass upon
the forest domain, has made these
herbs less abundant and has driven
them further iom civilization, until
they have been discarded, as remedial
agents because of the difficulty of
uuuiiiiui iiieuy.
H. II. AYaracr, proprietor of War
ner's sale 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 Borne very valuable 'formulas,
from which 1 lis firm. is now prepar
ing medicine,", to be sold by all
druggists.
They will, we learn, be known
under the general title of "Warner's
Log Cabin remedies." Among these
medicines will be a "sareaparilla."
for the blood and liver, "Log Cabin
hops and buihu remedy," for the
stomach, etc., "Log Cabin cough and
consumption remedy," "Log Cabin
hair tonic," "Log Cabin extract," for
internal and external use, and an old
valuable discovery for catarrh, called
"Loc Cabin rose cream." Among
the list is also.i "Log Cabin plaster,''
and a "Log Cabin liver pill."
From the number of remedies, it
will be seen that they do not propose
to cure all diseases with one prepara
tion. It it believed by many that
with these remedies a new era is to
dawn upon suffering humanity and
that the close of the nineteenth cen
tury will see these roots and herbs,
as compounded under the title of War
ner's Log Cabin remedies, aB popular
as they wore at its beginning. Al
though thy come in the form of
proprietary medicines, yet they will
be none the less welcome, for suffer
ing humanity bas become tired of
modern doctoring and the-public has
great confidence in any remedies put
up oy ttionrm ol whicn iL. iu War
ner is the head: - The people have
become suspicious of the effects of
doctoring with poisonous drugs. Few
realize lire injurious effects following
the prescriptions of many modern
physicians. These effects of poisonous
drugs, already pro"mfnentyWiUIecome
more pronounced inrmih'genera
tions. Therefore we can cordially wiSh
the old-fashioned new remedies- tho
best of success! , -,-t

