MEXICAN MUSTANG LINIMENT.

The parties in st. Louis and CT lcinnati who
have been counterfeiting the Mustang Liniment
under pretense Of proprietorship, have been
thoroughly estopped by the courts. To guard
against further imposition have obtained from
the United States Treasury private steel plate
revenue stamp, which is placed over the top of
each bottle. Each stamp bears the fac Si1site of
my signature, and without which the article is
a counterfeit, dangerous and worthless imita-
ton. Examineevery bottle. This Imminent has
been IN use and growing in favor for many years.
There hardly exists Il hamlet on the Abitable
globe that does not contain evidence OF its won.
derful effects. 1t is the best emolient in the
world. With its present improved ingredients,
its effects upon man and beast are perfectly re-
markable. Sores are healed, pains relieved, lives
saved, valuable animals made useful, and un-
told ills assuaged. For CUTS bruises, sprains,

New LABoR-SAvING MACHINERY
OF new inventions there is no end but
one of the best and most useful of newly
patented articles is self-raker invented
by M. G. Kilgore, of Washington, in
this State, and patented Nov. Sth, 1864.
We saw model in operation yesterday,
and We're highly pleased with it. The
self-raker can be attached to any reaper
which cuts behind. Mr.. X. had one at
work last harvest on the Ball reaper, and
it accomplished all he claims for the in
vention. Its peculiar advantage is in
raking the grain up smoothly and even
~, however much it may be tangled
when cut and in depositing it in piles
sufficiently large for six sheaves. The
machine will work SO as to deposit the
same quantity near the same spot at its
next round, thus giving the binder
sufficient quantity for a shock in each
spot. The inventor claims that the self
raker will save the labor of two hands
in the harvest-field.
Messrs Perry Il Hatch, of this city,
have the exclusive right for selling the
self-raker in Iowa. They are also man
ufacturing and selling the celebrated
Cass pillow, which took the premium over
q others as a combined cultivator for
riding or walking. They have recently
made some improvements on this ma
chine, and offer it as the best thing of
the kind now in use.
