 this time I was called upon to prescribe for many, and I soon found that- 

 Prof. Flint's Horse and Cattle Kenevating Powders were the very best 

 thing I could give. Dose i tablespoonf ul three times a day at first, and 

 then only twice each day.

 troubled with the bad after-effects which followed many that received no 

 treatment
