1011 ALL UREASES INCIDENT TO
Horses, Cat tic and I lie Human Flesh,
requiring the use of an external application.
This new Compound, prepared by a prac
tical Chemist having a full knowledge of
all the medical virtues of each ingredient
that enters into its composition, is warran
ted to exceed anything of the, kind yet of
fered to the public as au external uppliea
lion for (lie diseases for which it is recom
mended. We are satisfied that it w ill work
its own road into the confidence of all who
use it, and those w ho try it onee w ill never
be without it, and therefore we rely on ex
perience as the best test of its usefulness.
It is pronounced by Farriers, an 1 all who
have tried it to be the best application ev
er used. This Embrocation lias been put
up for over eight years, and it is only
through the increasing demand and urpenl
request of iny friends and the Public that
1 send il forth as the grand remedial ngcut
for the various diseases to w hit h that noble
niul u-cfiil aniinal, the llOHHi, issubject.
Many remedies have been ollou-d to tho
l'ublie under dillerent forms, some of these
are injurious, others at best of little use,
and many wholly improper to answer the
purposes for which I hey are recommended.
A judicious and really useful composition
free from those objections, luis therefore
Uing been desired by many gentlemen who
.;ve valuable horses, and arc unwilling to
trust them t tho care of designing and
rctondiug Farriers. Their wishes arc at
lei.gth fully gratified, by Dr. llealo being
prevailed upon to allow thia valuable F.iu
lii H'ation (tfhieli has proved so clllcaciotls
to tho various diseases) to be prepared und
brought out to tiiu public.
This embrocation was extensively used
1 y the Ciovcrr.iuciit during the war.
