18 DEVELOPMENT OF THE MODERN HORSE 



English thoroughbred, the Percheron, the German coacher, the 

 Orloff, and the American trotter. And yet they are hardly 

 adapted directly to the work of the horses of the Occident. In 

 their own sphere of action they stand unrivaled. They have con- 

 tributed much to the excellence of our modern breeds ; but the 

 day has long passed since Arabian or Barbary crosses promised 

 any advantage to horses of the western world. In America they 

 have degenerated by neglect into the mustang of the plains. The 

 mustang, as we shall see hereafter, traces his lineage to Moorish 

 horses through those brought to Spain by the Saracen conquerors, 

 and possesses unmistakable relationship to his more highly bred 

 ancestors. 



Eickmore*s Gall Cure — How Put Up 



Bickmore's Gall Cure is put up in tin boxes. For the average 

 buyer we recomnnend our two-ounce box, selling at dealer's at 25 

 cents each. For a man having more use for a healing ointment, 

 our six-ounce box, retailing at 50 cents each, is cheaper to buy, 

 while for the large consumer we have a one-pound box which sells 

 for one dollar each. There are thousands upon thousands of retail 

 dealers selling Bickmore's Gall Cure in all parts of this country, but 

 it sometimes happens that a stockman can not easily procure our 

 remedy, and to such we will supply it at our regular retail prices, 

 delivered by mail. In dozen lots we will deliver the two-ounce 

 size for $2.25 per dozen, the six-ounce size for $4.50 per dozen 

 and the sixteen-ounce size for $9 per dozen, cash with order. 



Large consumers should buy in dozen lots, either of dealers or 

 of us, and save this liberal discount we make for large orders. 



English Thoroughbred 



As its name indicates this breed is of English derivation, and the 

 word thoroughbred, originally used as an adjective, has long since 

 become a part of the name of these horses. From the fact that 



' ' Have used your Gall Cure for some time in our outfit and find it away 

 ahead of all others we have used.
