Honest Medicines Versus Fakes

President Taft's recent message sug-
gestlng an amendment to the Pure
Food and Drugs law in it's relation to
Prepared Medicines, does not refer to
such standard mepicines as Foley's
Honey and Tar COMPOUND, and Foley
Kidney Pills, both of which are true
medicines carefully compounded of in
gradients whose medicinal qualities are
recognized by the medical profession
itself as the best known remedial
agents for the diseases they are in
tended to counterfeit. For over three
decades Foley's Honey and Tar Com
pound has been a standard remedy Tor
coughs, colds and affections of the
throat, chest and lungs for children
and for grown persons, and it retains
today it's pre-eminence above all other
preparations of its kind. Foley Kid
ney Pills are equally effective and mer-
itorious. W. G. Atwell.

The FOAL'S FEET
need ATTENTION.
An important Matter That Is
Often Neglected.

Many foals during the first months
badly, partly from nature and partly
from lack of proper exercise on hard
ground Frequently the foal is COM
PEELED to remain in the stalls during
the early sucking period, and this will
almost always bring on abnOrmally
developed feet. Lack of exercise on
hard ground will allow the feet to
grow faster than they wear off, hence
the enlargement. Also, whether the
foal has exercise or not during the
very young stage, often the feet will
be more or less irregular.
The fOal's feet should be examined
and trimmed frequently during the
first six or eight months of it's life,
and they should receive regular at
tentiOn till the fOal becomes a full
grown work horse After the first
few trials the young foal will allow
its feet to be examined and trimmed
without trouble. In fact, it will soon
seem to enjoy the work. In trimming
the fOaPS feet trim them so that they
Will US IGdSOlldDIH SuOII duO ICNCI.
Since the hoofs are comparatively soft
during its young age the work of trim
ming can best and easiest be done with
a strong, sharp pOcketknife.
Where the hoOfS of a fOal are not
trimmed and it is inclined to stand or
walk abnOrmally there will be more
wearing on one part than another of
the hOOf to accentuate the abnormal
ity. By frequent trimming during the
early months of its life and keeping
the feet perfectly level the feet and
legs will gradually grow TO normal
position and shape. and the foal will
walk with more ease and appear bet
ter generally Allow the foal the free
dom of a good pasture as much as
possible to allow the feet to wear and
harden.
