years, it deservedly ranks as the best Embrocation ever introduced, 

 not only on account of its cheapness but its curative qualities, 

 which have triumphed over the most obstinate cases. AYe have 

 read some testimonials of marvellous cures which prove it beyond 

 doubt to be what it professes byname, the "Cure All." One case 

 speaks of a gentleman being thrown off his horse and being cured 

 with using this Embrocation, thus showing it to be good for man 

 as well as beast. One of its special qualities is that it can be used 

 for internal as well as external uses, is always of one standard 

 and therefore a complete medicine chest of itself, and we confi- 

 dently recommend our readers to give it a trial. 



Henry's "Hippacea." — Among the hundred and one 

 specialities in the market as " stable requisites " some have not 

 proved a success, either as " certain cures " or relievers of pain. 

 These, if not gross misrepresentations on the part of the vendors, 

 are, at least, a loss to them, and a vexatious disappointment to 

 the buyer. On the other hand, however, there are genuine 

 inventions of the same class, which have fully justified the claims 

 of their resj^ective inventors, and have accordingly become recog- 

 nised and recommended as standard value, and a boon alike to 

 suffering horses and anxious owners. Among this last legitimate 

 section we unhesitatingly class the Indian remedy, known to the 

 world as Henry's " Hippacea," manufactured by Mr. F. H. 

 Bowden, in Madras, India, who, to meet the largelj- increasing 

 European demand for this and other Indian household remedies 

 of his, has recently opened a Central Depot for their supply at 

 29, Lansdowne Eoad, Croydon, Surrey. The inventor claims 

 for his " Hippacea," and justly too, judging from the opinions 

 expressed to us by personal friends (to whom samples of this 

 preparation were sent by us for trial and report), and the 

 numerous substantial testimonials of those who have used and 

 keep the preparation in their stables, that this "Hippacea "is 

 simply invaluable, and second to none, for the following troubles 

 and diseases of horses, viz. : — Eheumatism, "Wind-stroke, Sprains 

 of all sorts. Sprung Tendons, Sore Throat, Influenza, Stiffness, 

 Bruises, Cuts and Weunds, Broked Knees, Cracked Heels, 

 Over-reaches, CEdema or Swelling of the Legs, Swellings 

 Generally, Sore Shoulders and Backs, Spavins, Heat Lumps, 

 Bites and Stings of flies and noxious insects. Mange and other 

 Skin Diseases and all irritable conditions of the skin. For 

 testimonials see Advertisement at end of this work. 



Hinkley's Liniment for Horses, Dog's, and 

 Cattle. — The Author has used this embrocation on some horses, 

 and finds it quite as efficacious as stated by the advertisement in 

 our columns. He is of opinion, from economical reasons as well 

 as humane feeling, that no stable should be without it. For curing
