The discussion, to wiiish I -now invite your at.
tedbj Mr,a}jts LA &lovas, aim*, _
ilnoeg you for his devotion to agricuTtural
progress, and who had been accidentally induced to try
my Condiment, some of the ingredients of which he
had used for previous years. Having from domestic
affliction to give up farming for a time, he sold off the
bulk of his flock of sheep, retaining only a few favorites.
During his absence these animals got redueed to a very
low ebb—indeed, half-a-dozen of them died, some were
broken mouthed, and some lost their teeth. Though in
a fine piece of clover, they were a mere bag of bones,
and oilcake and corn had no good effect on them. He
tried my Condiment, as he tells you, and the reset
was that in three or four weeks he hardly knew them
again. After one hundred weight of Condiment, said
Mr. Browne, they went to grass, did remarkably well.
sod the Condiment seemed to have entirely renovated
the whole constitution of the animals.

Mr. HENRY Corrox, who also took part in this dis-
cussion, illustrated the value of my Condiment to
hoi sem, dogs, cows, and pigs. His mere had been quite
set up by it, and restored to hunting condition. For
his doe, 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
marked improvement in those that were treated with it
over those not thus fed. _

Major MUNN'S testimony is even more decisive. His
lambs, on his farm in the Isle of &happy, were terribly
afflicted with thread-like worms in the air vessels.
Their recovery was despaired M. 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, "be saved the whole lock."
This was in 1859. Again in October, 1869, he had 118
lambs thrown on his hands by the incoming tenant of
his farm, and not worth, in their then oondition, 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 he sold the remainder for from
. . . . .

forty-five to forty-six shillings a-head. He tells us that
he was equally succeoiful with his horses, and is
satisfied that, apart from every other cause, the recovery
of his sheep and lambs was due to the use of tie Condi-
ment

I may be permitted to add, that after this diminution,
the Major tried the effect of the Condiment on an
Alderney cow, under very special circumstances. 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
7ilbs. of butter per week on the usual dietof grass, mangold,
and turnips. On the 7th of April the Condiment was com-
menced, and the first week gave an increase of six on
of butter ; the second gave an increase of rather more
than a pound of batter; and the third week 9ilba of
butter. Such facts speak for themselves, and need no
explanation.
The MAJOIN testimony is equally deceive 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 speak with any patience—the reckless imitations
of the Condiment foisted on the former by the retail
dealers and hawkers, end with the failures and often
_ . . .

terrible effects of Which my invention is necessarily
saddled. Until the legislature provides • cheap and
speedy method by which fraudulent imitations and
equally fraudulent dealers in shams can be prosecuted
and prevented from imposing on the public, I feel I have
no remedy but in making it up in fogr-ounoe packets,
in blue paper with buff lables, and my signature engraved
thereon at one penny each ; or 448 packets, in an iron-
bound case, carriage paid to any railway stations in
the United Kingdom on receipt of Post-office Order for
345. I feel the difficulty of ensuring its purity in other
ways; and whilst I sincerely regret the numerous
deeeptions practised on you under cover of my name, I
must decline the responsibility of their evil results. I
have no quarrel with other makers of Condiment. I
only complain of those who foist on you an impure and
often destructive oomposition as uT Condiment and
neceisarily affect MY reputation by its deleterious result
at the acme time that they reclaim MY profits by the
sale of Tama lin posture.
You will notice that in the discussion the practical
value of my Cordiment as a restorer of animals out of
condition, and as a fatening food, is mainly proved. I
have, however, good reason to recommend it to you as a
preventive of infeztion 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
thin quality it is especially valuable to stock
farmers of the present day, when the system
of forcing nature, especially in the case of grasses
and green °rope, by the me of chemical manures,
has tended to increase the quantity of food at the oust of
its quality, and to render 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 • trial to favour me with
the results be they goon or bad, at there earliest
convenience. .

I remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
JOSEPH THORLEY.
