PREVENTION
THE BEST SAFEGUARD

If for any cause the horse or other
domestic animal exhibits lack of energy,
proper relish for food, or an appearance
of general debility, timely action should
be taken for the restoration of its health.
In the natural food of our domestic
animals Nature provides certain peculiar
medicinal herbs, leaves, barks and roots
which seem necessary for their health.
Pacific Stock Food in greatly condensed
form is intended to supply the essential
virtues of those health-giving natural
remedies and is prepared expressly for
those animals deprived by man of their
natural food. It is an Alternative tonic
which stimulates the various organs of
the body, promotes the secretions, tones
up the general system and restores the
disordered conditions to a normal state.
1t stimulates the appetite, improves the
digestion and assimilation of food, purifes
the blood and insures good, healthy
condition. Booklet free.
