ted to exceed anything of the kind yet Of
fcred to the public as an external applica.
tion for the diseases for which it is recon-

1t is pronounced by Farriers, and all who
have tried it to be the best application ev-

through the increasing demand and urgent
request of my friends and the Public that

for the various diseases to which that noble

Many remedies have been offered to the
Public under different forms, some of these
are injurious, others at best of little use
and many wholly improper to answer tho
purposes for which they are recommended.
judicious and really useful composition
free from those objections, has therefore
long been desired by many gentlemen who
have valuable horses, and are unwilling to
trust them to the care of designing and
pret attending Farriers. Their wishes arc a

1t is the ONLY Cushion that possesses
all the qualities essential to a perfect Cush-
ion. If is the most elastic and most durable
Cushion ever offered TO the billiard playing
public, as is abundantly proven by the
great demand for 1t since its introduction.
The popularity which distinguishes the
CAT Cushion and renders it superior
to all others, is the frightened cord of cat
gut which Overlies the face and edge of the
rubber, aud running the full length of the
Cushion, which prevents the bali from bed
ding into the rubber and jumping from tho
table. The addition Of the cat-gut cord
also adds much TO the elasticity of the Cush
