NOR ALL DISEASES INCIDENT TO
II Horses, Cattle and the Human Flesh,
requiring the use of an external application.
This new Compound, prepared by prac-
teal Chemist having a full knowledge of
all the medical virtues of each ingredient
that enters into its composition, is warran-
ted to exceed anything of the kind yet of
fered to the public as an external applica.
tion for the diseases for which it is recon-
mended. We are satisfied that it will work
its own road into the confidence of all who
use it, and those who try it once willnever
be without it, and therefore we rely on ex-
perience as the best test of its usefulness.
1t is pronounced by Farricrs, ana Sii who
have tried ii to be the best application ev-
er used, This Embrocaton has been put
up for over eight years, and it is only
through the increasing demand and urgent
request of my friends and the Public that
] send it forth as the grand remedial agent
for the various diseases to which that noble
and useful animal. the HORSE, is subject
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 the
purposes for which they are recommended
A 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
pretending Farriers. Their wishes are
length fully gratifed, by DR.. Beale being
prevailed upon to allow this valuable En-
brocation (Which has proved so efficacious
to the various diseases) to be prepared and
brought out to the public.
This embrocation was extensively used
by the Government during the war.

 REPARATOR CAPILLI.
 For restoring hair upon bald heads (from whatever cause it may have fallen out) and forcing growth of hair upon the face, it has no equal. It will force the beard te grow up- on the smoothest face in from five to eight weeks, or hair upon bald heads in from two 10 three months A few ignorant practitioners have asserted that there is nothing that will force or hasten the growth of the hair or beard. Their assertions ara false, as thousands of liv- ing witnesses (from their own experience) can bear witness. But many will say, how are we to distinguish the genuine from the spurious? 1t certainly is difficult, as nine-tenths of the different Preparations advertised for the hair and beard are entirely worthless, and you al- ready may have thrown away large amounts in their purchase. To such we would say, try the Reparator Capilli; it will cost you nothing unless 1t fully comes up to our representations. II your Druggist does not keep it, send us one dollar and we will forward it, postpaid to- gether with receipt for the money, which will be returned you on application. providing entire satisfaction is not given.

I very confidently and earnestly recommend Dr. J. ". Poland's Humor Doctor as an excel lent remedy for Humors, having been won- derfuly benefited by it myself. My own case was very severe and obstinate enc. For more than two years the skin upon the inside of both my hands, and even down on the wrist, was constantly cracked and broken up, so that I was unable to use my hands in any kind of wet work, and was obliged to wear gloves in sewing to avoid getting blood upon my work. The humor which so afflicted me was probably a combination of Erysipelas and Salt Rheum. My general health was quite poor. Soon after began to use the Humor Doctor could perceive signs Of healing. continued to take the medicine till was fl nally cured. My hands are now perfectly free from humors, and to all appearances my whole system is free from it, and has been for several months. 1 used eight bottles before I felt safe to give it entirely up, but they cured me.
