EOR ALL DISEASES INCIDENT TO
Il Horses, Cattle and the Human Flesh,
requiring the use ofnn external application.
This new Compound, prepared by prac-
teal Chemist having II 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
fcred 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 will never
be without it, and therefore we rely on eX-
pcrieucc as the best test Of its usefulness.
1t is pronounced by Farriers, and all who
have tried it to be the best application ev-
cr used This Embrocation has been put
up for over eight years, and it is only
through the increasing demand aud urgent
request Of my friends and the Public that
! send it forth as the grand remedial agent
for the various diseases 10 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 Mt best of little use,
and many wholly improper to answer the
purposes for which they are recommended.
\ iudicious and really useful composition
free from those objections, has therefore
long been desired by many gentlemen who
have valuable horses. and arc unwilling to
trust them to the care of designing and
pretending Farriers. Their wishes are a
length fully gratifed, by DR.. Bcale being
prevailed upon to allow this valuable Elm
brocation (which has proved SO cillcacious
to the various diseascs) to be prepared and
brought out to the public.
This embrocat:en was extensively used
by thc Government during the war.
