To Owners of Horses,

Thousands Of horses die yearly from collie.
This need not be. Dr. Tobias Venetian
Horse Linlment will positively cure every case
If given when first taken. The cost is only
one dollar. Every owner of Il horse should
have bottle IN his stable, ready for use. 1t
is warranted superior to anything tlse for the
cure Of Cuts, Wind Calls, Swellngs, Sore
Throat, Sprains, Bruises, Old Sores, etc. This
Liriment is no new remedy, 1t has been
used and approved Of for 20 years by the first
horsemen in the country. Given to an over
driven horse, it acts like magic. Orders are
constantly received from the racing stables oi
England for it. The celebrated Hiram Wood
ruff, oftrotting fame, used it for year and
said it is far superior to any other he has
tried. Recollect, DR.. Tobias Venetian Horse
Lniment is put up in pint bottles, Take no
other. Sold by the Druggists and saddlers

DIR. schenck's Pulmonic Syrup.

This great medicine cured Or. j. II
Schench, the proprietor, of Pulmonary Con-
sumption, when 1t had assumed its most for
midable aspect and when speedy death APP
peared to be inevitable. His physicians pro-
nouuced his case incurable, when he com
menced the use Of this simple but powerful
remedy. Hts health was restored in very
short time, aud no return of the disease has
been apprehended, for all the symptoms quick
ly disappeared, and his present weight is
more than two hundred.
Since his recovery he has devoted his atten-
~tion exclusively to the cure of consumption,
and the diseases which are complicated with
1t, and the cures effected by his medicine s
have been very numerous, and truly wonder
full. Or. Schenck makes professional visits
to several of the large cities weekly, where
he has large concouSse of patients, and il is
trul lyRstonshing to see poor consumptves
that have to be lifted out of fheir carriages
and in a few months healthy, robust persons
DIR. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Seaweed Ton.
ic and Mandrake Pills are generally all re-
quired in curing Consumption. Full drec-
tions accompany each, so that any one can
take them without seeing DIR. Schenck, but
when 1t is convenient it is best to see him.
He gives advice Hee. but for thorough ex-
animation with his Respirometer his fee Is
three dollars.
Please observe, when purchasing, that the
two likenesses of the DoctdA,-one when in
the last stage of Consumption aAd the other
as he now is, in perfect health-are on the
