Log Cabin Logic.
Brawn and Brain! The powerful engine, with its wonderful propelling power, coupled to the long train full freighted with the richest fabrics of the intelluctuol looms of the centuries—what obstacles caa stay the progress of this mighty force, when once under full steam along life’s highway? The American with brawn and brain does not see the necessity for titles of nobility, does not care for elevation by descent, he can reach out and pluck the stars. But with brawn or brain impaired, a man is badly handicapped in the mad race for success, which is the marked characteristic of the present age. The physical system is a most intricate piece of machinery. It ought to be kept well regulated, so that it will work harmoniously in all its parts, then it is capable of an immense amount of work. It is said that a watch, if expected to keep perfect time, must be wound daily. It will not keep good time unless it “runs regular.” More men break down because they don’t “run regular" than for any other reason. It is claimed by physicians that few men are killed by hard work. It is to the irregularities of modern social life that the high death rate is due. Men burn their candle at both ends, then wonder why it burns out so quickly. The main thing in keeping the human machine in good working oruer is to keep the regulator all right. “The blood is the life,” and sound health is assured so long as the blood Hows through the veins a limpid stream of purity. Regulate the regulator with Warner’s Log Cabin sarsaparilla, the old-fashioned blood purifier, prepared after the best formula in use by our ancestors in good old Log Cabin days, and with the vigor of brawn and bruin which must ensue, in your life’s lexicon you will find no such Avord as fail.
