HORSE and CATTLE FOOD. 
The unprccedeuled success that has marked the introduc- 
tion of this food i3 beyond parallel. It has given satisfaction 
in every case. Horses fed with this food have rapidly re- 
covered from the weakening nnd debilitating effects of the 
recent epidemic, and are now healthy examples of the good 
i si, lis of nutritious treatment. It has also been used with 
equal beneficial effects with cattle, sheen, swine, and even 
chickens. It is a sure cure for bots and worms in horses, 
and the other incidental diseases of the young horse. It en- 
tirely eradicates chicken cholera, fattens oxen, enriches the 
milk of cows, and purifies the blood of all animals.
