6\)& APPENDIX. 



medicine * which you furnished to Mr. Whiting proved very effectual for the 

 curing of my sheep. The disease was brought into the flock by an import- 

 ed Leicester buck. It did great injury, and produced considerable loss, but 

 has quite disappeared. 



If you shall be equally successful in the treatment of the diseases of which 

 so many fine cattle have died within three or four years, you will do the 

 farming and cattle-growing interests great benefit. 



With respect, yours, 



D. WEBSTER. 



Healing Balsam, for saddle galls, cuts, wounds, bruises, and foul ulcers, 

 for horses or cattle. For description, see directions. Price 50 cents per 

 bottle. 



Hoof Ointment, for horses or cattle. This valuable remedy is the only 

 article recommended by the faculty of London and Edinburgh ; for the sim- 

 ple reason, that it does not evaporate so readily as many preparations in use. 

 It is used with great success in brittle hoof, sand crack, lameness from bad 

 crack, fever, and contraction of the foot ; it preserves the elasticity of the 

 crust, and allows the sole to descend to its proper position. Those who own 

 oxen, should never be without this article, for their feet are constantly 

 exposed to injury from rough roads and bad shoeing. Price 50 cents per 

 bottle. 



Ointment, for mange, scratches, old sores, and all diseases of the skin. It 

 is a well known fact, that horses or cattle are very apt to become mangy, if 

 kept long in the stable without grooming; yet these diseases may arise from 

 causes independent of a neglected skin, but they seldom trouble a well- 

 cleansed animal. This is an important subject to the stable-keeper, for dis- 

 eases of the skin produce derangement of functions in the stomach and 

 bowels. Price 50 cents per bottle. 



Ointment, for promoting the growth of hair. For horses or cattle, when- 

 ever a blemish is produced, either by accident or design, this ointment will 

 promote the perfect growth, and restore it to the original color in a few days. 

 Price 50 cents per bottle. 



Directions to those zcho use Dad(Vs Horse and Cattle Medicines. 



Endeavor to ascertain, and remove, the direct or exciting causes of dis- 

 ease ; they may be found in improper ventilation of the barn, or stable, 

 damaged food, over-feeding, want of cleanliness, over-exertion, and many 

 other causes too numerous to mention, but equally important to the farmer 

 and stable-keeper. 



N. B. Whenever the dry powders are administered in the food, the latter 

 should be wetted, to absorb the fine particles. 



Liquid Blister. This is useful in all cases where it is necessary to pro- 

 duce counter-irritation. It will be found very useful in chronic enlargement 



* The medicine above referred to by Mr. Webster, was Distemper Powder and 

 Mange Ointment.
