A marvelous tonic for doss that are all out of sorts, run down, thin and unthrifty, 
with harsh staring coat, materated eyes and high colored urine. There is nothing to 
equal them for distemper, mange, eczema and debilitating diseases. You will notice 
the difference after a few doses.

borhood and kept at home. All that is 
needed is an old pair of wagon front 
wheels with a tongue for a two-horse 
team. The boat is lashed on, upside down, 
on axle and tongue, and can go as either 
a trailer for a flivver or a buggy. With 
the former we have found that twenty 
miles an hour is not too much or too 
rough on the trailer.

A FOOTNOTE on the transom stern: 
I prefer this to the double end 
canoe stern construction because it 
is hard enough, as it is, to bend the 
strakes on cold without steaming. The 
forces in these side planks is terrific, 
and I had once a batteau nearly com- 
pleted fly apart without warning, simply 
because the transom knees had not been 
put in before the carpenter’s clamps were 
taken off. It ripped off the bottom boards 
unmercifully from where they were 
nailed into the side strakes, and I had to 
cut the whole boat down two inches to 
get unsplit wood to nail into again. With 
the frame construction described above, 
this danger disappears. The stern tran- 
som is cut out from stock, according to 
the plans, and set up at the same time 
the stern timber and knee are put in. 
Into it are nailed the ends of the upper 
and lower chines, and the ends of the 
clamps are butted against it and nailed 
through from the back. This construc- 
tion is so strong that when the side 
strakes are bent on there is no danger 
at all of their tearing loose from the 
tern transom and ripping the boat apart. 
The lower chine also gives plenty of wood 
to nail to, and makes a strong joint be- 
tween bottom and side boards. In no 
other way could you use light %" pine 
stock for the side strakes, and so get a 
light boat. I would not build an ordinary 
batteau of less than %" stock, for the 
same reason.
