Thin new Compound, prepared by a prac tical Chemist having a full knowledge of all tho medical virtues of each ingredient that enters into its composition, is warran ted to exceed anything of the kind yet of fered to tho public as an external applicn tion for the diseases for which it is recom mended. Wo are satisfied that it will work its own road iuto tho 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 t lie best test of its usefulness, It is pronounced by Farriers, and all who uave 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 Publio that 1 send it forth as the grand remedial agent for the various diseases to which that noblo and useful animal, tho HORSE, is subject. Many remedies have been offered to tho Publio under different forms, some of these are injurious, others at best of littlo use, and many wholly improper to answer the purposes for which they arc recommended. A judicious and really useful composition free from those objections, has therefore long been desired by many gentlemen who have valuable horses, and arc unwilling to trust them to the caro of designing and pret tending Farriers. Their wishes are a length fully gratified, by Dr. llealo being prevailed upon to allow this valuable Em brocation (which has proved so efficacious to the various diseases) to be prepared and brought out to the public. This embrocation was extensively used by the Government during the war. Address all orders to DR. EDMOND BEALE, 602, South Second St., Phil'a.
