LOG CABIN GRANDMOTHERS. An Indian doctor has recently discovered in a common weed whose medicinal qualities have never before been suspect ed, a valuable remedy for the DOwel disorders Theie is nothing particularly strange about this fact. Nothing. And yet the verv simplicity of the new discovery would, with sotne, seem to throw just doubt upon its power. I make it one haa only to pour hot water over the leaves of the plant. In its preparation no vast chemical works and apoliances are required. Is it to be woudered at smce such plainly prepared remedies are accounted as of such great merit in these days, that such wonderful results attended our grandmothers, whose teas and infusions of roots and herbs and balsams, have exerted so great an influence in the maintenance of health and hfe? Certainly not! The greatest pieces of machinery strike us most by their exceeding simPlisity. The secret of the suceess of grandmother's remedies was their freshness and Bimplicity. Every autumu founc thelittleLogCabin abundantly supplied with f resh leaves, roots, herbs and bal sams, which were carefully dried and prepared and laid away for use. Dread ing to cali a doctor because of the ex pensiveness of nis far-made trips, they immediately gave atteution to the dis ease and routed it before it had gained a foothold. The old Log Cabin grandmother, in cap and high tucked gown, and perchance beapectacled in rough sllver, her weary feet encased in ''hum made" slips, is the dear sweet nurse who rises to the view of many a man an woman to-day as the early years of lif pass in retrospect. The secret of grand mother's medi eines were rapidly being forgotton and the world was not growing in the giace of good health. To restore the lost art of log cabin healing has been for years the desire of a well kuown philanthrop. ist in whose ancestral line were eight "goodly ph?'sicians''of the old style,men who never saw a medical college save in the woods, nor a "medical diploma" except that inscribed on the faces of healthy and long lived patients. Much time and mnney was expended íq securing the old formulae, w!ieh to-day are put foith as 'Log Cabin remedies," - Sarsaparilla, hops and buchu, cough and consumptiou, and severa! others, by Warner, whose name is famous and a standard for medical excellence all over the globe. These oldest, newest and best preparations have been recognized as of such superexcellence that to-day they can be found with all leading dealers. W hen Col. Ethau Allen was making history along our northern frontier duiing the revolution. Ooi. Seth Warner, the flghting Sheridan of thatarmy, who was a skillful natural doctor, used many such remedies, notably like the Log Cabin extract, earsaparilla and cough and consumption remedy, among the soldiers with famous success. They are & noble inhentance which we of to-day may enjoy to the f uil, as did our forefathers, and using, reap, i as did they, the harvest of a life full of I days and full ot usefulness.
