DR.. HENNEV HAS VALUABLE
FOOD FOR LIVE STOCK

It has been known for q long time
that there are certain food require
ments, small in quantity and not we'll
understood. which are necessary for
the proper growth and normal de.
velopment of the animal body. These
substances are known as vitamines.
Dr.. A. T. Peters. chief veterinarian
of Illinois, has recently perfected a
food known as "Vitamineral," which,
being rich in vitamines and those nee
essary mineral elements, in concen-
trated form, has been of untold value
to dairymen, stock raisers and poul-
trymen in localities where 1t has been
made.
It has been estimated that the av.
erage cost per day Is one cent per
head, SO that its cost IL not prohibi-
tive. One tablespoonful twice day,
mixed with the grain ration is sui
ffcient In ordinary cases.
DIR. Henney has just received a ship
ment, it being sold through veterinar.
ians only and would be glad to have
anyone who is interested in increased
in dairy herds, more egg pro-
stronger, more vigorous off
spring, If they are stockraisers. call
and inquire further about this pro
duct. He also has booklets for dis
tribution. which will go more into de-
tail as to it's use and reliability.
