EMBltOCATIONI
TOR ALL DISEASES INCIDENT TO
I" Horses, Cattle and the Human Flesh,
requiring theu.se of an external application.
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.
