rnilE MOST RELIABLE CUSHION used
I on Billiard Tables is the
CAT-GUT CUSHION,
Manufactured by Kavanagh & Decker, and
patented Deo 18, 1 Still. (Hee SnicntiPo Am
crinan, volume H, number 11.)
It is tho ONLY Cushion that possesses!
all the qtiulitius essential ton perfect Cush
ion. If is tho most elastic and most durable
Cushion over offorodto the bi'.liard-playin
public, as is abundantly proven by tht
great demand for it since its introduction
The peculiarity which distinguishes tin
CAT GUT Cushion and renders it. superioi
to all others, is the tightened cord of cat
gut which overlies tho face and edge of tht
rubber, and running the full length of the
Cushion, which prevents the ball from bed
ding into the rubber and jumping from th
table. The addition of the cat-gut cord
also adds much to the elasticity of the Cush
ion. The CAT-GUT Cushion has already been
applied to over 1000 tables which are is
constant use. It can be applied to tables
of any make, for $76 per set..

EMBROCATION!
FOR 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
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 publie as an external applica
tion for the diseases for which it is recom
mended. We are satisfied that it will work
its own road into the confidence of all who
use it, and those who try it once 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 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
request of my friends and the Public that
I send it forth as the grand remedial agent
for the various diseases to which that noble
and useful animal, the HORSE, is subject.
Many remedies have been offered to the
Publicunder different forms, some of these
are injurious, others at best of little use,
and many wholly improper to answer the
purposes for which they are recommended.
A judioious and really useful composition
free from those objections, has therefore
long been desired by many gentlemen who
have valuable horses, and are unwilling to
trust them to the care of designing and
prettending Farriers. Their wishes are a
length fully gratified, by Dr. Beale being
prevailed upon to allow this valuable Em
brocation (which has proved so efficacious
to the various diseases) to be prepared and
nrougni out to tne public.
This embrocation was extensively used
by the Government during the war.
