TO FARMERS AND COWKEEPERS.

GENTLEMEN,-1 invite you to peruse the
re, ort of the discussion, on Cottle Condiment at
the meeting of the Royal Agricultural, Sticieby of
England, held in Hann- tir square !mime, believing that
the facts theiLlsrmight to light by gentlemen of repute-
dye and position as farmers, and entirely unconnected
I.h ins or my works, will convince yol that the value
I attach to my discovery is by no means exaggerated.
The discussion, to which I now invite your attention,
was originated by Mr. BEALE BROWNZ, a gentlemen
well.known among you for his devotion to agricultural
progreqi, and who had been aecidentally induced to try
my Condiment, some of the ingredients of which he
had noel for previous year& Having from don&etilid
affliction to give up farming for a titils; bh sold off the
bulk of Ilia fleck of alleetr, retsining only a few favourite&
pitting his absence these enirnale got reduced to a very
Inv, ebb—indeed, half.a.doxen of them died, some were
broken mouthed, and some lust their teeth. Though in
a fine piece of *lover, they were a mere beg of bone,',
and °Beaks and corn had no good effect on them. H.
tried my Condiment, as he tells you, and the result
was that in three or four weeks he hardly knew them
again. After one hundred weight of Condiment, said
Mr. Browne, they went to gnus, did remarbably well;
and the Condiment seemed to hate entliely renovated
the whole oonstittitioH of the animals.
Mr Hkekr Carrot+, who also took part in this die'
cliaiiion' illustrated the value of my Condiment to
horses, dogs. cows, and pigs. His mare had been quite
set up by it, and restored to hunting condition. For
his dog, he found nothing better after a day's work in
the stubble or turnips. With his cows it improved the
flesh and the milk: and, with his pigs, he found a
marked improvement in those that were treated With it
over those not thus fed:

Sentet, and now bears his testimony to the results. In
hill bars own words, "he saved the -hole lock."
This was in 1859. Again in October, 1860, he had 118
lambs thrown on his hands by the incoming tenant of
his farm, and not worth, in their then condition, more
than from six to ten shillings a-head. He tried my
Condiment again, and the result was, that he lost only
five of the 118, and be fold the remainder for from
forty-five to forty-six ehillinge a-head e tells us that
he was equally eticce-efol with his hates, and Is
satisfiet that, spirt froth livery other cause, the recovery
of hi % 8 eeti and lambs was due to the use of the Condi-
meet.
I may be permitted to add, that after this discussion,
the Major tried the effect of the condiment on an
Alderney cow, under very special eircnnistance. Her
third calf was calved on the 23:d of February, and
weaned on the 2nd of March, and from then to the if th
of April she continued to give cream enough to Mate

explanation.
The MaiOe's testimony is equally decieive as to the
effect of the Condiment on horses and dogs. He is also
very plain spoken on a poiet on which it is difficult for
me to speak with any patience—the reckless imitation*
of the Condiment foisted oti the former by the retail
