A HUNDRED YEARS A HERO!

How Seth Warner Won a Wife and Became Famous. Colonel Seth Warner, of Vermont, the famous hero of the Revolutionary war, waa a leading lighter for th.- Hampshire grama. These titles were disputed by the btate of New York, and its authorities obtained an edict of the lung of England in their favor. The settlers were stung by the supposed injust.ee. This state of things brought Colonel Seth Warner to the front With Et tan Aden and others he actively opposed every effort of the New York State authorities to enforce possession, and finally he, with Allen and others, were outlawed and a price put on their heads! To circumvent New York, it was necessary that some one should go into that State and gain required information. Colonel Warner, assuming for safety the name of “Dr. Howard,” undertook this perilous and romantic journey. While on his way home he stopped at a country inu, where an old gentleman and daughter were storm-bound. The father fell ill and the daughter called upon Colonel Warner, who, w-m his wide knowledge of simple remedies, successfully treated the “olu man,” and he finally won this devoted woman for a wife. Such incidents were not uncommon in those years. When the doctor was not easily reached, months of sickness, and even Ide were often saved by seme unprofessional friend versed in the use of simple herbs and roots. The health of early settlers and their powers of endurance convince us that such medicines did only good and left no poison in the blood to worn as much injury to the system as would the disease itseif. " . . In time of peace the colonel was in constant demand for his knowledge of simple remedies and their power over disease. But it was left to another of his name of the present age to give to the pub.ic what was then used with such positive success. Warner for over a hundred years has shared with Ethan Alien the admiration of the American people. Colonel Seth Warner belongs to a family of wide distinction; no less than eight members thereof won fame in the regular practice of medicine. Looking to the adoption by the people of this generation of the old time simple remedies, his direct descendant, H. H. Warner, the well-known proprietor of Warner’s safe cure, for many years has been experimenting with old time roots and herbs formulae, and, his search having been finally rewarded with success, he gives the world the result These recipes and formulae in other days accomplished great things because they were purely vegetable and combined simply so as to cure the disease indicated, without "injury to the system. In harmony with their old time character, we learn that he proposes to call them Warner’s Log Cabin Remedies, using as a trade-mark an old-fasliioned American log cabin. We understand that he intends to put forth a “Sarsaparilla” for the blood, the sarsaparilla itself being but one of a number of simple and effective elements; “Log Cabin Hops and Buchu,” a general stomach tonic ana invigorator; “Log Cabin Cough and Consumption Remedy,” “ Warner’s Log Cabin Seal pine,” for the hair; a preparation for that universal disease, catarrh, called “Log Cabin Rose Cream;” “Warner’s Log Cabin Plasters;” and “Warner’s Log Cabin Liver Pills,” which are to be used in connection with the other remedies, or independently, as .required. Warner’s safe remedies are already standards of the most pronounced scientific value in all parts of the world, and we have no . doubt the Log Cabin Remedies, for the diseases they are intended to cure, will be of equal merit, for Mi-. Warner has th© reputation of connecting his name with no preparation that is not meritorious.
