The effect is a revulsion. Since the fatal days of 1883, many of the doctrines of the schoolmen concerning extensive medication have been abandoned, and all schools of practice are more and more relying upon old-fasbioned simple root and herb preparations and careful nursing, —the only reliances known to our an­ cestors. - These methods and reliances are il­ lustrated to-day in a series of old- fashioned koi and herbs prepara­ tions recently given to the world by the well-known proprietors of Warner's safe cure—preparations made from formula possessed by many of our oldest families, and rescued for pop­ ular use, and issued under the happy designation of Warner’s Log Cabin Remedies. “My son,” exclaimed a venerable woman to the writer when he was a boy. “my son, you’r yeller and pale and weak like lookin’, you’r needin’ a good shaking up with some sas’paril’.” A jug of spring sarsaparilla was just as necessary in the “winter supplies” of fifty years ago as was a barrel of pork, and a famous medical authority rays that the very general prevalence of the use of such a preparation as Log Cabin Sarsaparilla explains the rugged health of our ancestors. While Warnei’s Log Cabin 8arsa-' parilia is an excellent remedy for all seasons of the year, it is particularly valuable in the spring, when tlie sys­ tem is full of sluggish -blood and re­ quires a natural constitutional tonic and invigorator to resist colds and pneumonia, aud the effects of a long winter Philo M. Parsons, clerk of ijje City Hotel of Hartford, Conn., was prostrated with a cold which, he says, “seamed to settle through my body. I neglected it, and the result was my blood became impoverished and poisoned, indicated by inflamed eyes. I was treated but my eyes grew worse. I was obliged to wear a shade over them. I feared that I would be obliged to give up work.” “Under the operation of Warner’s Log Cabin Sarsaparilla and Liver Pills,” he says, “ The scire,and inflamed eyes disappeared. My blood, I know, is in a healthier condition than it has been fof years. I have a much better appetite. I shall take several more bottles for safety’s sake. Warner’s Log Cabin Sarsaparilla is a great blood purifier and I most heartily recom­ mend it.” A few bottles of Warner’s Log Cabin Sarsaparilla used in the family now will save many a week of sickness and many a dollar of bills. Use no other. This is the oldest, most' thor­ oughly tested, and the beet, is put up in the largest sarsaparilla Ixittle on lhe market, containing 120 doses. There is no other preparation of simi­ lar name that can < qual it. The name of its manufacturers is a guarantee ol its superior worth. While the great doctors wrangle over the technicalities Of an advanced med­ ical science that cannot cure disease, such simple preparations yearly snatch millions from untimely graves. i - ‘ —On a Governor street car yester- lay.
