TOR ALL DISEASES INCIDENT TO
Il Horses, Cattle and the Human Flesh,
requiring the use ofan external application.
This new Compound, prepared by prac-
teal Chemist having 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 viii lnever
be without it, and therefore we rely on ex-
perience as the best test of its usefulness.
1t is pronounced by Farriers, and all who
have tried il 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,
ana many wholly improper to answer the
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 spnd
pretending Farriers Their wishes are at
length fully gratifed, by DR.. Beale being
prevailed upon to allow this valuable En-
brocation (Which has proved so etflcacious
to the various diseases) to be prepared and
brought out to the public.
This embrocation was extensively used
by the Government during the war.

completeness of operation, are qualities pc.
culiar to the
NOnpareil Washing Ma
chine.
1t is a squeezing machine constructed on
strictly mechanical principles, and the ex.
perience derived from five years extensive
use in fcmilies, hotels and public institutions
proves it to be Of lasting value to the pur
chaser
The manner Of operating the Nonpareil,
by rotary motion acting on a crank shaft
with balance wheel which moves the
plungers alternately, is the simplest, least
laborious and most powerful that can be de-
vised for the purpose, and accomplishes the
work with the greatest rapidity and the
least possible labor.
The great speed with which this machine
performs work will be understood from the
statement that II is geared to give six strokes
OF the plungers for one turn of the handle,
or, when worked leisurely, about four hun
dred strokes minute-Safety to the fabric
washed is insured by the entire absence of
rubbing.
4 girl or boy of fifteen can work the ma.
chine, and do a weeks washing for a family
of six or eight persons in two to three hours
time; and it may be relied on to cleanse the
clothing thoroughly, without assistance
from hand rubbing.

table. The addition of the cat-gut cord
also adds much to the elasticity of the Cush.
