TANG LlSSIBHT made its entree in Missouri, without
any flourish Of trumpets, and within one year, be-
came the tavorite emhrocation for the external dis
tempers and injuries of horses and cattle in all the
Western and Southern States. From that time to
this it has never had rival in the estimation OF
Oomplished hOrsemen; nor it its household reputa-
tion as a cure for rheumatism, neuralgia, sore nip
pies and caked breasts, tumors, mumps sore throat
earache, toothache, bruises, burns, wounds, and
spratns, whit behind its celebrity as horse Lint
