" Lancaster, Oct. 9, 1848. 

 " Messrs. Stimpson & Reed : — In July last, I had a valuable cow attacked 

 with what is commonly called horn-ail, which so reduced her that in a short 

 time she was unable to stand. I administered all the remedies within my 

 knowledge ; but she continued to grow worse, and I thought she must die. 

 The medicines prepared by Dr. Dadd were then recommended to me by a 

 friend who had used them, and so sanguine was he that they would relieve 

 her, that he procured some, and wished me to use them, which I did with 

 surprising effect. I applied the Liquid Blister a few times, rubbing it in 

 between the horns, and at the same time gave a Physic Ball ; and in three 

 hours afterwards the cow was able to get up alone. I then gave the Distem- 

 per Powder, and she soon got entirely well. Dr. Dadd's medicines I think 

 are invaluable to farmers and others dealing in cattle, and only require to be 

 known to be extensively used PETER OSGOOD."
