BALSAM! 
Ts imdoubtedly the most val¬ 
uable and reliable Veteri¬ 
nary Remedy ever discover¬ 
ed. It has superseded the Actual Cautery 
or hot iron; produces more than four times 
the effect of a blister; takes the place of all 
liniments, and is the safest application ever 
used, as it is impossible to produce a scar 
or blemish with it. It is a powerful, ac¬ 
tive, reliable and safe remedy that can be 
manipulated at will for severe or mild ef¬ 
fect. Thousands of the best Veterinarians 
and Horsemen of this country testify to its 
many wonderful cures and its great practi¬ 
cal value. It is also the most economical 
remedy in use, as one tablespoonful of 
Caustic Balsam will produce more actual 
results than a whole bottle of any liniment 
or spavin cure mixture ever made. Price 
$ 1.50. Sold by druggists, or sent, charges 
paid, by LAWRENCE, WILLIAMS &
