EMUllOCATION!
17011 ALL DISEASES INCIDENT TO
Horses, Cattle and the Human Flesh,
requiring the use of an external application.
This new Compound, prepared by a prac
tical Chemist having a full knowledge of
nil the medical virtues of each ingredient
that, enters into its composition, is warran
ted to exceed anything of the kind 3'ct of
fered to the public as an external applica
tion for the diseases fur which it is recom
mended. We are satisfied that it will work
its own road into the confidence of nil who
use it, and those who try it once w ill never
bo w ithout it, and therefore we rely on ex
perience us the best test of its usefulness.
It is pronounced by Farriers, and all who
have tried it to be the best application ev
er used. This Embrocation has been put
up for over eight years, 1111 1 it is only
through tho increasing demand mid urgent
request of my friends an 1 tlio Public that
tend it forth as the grand remedial agent
for tho various discuses to which that noble
and useful animal, the HOUSK, issuhject.
Many remedies have been ottered to the
Public under dilferent forms, some of these
lire injurious, others ut best of little use,
and many wholly improper to answer the
purpof.es for w hich t hoy are recommended.
A judicious and really useful composition
f'roc from those objections, has therefore
long been desired by many gentleman who
have valuable Lorries, and are unwilling to
trust them to the earn of designing and
pretending Farriers. Their wishes lire at
length fully gratified, by Dr. l.palo being
. prevailed upon to allow this valuable H111
biocation (which lias proved so ctllcacious
to the variouK diseases) to bo prepared and
brought out to the public-.
This embrocation was extensively used
by tho Government during the war.

LARGE CAPACITY, CHEAT Stregnth
and unequalled speed, simplicity and
completeness of operation, nre qualities pe.
ciilinr to the
Nonpareil Washing Ma
chine. It is a squeezing machine constructed on
strictly mechanical principlos, and the ex
perience derived from five years extensive
use in femilies, hotels and public institutions
proves it to be of lasting value to the pur
chaser
The manner of operating the Nonpareil,
by rotary motion acting on a crank shaft
-Ith balance wheel,) which moves the
plungers alternately, is the simplest, least
laborious nnd most powerful that, can be de
vised for the purpose, nnd accomplishes tho
work with the greatest rapidity and the
least possible labor.
The great speed with which this machine
performs work will be understood from the
statement that it is geared to give six strokes
of the plungers for one turn of the handle,
or, when worked leisurely, about four hun
dred strokes a minute Safety to the fabric
washed is insured by the entire absence of
rubbing.
A girl or boy of fifteen can work the ma.
chine, and do ft week's washing for a family
of six or eight persons in two to three hours'
time; nnd it may be relied on to cleanse the
clothing; thoroughly, without assistance
from hand rubbing.