POOE BUT PBOUD.
A Sad Oase of Destitution in Missouri.
A peculiarly unique and ro
mantic case'ofieminine destitution
came to the notice of the railroad
men at Robert street station, Car
ondelet, the other day, says a Mis
souri exchange. A woman wan
and haggard from toil, exposure
and want of proper nourishment,
but who seemed still young,
dressed in a coarse but neat plain
apparel, limped painfully into the
ladies' waiting room. Her face
bore unmistakable evidence of
fading beauty, and together with
her graceful, genteel air and mod
est reserve, betokened a refine
ment which still lingered, despite
her struggles against ill fortune.
A baby weighing some thirty
pounds, was strapped upon her
back, something. after the manner
of an aboriginal pappoose. After
taking a seat, with a manner that
indicated intense languor, she re
moved the little burden and asked
Mr. "Walsh, the genial ticket agent,
how far he could send her on a
ticket for 25 cents. After some
inquiry he elicited from her the
confession that she had but 40
cents and must reserve 15 cents to
buy mil r. for her child.
The woman baa walked from
Cuba Mo., and was trying to reach
DeLassus, in this state, where her
relatives lived. She stated that
she was the daughter of' a wealthy
larmer at tnat place, tier name
she gave as Miss Ratalie Munford,
disdaining to bear that of her hus
band. She had been reared almost
luxuriously, had received a thor
ough education, but had been very
unfortunate in marryincr a man not
of her choice. According to her
own very pitiable story, her par
ents compelled her to abandon her
own choice for a husband, a quiet
young farmer, worthy and sub
stantial, and to marry a man named
Thomas, who, at that time, was a
very promising young lawyer, and
in both dress and deportment was
quite flashy. But in the lapse of
time her husband grew dissolute,
she said, and after dragging her
down step by step to poverty de
serted her at Cuba, Mp. A large
debt for rentwas hauging over her
and finally she was turned out of
doors by the long-suffering land
lord. After selling off all the fur
niture 2.30 still remained, witb
which she took up her weary tr.lnip
rather than be a subject of charity.
She was going home, she said, only
to show her parents what a wreck
they had made of her life and was
then going to see the young far
mer of her choice, who she knew
was still true to her. At the men
tion of the man of her true love
she for the first time exhibited her
womanly weakness by bursting
into tears. She was going to him,
in her misery, and ask in a wo
manly way for the love that her
parents had compelled her to dis
card, would get a divorce, and they
would be at last united.
She would accept no money as
a charity but a number of the boys
and the kindhearted. agent rustled
around and made up a nurse,.
bought a ticket to DeLassus which
she would accept only as a loan
slyly put $2.80 into her baby's
stocking, and gave her in chargo
of a conductor.
Annihilating a Multiform Disease.
Miasmatic, or malarial disease has innnr.
forms. Physicians have, for the sake of Con
venlenceand for the purpose ot Indicating
Its most strongly marked forms, subdivided
It into intermittent and bilious remittent 1
iever, dump ague ana ague cake. Bntlt
presents an infinite variety of sjmptonis In
uiuerem raamuuais. .Be mese s1
what they will, al ways remember that llos
tetter's Stomach Bitters will annihilate thenn
at tne outset, ana prevent their recurrence!.
A review of the proofs would convince arp
one of the fact. This, however. Is Impos
sible becaue they are too numerous and un.
necessary because the effects of this grand;
anti-malarial specific are a matter of comi
mon knowledge. Mo less familiar to tile
public are Its remedial and preventive af
fects In bilious atacks. constipation, dyspap
sla, incipient rheumatism, debility and kid
ney troubles. It Is, moreover, an excelling
appetizer and tonic nervine.
Every crop has at some teoae
during the year a raise and de
pression in price, and the. live
farmer must keep posted en the
condition of the markets so as to
sell'to the best advantage. It oft
en requires more wisdom to- mar
ket crops profitably than tr raise
good crops".
THE FIRST SVMPrOJIS F MATH.
Knowing that a cough call be cheeked
In a day, and the lirst stages of consump
tion broken In a-weck we hereby guar
antee Acker's English Cough-Remedy,
uu nii leiuuu me money to an wno
buy, take it as per directions, and do
not find our statement correct.
J. YV.C(nn, Druggist.
Never whip a horse when h'c is
frightened or nervous, or try to
force it up to the object that has
caused the alarm, but draw in on
the reins suddenly, speak out with
the assurance that you are not
afraid; then turn the animal a
little way from the unpleasant
sight and bid it go. A blow of
the whip upon the frightened ani
mal gives him double cause for
violent action.
Sore Throat
Is particularly favorable to the contrac
tion of Diphtheria. Heed the warning,
and use Darbys Prophylactic Fluid. It
at once allays the inflammation of the
throat, subdues the pain and gives per
manent relief. It promptly and effectu
ally destroys all contagion and diphthe
ritic germs. It is a safeguard against
Diphtheria, and should be used on tho
first symptoms of sore throat as a gargle.
The silly notion that it takes a
bushel of corn to fatten each inch
of a pig's tail has no place in the
minds of the breeder who consid
ers piggy's tail his pulse. The
tighter the curl the better the
health; when it begins to straight
en the pig begins to droop also.
Don't cut off the pig's tail.
Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria
When Baby was sick, ye gave her Castoria.
When she was a Chili' , she cried for Castoria,
iVhen she became Hiss, she clung to Castoria,
When she had Children, she gave them Castoril
The country is full of common
cattle, many of which are not a
source of profit to their owners.
The owner of a cow that is good
for nothing throws away just so
much food, care and labor He
who breeds such a cow to a bull
that is no better throws away his
opportunity for gam.
PABE.YTS CniMIiYAIXY LIABLE,

The Mural TTorW.belioves that
the farmer with 200 acres of land
should keep 50 sheep for utility's
sake alone. Such men can affoid
to estimate the value of sheep
from the standing point of meat,
fertility and the general advantage
to the farm, regardless of the price
of wool.

Tired feeling, dull headache, pains in
