The present agitation concerning the relations between Canada and the United States recalls the time when the annexation of that country was proposed to be brought about by force of arms. The project was entrusted to ihe brave General Montgomery, assisted by the famous patriots, Colonels Ethan Allen and Seth "Warner. While engaged in this invasión Ethan Allen was taken prisoner by the Britieh and sent to England, where he experienced very harsh treatraent. It was Colonel Warner who twice conducted his men safely home, though the march was constantly surrounded by dangers. Once Montgomery sent them home because their time was out, and though they were willing to continue in service, they were without sufficient clothing, and none could be had in that country. Colonel Warner had hardly arrived home before he heard that Montgomery had been killed, and the cause, as well as the lives of the men, were put in great jeopardy. He collected his men again and at once started for Canada to assist his countrymen in their extremity. But his efforts were of no avail, and it was soon found necessary to take up the line of retreat. It was the dead of winter, and only necessity sanctioned movingthe troops. The terror of pursuit and the rigor of the season furnished sufficient cause for alarm and haste. Colonel Warner remained with the rear of the army, and aided them in many ways most effectually, as he was a man well posted in caring for the sick and this knowledge now carne into excellent use. He must keep the army in motion, not a day must be lost, and yet he was without any chest of medicines. But he understood the medicinal use of roots and herbs, and of proper care at critical times, and with these allies, he made an effectual fight against disease amonghis men. When Ticonderoga was reached and the roll called, thanks to Seth Warner but few vacancies in the ranks appeared. Col. Warner saved the lives of hundreds of men in this way, and he did a noble work, but it remained for his namesake, H. H. Warner, head of Warner's Safe Cure establishment, to give the same kind of remedies then used to the people of to-day, in "Warner's LogCabin Remedies." These remedies have been adopted after thorough trial and investigación, and they are remedies of established reputation. Being wholly vegetable, they can be used without any fear as to the resulta. Among the new remedies is a Sarsaparilla for the blood, Hops and Bnchu for the stomach and digestión, Cough and Consumption Remedy, Scalpine for the head and hair, Rose Cream for that terrible disease, catarrh, a Log Cabin Liver Pili, a Log Cabin Piaster and an Extract for internal and externa! use. Our readers may rest assured that there is merit in every article.
