Dear Sir. STounnainoE, 24th Sept. 1874.
I have used your Cough and Condition Balls for the last eight or nine years, and I never found anything to equal
them. My horses are always healthy and workable. I can confidently recommend them to any one keeping
horses. Yours faithfully, RICHD. DE ELEY.
From HENRY WELLS, Esq., Auctioneer and Estate Agent, Master of the Fox Hounds, White House, Occold,
Eye.—" I have used your Cough and Condition Balls rather extensively the Isst year, and have been perfectly
satisfied with the results."

SAMUEL Monsanuty, Jun.. Esq.,-Coalbourn Cottage, Stnurbridge, writes, Oct. 2nd, 1874.—" Having used your
Cough and Condition Balls for several years, I cannotjaay too much in their favour; and consider them superior to
any I have hitherto used."
From Mr. JOHN FOBERT, Trainer ad Proprietor of Horses, Spigot Lodge, Middlebam, Yorkshire.—" I have much
pleasure in testifying to the efficacy of Gostling's Conditions Balls for Horses. I have used them for some time,
and highly approve of them, and consider them as good or superior to any 1 have hitherto used."

the purposes for which you recOmmend them, but I consider tht m especially vsluable for cases of loss of appetite,
and the slight disorders to which high-fed Cattle, as well as Cows and Borhts, are frequently subject. They cer-
tainly meet a great want, and are calculated to prevent what has often been no better than throwing away good food.
