HORSE and CATTLE FOOD* 
The unprecedented success that has marked the introduc¬ 
tion of this food is beyond parallel. It lias given satisfaction 
in every case. Horses fed witli tills food have rapidly re¬ 
covered from the weakening and debilitating effects of the 
recent epidemic, and are now healthy examples of the good 
results of nutritious treatment. It has also been used with 
equal beneficial effectB with cattle, sheep, 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.
