WHERE LOG CABINS FLOURISH.

A party of American gentlemen, who trad been camping out on an island in the great Lake Nipissing, Canada, last summer, were returning in a sail-boat when the sun went <}own, and with it the sailing breeze. A discouraging situation, truly. “Never mind, I can. row you there inside of two hours/’ said the guide who had charge of the party, as their murmurs arose. ~ "Why, man, it is seven miles, there are four of us in this heavy boat —its a big job you undertake,” said one., “No matter, I have dohe the like before and can do it again,” cheerfully replied the broad-shouldered Irishman, as he stowed away the sail and bent to the oars. He was a splendid oarsman and the boat was soon under headway again. “What would I not give to enjoy your health and strength,” remarked the Professor. “Yes, I am pretty healthy, and though I am past sixty I feel as strong as replied the guide. “But only three years ago I stood at death’s door, and never thought to pull an oar again. You see, I was in the woods all winter, logging, and I got into the water one day and caught cold. It settled on my lungs and I had a bad cough which hung on till I ran dowh almost to a skeleton.” “Call in a physician?” “Yes, I went twenty miles through the bush to sefe a doctor: he gave me some medicine, but it didn’t help me much.” “How was the cure effected?” “An old Scotch lady, who had come over from the States, gave me a preparation of balsams and herbs, which she said the early settlers in America used, and it soon stopped my cough and put me on my feet again.” One has but to travel along the frontier to learn how easy it is to get along without doctors, and how effective are the natural remedies which the old grandmothers know how to prepare. They often cure where the best physicians fail. Every mother of a family knows how coughs and colds are quickly and radically cured’ with syrups and teas made from balsams and herbs which ‘.'grandmother taught us how to make.” Warner’s Log Cabin cough and consumption remedy was, after long investigation into the merits and" comparison with other old time preparations, selected from them because it proved to be the very best of them all. It has brought back the roses to many a pallid, cheek —there is no known remedy its equal as a cure for coughs and colds.
