346 GIVING MEDICINE. 



For my own future protection I decline to give the public 

 my recipe for making three of the best and most successful 

 remedies I have ever used in my long practice, or have ever 

 known to be used in the practice of others. They are all 

 covered by letters patent, and I cannot afford to give them 

 away ; each one is worth in itself many times the cost of 

 this book. My readers shall have access to them, however, at 

 all times during my life, as I shall continue to manufacture and 

 sell them. They are the following : 



Dimon's Spavin Cure, put up in eight-ounce bottles, and can 

 be ordered direct from me at one dollar a bottle, with full in- 

 structions and directions for use. 



Dimon's Colic Remedy, put up in eight-ounce bottles, and 

 retailing at one dollar each, with full directions. In connection 

 with this last-named remedy I wish to state here that I have 

 yet to meet the first case of colic which this medicine, if taken 

 in time, has failed to cure. 



Dimon's Black Oil, put up in two sized bottles, and retail- 

 ing for fifty cents and one dollar. Full directions accompany 

 each bottle. 



Now to prove to my readers my own unselfishness in this 

 matter and that I do not wish to advise them to depend wholly 

 on these remedies, notwithstanding my great success With 

 them, I give what I consider, in all cases, the next best remedy. 



Of liniments, blisters, ointments, salves, worm powders, and 

 physic balls, there are in existence a great variety ; many of 

 which are undoubtedly very good. I shall mention but a few, 

 those being such as I consider well worthy of use. 



Liniment. Next to Dimon's Spavin Cure, which I use as a 

 liniment, reduced to any strength desired, I consider the fol- 

 lowing two formulas the best. I call them Dimon's Own Lini- 

 ment and Dimon's Stable Liniment. The first is made as fol- 

 lows : 



Alcohol, . . . . .1 gallon. 



Spirits Turpentine, . . .1 quart. 



Oil of Cedar, . . . . 4 oz. 



Oil of Hemlo<5k, . . . . 4 oz.
