COME TO A LIVESTOCK HEALTH
AND NITRATE WATER MEETING
by a specialist from Indiana
MONDAY. MARCH 19, 1984 at 7:30 p.m.
at Leola Family Restaurant, 4 miles east of Lancaster on Rt. 23
(north side). Tell friends and neighbors who have livestock health and
water problems.
Our N.E.M.A. Vitamin C (by National Environmental Marketing
Associates, Inc.) fresh in water is just what your livestock and poultry
needs for health because Vit. C oxidizes in feed (loses value). We have
excellent testimonies on livestock and poultry, lb. more broilers, laying
flocks resistent to flu, etc. People respond to Vit. C. Why shouldn’t
livestock?
Our N.E.M.A. Vit. C has a double purpose. In addition to supplying the
much needed and lacking nutrition (Vit. C) it also takes the nitrate out of
water. What a discovery! Come to the meeting and hear the specialist, and
bring your nitrate questions.
A higher and pure power (the Creator) helps our customers get larger
and more nutritious crops than their neighbors at less cost by nitrogen
fixation out of the air, and earthworm castings (almost unbelievable
amount). And their holes bored in the soil and subsoil hold moisture like a
sponge from the spring rains unto the summer drought. It makes sense and
dollars. Our customers prove that natural fertilizer is superior to man’s
modem methods. Two had 27% protein haylage, two had 22% to 23%
protein hay, a 40 lb. watermelon, 9.9 lb. cantaloupe, they grow good,
healthy cantaloupes by the acre without chemical sprays. And they don’t
pollute their fellow men’s water. Are you a Bible believer or not. They
report their livestock are so healthy and take less feed per pound of meat.
Not needing to spray their hay helps animal health too, as well as your
bank account. You don’t need a computer your 6 yr. old boy can tell
which pays best. Literature on all products gladly sent. Ask for pictures of
crops raised in the 1983 drought.
NATURAL MASTITIS TREATMENTS Resistance through missing
elements Excellent proof. Many repeat orders. 200 tables, 18.95. For
stubbor cases add $29.95 or $13.95 all three work together Many written
testimonials, quantity discounts.
Hot new livestock health product. Demand will automatically get big
