HOG CHOLERA
The Problem of a Cure is
Now Solved.

DR.. J. H. Snoddy, of Alton, ILL.,.
has discovered a positive cure and
preventative for this terrible dis
ease. He has had it in use for ten
years and has saved millions of dol
lars worth of cholera hogs for the
public. The directions for its use
are simple and easy to follow. Any
practical farmer can stop the worst
outbreak of cholera that ever came
and save every hog that is able to
take the treatment.
This treatment is not an expense
to farmer, because it clears his
herd of every character of worm
and parasite and puts them in such
a thrifty condition that the extra
gain they will make from the effect
of this treatment will return the
farmer S. in this extra gain for
every dollars worth of the remedy
used properly and right.
1t is the greatest worm remedy
known to medical science. 1t pays
a farmer to keep his hogs clear of
worms with it. When the hog is
clear of worms and in good thrifty
condition it is rather a hard matter
to infect him with cholera without
directly exposing him to the germ.
1t pays to use the medicine wheth-
er there is any cholera around or
not.
This wonderful remedy is man
ufactured by the DR.. j. H. Snoddy
Remedy Co., Alton. H., and is for
sale byIPlanters Hardware Co., in
corporated, of Hopkinsville, and f.
w. Stegar & Dixon, at Nashville,
Ky. Anyone calling on either of
these firms can get DIR. Snoddy's
free book or hog cholera, free of
charge. Every farmer should have
lone.
