Cows' Relief is a specific Remedy 

 for all troubles of bas and teats. It 

 enables dairymen, farmers and other 

 cow owners to keep their cows in a 

 healthy and profitable condition. 

 Cows' Relief is one of the most per- 

 fectly penetratine and disinfecting 

 compounds in existence. It goes 

 directly to the seat of the trouble, 

 relieves the congestion and breaks 

 up the bunches that prevent a nat- 

 ural flow of milk. 



FOR CAKED BAG 



Twelve to twenty-four hours' time 

 is all that is required to relieve any 

 case of Caked Bag, if applied freely 

 at the beginning of the trouble. 



For heifers with first calf Cows' Re- 

 lief works in a most pleasing, prompt 

 and successful manner. It relieves 

 the soreness and swelling in the bag 

 and is worth its weight in gold to 

 every dairyman. It keeps the teats 

 soft and flexible, and renders the an- 

 imal quiet and docile. 



H. C. Rice, Farmlngrton. Conn., says: 



"Please send me two boxes of 

 Cows' Relief. Enclosed find checii 

 tor same. Please send at once. I 

 wouldn't be without it in my stable." 

 L. F. Cuthbert, Hammond, N.Y., says: 

 "I h.-ive used your Cows' Relief and 

 find it a very valuable remedy for 

 Caked Bag,"

 ings that have been used in the American Bee 

 Journal. No doubt many of them could be used 

 again by bee-keepers in their local newspapers, 

 on their stationery, or in other ways. Also, if 

 we can sell some of them it would help us to 

 pay for others that we are constantly having 

 made and using in our columns. If there is any 

 of our engravings that any one would like to 

 have, iust let us know and we will quote a very 

 low price, postpaid. Address,
