Mr. HENRY COTTON, who also took part in this dis-
cussion' 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 dos, 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, be found
marked improvement in those that were treated with it
over those not thus fed.

Major MONN's testimony is even more decisive. His
lambs, on his farm in the Isle of Sheppy, were terribly
afflicted with thread-like worms in the sir vessels.
Their recovery was despaired of. His bailiff proposed
trying my Condiment. The Major, in despair, con-
sented, and now bears his testimony to the results. In
his bailiff's own words, ", he saved the whole flock."
This was in 1859. Again in October, 1860, be 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.hevel, He tried my
Condiment again, and the remit was, that he lord only
five of the 118, and be sold the remainder for from
forty-five to forty-six shillings a-head. He tells us that
he was equally successful with his horse', and is
satisfied that, apart from every other cause, the reoovery
of his sheep and lambs was due to the use of the Condi-
ment.
I may be permitted to add, that after this .discussion,
the Major tied the effect of the condiment on an
Alderney cow, under very special circumstance. Her
third calf was calved on the 23rd of February, and
weaned on the 2nd of March, and from then to the 7th
of April she continued to give cream enough to make
7 Abs. of butter per week on the usual d iet of graas,mangold,
and turnips. On the 7th of April the condiment was oom-
menced, and the first week gave an increase of six oz.
of butter; the second gave an increase of rather more
than a pound of butter; and the third week 9ilbs of
butter. Such facts speak for themselves, and need no
explanation.
The hia.roit's testimony is equary decisive as to the
effect of the Condiment on horses and dogs. He is also
very plain spoken on a point on which it is difficult for
me to /Teak with any patience—the reckless imitations
of the Condiment foisted on the former by the retail
dealers and hawkers, and with the failures and
often terrible effects of which my invention is
necessarily saddled. Until the legislature provides '
a cheap and speedy method by which fraudulent imita-
tions and equally fraudulent dealers in shams can
...pa prosecuted and prevented from imposing on the
public, I feel I have no remedy but in making it up in
four-onfice packet', in blue paper with buff tables, and
my signature engraved thereon, at one penny each; or
448 packets, in an iron-bound cm*, carriage paid to any
railway station in the United Kingdom, on receipt of
Post-office Order for 345. I feel the difficulty of ensur-
ing its pruity in other ways; and whilst I sincerely
regret the numerous deceptions practised on you under
cover ef my name, I must decline the responsibility of
their evil results. I have no quarrel with other makers
of Condiment. I only oomplain of those who foist on
you an impure and often destructive composition as MY
Condiment, and necessarily affect MY reputation by its
deleterious remits, at the same time that they reduce
My profits by the sale of THUS imposture.
, You will notice that in the discus.ion the practical
value of my Condiment as a restorer of animals out of
condition, and as a fattening foodo is mainly proved. I
have, however, good reason to recommend it to you as •
preventive of infection and an antidote to disease—
keeping the stomach and digestive organs in a natural
healthy tone, and thus fortifying the animal against the
insidious inroads of disease. From this quality it is espe-
cially valuable to stook farmers of the present day, when
the system of forcing nature, especially in the ease of
and green mope, by the use of chemical manures,
fraasss tended to increase the quantity of food at the cost
of its quality, and terender it not only far less nutritive,
but in many cases deleterious to the animal.
With these few remarks, I again invite your careful
perusal of the discussion, and have to request all those
who may be tempted to make a trial to favour me with
the results, be they good or bad, at their earliest conve-
nience.
I remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
JOdEPIi THORLEY.
