EMBROCATION!
IOR ALL DISEASES INCIDENT TO
llnrnes, Cattle and tho 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 tho kind yet of
fered to tho public as nn external applica
tion for the diseases for which it is recom
mended. We are satisfied that it will work
its own rond into the confidence of all who
use it, and those who try it once will never
be without it, and therefore wo rely on ex
perience as the best tost of its usefulness.
It is pronounced by Farriers, and ill v.lio
have trie! it to be the best application ev
er used. This Embrocation has been put
up for over eight years, and it is only
through the inoreasing demand and urgent
request of my friends and the Public that
1 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
Public.undcr different forms, gome of theBe
arc injurious, others at best of little use,
and many wholly improper to answer the
purposes for which they are recommended.
A judicious and roally 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
pret tending Farriors. Their wishes are a
length fully gratified, by Dr. Bcale being
prevailed upon to nllow this valuable Em
brocation (which has proved so etllcacious
to the various diseases) to be prepared and
brought out to the public.
This embrocation was cxtensivoly used
by the Government during the war.

on Billiard Tables is the
CAT-GUT CUSHION,
Manufactured by Kavanagh & Decker, and
patented Deo 18, 1806. (See Scientific Am
erican, Tolumo 16, number 11.)
It is the ONLY Cushion that posscsscsf
all the qualities essential to a perfect Cush
ion. If U the most elastio and most durable
Cushion ever offered to the bi'.liard-playinf
public, as is abundantly proven by th
groat 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 ovorlics the face and edge of tlu
rubber, and running the full length of tht
Cushion, which prevents the ball from bed
ding into the rubber and jumping from tin
table. The addition of the cat-gut cord
also adds much to the elasticity of the Cush
ion. The CAT-GUT Cushion has already beo:i
applied to over 1000 tables which are i
constant use. It can be applied to tables
of any make, for $75 per set.
