.rrHORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.-
It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious
'article of animal diet first made its appearance; and already
Its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder,
'and has puzzled ninny a brain to explain how this has been
brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few nets
concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since,
`a genVenian wrote, stating that he had a horse' which was a
" perfect bag of bones." lie tried all kinds of things to get
the animal into condition, but in rain. He then bought some
-of Thorley's food ; and he says the effect was wonderful. The
horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had
gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri-
cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which
varried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor-
ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we
are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely
'from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can
,proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those
who bare tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle
'ill do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a
pamphlet which is sent post-free.
