HORSE,
CATTLE,
HOGS and
SHEEP

Cannot produce the maximum
amount of flesh and wool at this
season of the year on dry feed
without laxative to regulate
the bowels-tonics to give tone
to the whole animal system
nitrates to aid in throwing off
the poisonous waste material.
DR.. Hess Stock Food contains
the above tonics, laxatives and
nitrates in just the proper pro-
portions.
If you will just stop and think,
there is nothing miraculous about
Pan-a-ce-a making hens lay. 1t
only does for hen what Stock
Food does for a steer or hog if
you please. 1t simply whets up
all of the machinery and then if
a little common sense is exer-
cised in feed and housing you
can depend that there is GER
tainty about results and few
people have found this out be-
cause there are twelve pounds of
Pan-a-ce-a fed every minute out
of the 365 days in the year, Sun
days included.
Pan-a-ce-a as an egg producer
has become an open secret. But
Stock, Sheep, Poultry
have to contend with their insect
pests.
Colts and calves are quite gen
orally lousy at this season of the
year.
Ticks are most prevalent on
sheep.
And housing and close quar-
tiers of poultry is conducive to
lice.
So Instant Louise Killer is real
ly twin sister to DR.. Hess Stock
Food and Poultry Pan-a-ce-a.
It's the modern way to destroy
sheep ticks because it can be APP
piled in zero weather when Mr..
Tick is at his best instead Of
waiting until late spring until
the weather becomes warm
enough to dip.
