requiring the use of an external application.
This new Compound, prepared by a prac
tical Chemist having a full knowledge of
all tno medical virtues ot cacti ingredient
that enters into its composition, is warran
ted to exceed anything of tho kind yet of
fered to the public as an external applica
tion for the diseases for which it is recom
mended. Wo are satisfied that it w ill work
its own road into the confidence of all who
use it, and those who try it ouco will never
be without it, and therefore we rely on ex
perience as the best test of its usefulness.
It is pronounced by Farriers, and nil who
have tried it to bo the best application ev
er used. This Embrocation has been put
up for over eight years, and it is only
through the increasing demand and urgent
request of my friends and the Fublio that
I send it forth as the grand remedial agent
for tho various diseases to which that noble
and useful animal, the HORSE, is subject.
Many remedies have been offered to tho
Public under different forms, some of these
aro injurious, others at best of little use,
and many wholly improper to answer the
purposes for which they aro recommended.
A judicious and really useful composition
free from those objeciions, has therefore
long been desired by many gentlemen who
have valuable horses, and aro unwilling to
trust them to the care of designing and
prot lending Farriers. Their wishes aro a
length fully gratified, by Dr. Bealo being
prevailed upon to allow this valuable Em
brocation (which has proved so cdlcacious
to the various diseases-) to bo prepared and
brought out to the public.
This f-nil-vooation wau eilcusively used
by the Government during tho war.
