THORLEY'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 many a brain to explain how this has been
brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts
concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few (lays since,
a gentleman 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 vain. lie then bought some
of Thorley's food ; and be 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. Ar;•ain we find at the late surri-
cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which
carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor-
ley's food for cattle. Srch 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
prodezd alone from the good opinion and testimony of those
who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle
will do well to apply to 77. Newgrate-street, London, for a
pamphlet which is sent post-free.
