To Horse Owners !

DIR. SWEETS INFALLIBLE LINTMENT
FOR HORSES is nnriyalled by any, and in
all cases of Lameness arising from Sprains,
Bruises or Wrenching, its effect is magical
and certain. Harness or Saddle Calls,
Scratches, Mango, &c, it will also cnre
speedily. SPAWN and Ringbone may be
easily prevented and cured in their incipient
stages, but confirmed cases are beyond the
possibility of RADICAL CURE. No case of the
kind, however, is so desperate or hopeless
but it may be alleyiated by this Liniment,
and its faithful application will always re-
move the Lameness, and enable the horses to
travel with comparative ease.
