surprising to every one who saw the Horse, to SEQ
how much he had improved in flesh and spirit
Those vino had seen him before he became sick.

also recommend the Powder MS being IL fine thing
for the urine and also to improve the coat AS il
gives ii II fine silky appearance. My friends see
ing the adv anuge Of it have commenced using it
.niolg their Cattle. No person should be without
it IN their stables. l have seen it fully tested.
