Before it is Born.

October 18, 1888

Some startling statements of general interest.

Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, on being asked when the training of a child should begin replied, “A hundred years before it is born.”

Are we to infer from this that this generation is responsible for the condition of the race a hundred years from now? Is this wonderful generation the natural result of the proper diet and medicines of a hundred years ago?

It is conceded in other lands that most of the wonderful discoveries of the world in this century have come from this country. Our ancestors were reared in log cabins and suffered hardships and trials.

But they lived and enjoyed health to a ripre old age. The women of those days would endure hardships without apparent fatigue that would startle those of the present age.

Why was it?

One of the proprietors of the popular remedy known as Warner’s sale care, has been faithfully investigating the cause, and has called to his aid scientists as well as medical men, impressing upon them the fact that there are cannot be an effect without a cause. This invention disclosed the fact that in the old in times simple remedies were administered, compounded of herbs and roots, which were gathered and sored in the toils of the log cabins, and when sickness came on these remedies from nature’s laboratory were used with the best effects.

What were these remedies? That were they used for? Alter inuring and diligent search they have obtained the formulas so generally used for various disorders.

Now the question is, how will the olden time preparations affect the people of this country, who have been treated, under modern medical schoos and codes, with poisonous and injurious drugs. This test has been carefully pursued, until they are convinced that the preparations they now call Warner’s Log Cabin remedies are what our much abused systems require.

Among them is what is known as Warner’s Log Cabin sarsaparilla, and they frankly announce that they do not consider the sarsaparilla of so much value in itself as it is in the combination of the various ingredients which together work marvelously upon the system. They also have preparation for other diseases, such as “Warner’s Log Cabin cough and consumption remedy.” “Log Cabin hops and bacon remedy,” “Warner’s Log Cabin hair tonic.” They have a cure for common disease of catarrh, which they give the name of Log Cabin rose cream.” Also a “Log Cabin plaster,” which they are confident will supplant all others, and a liver pill, to be used separately or in connection with the other remedies.

We hope that the public will not be disappointed in these remedies that will reap a benefit from the investigations, and that the proprietors will not be embarrassed in their introduction by dealers trying to substitute remedies that have been so familiar to the shelves of our druggists. This line of remedies will be used instead of others Insist upon your druggist getting them for you that hasn’t them in stock, and we feel confident that these new remedies will receive approbation at our readers hands, as the founders have used every care in their preparation.
