YEAS AND NEIGHs.-If horses could make
themselves understood in human language,
they would signify by a universal "Yea,"
their assent to the statement that the Mus.
TANG EMINENT is the best remedy extant
for all these external ailments, and by
most emphbtic "Neigh !" show their dis
pleasure at every attempt to use any other
preparation in its stead. Ever since its in
PRODUCTION at st. Louis, at the close Of tn
Mexican War, in ls4s, it has proved signal
blessing to horse and man-curing, with abb
solute certainty and wonderful dispatch,
such equine diseases as SPAWN, ringbone,
poll evil, scratches, hoofale, &C., and reliev-
ing and finally removing the painful affec-
lions which attack the muscles and external
glands of human beings. 1t is a fact beyond
contradiction that for all injuries or COM
plants of man or quadrupeds to which an
external remedy is applicable, the MUSTANG
LiNIMENT is preferable to every other.
