EMBROCATION!
TOR ALL DISEASES INCIDENT TO
J" Horses, Cattle and tho Human Flesh,
requiring the uso iff an external application.
Tiiis new Compound, prepared b- a prac

nil the me. ileal virtues of each ingredient
that enters into its compos ition, is warran
ted to exceed nnvlhins of tho kind yet of
fered to the public as an external applica

mended. We are satisfied that it will work
its own road into the confidence of all who
uso it, and thoso who try it once will never
be without it, and thcrclore wo rely on cs
perienco ns 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, and it is only
through tho increasing demand and urgent
rofiuost of nn- friends and tho Public that
send it forth ns the grand remedial agent
for tho various diseases to w hich that noble
ami useful animal-, the HORSE, is subject
Many remedies have been offered to the
Public.under dilVcient forms, some of these
are injurious, otiiers at Dest ot mile use,
and many wholly improper to answer the
purposes lor wliicu tney are recommended
A judicious nnd really useful composition
free from thoso objections, has therefore
long been desired by many gentlemen who
have valuablo horses, nnd nro unwilling to
trust them to the care of designing and
pret tending Farriers. Their wishes are a
length fully gratified, by Dr. Bealo being
prevailed upon to allow this valuable F.ui
broeation (which has proved so elllencious
to tho various diseases) to be prepared and
brought out to t tie public.
This cinbroc.ition was extensively used
by tlio Government during the war.
