I WILL INSURE YOUR HOGS! 
DR. JOS. HAAS’ 
HOG AND POULTRY REMEDY 
[None Genuioo without this Triule Mart.] 
Is the only Practical Preventive of the so* 
called Swine Plague. 
It has never been surpassed as an increaser of 
pork and general system tonic Aid'-mr digestion, 
disease germ*, and preserve* to the well bred hog 
his natural constitution. Where it has been fed to 
such animals in Ihe prescribed quantities, and 
other directions faithfully observed ir has proved 
a thorough preveutive against swine disease. 
AS AX EVIDENCE OF FAITH 
'n mv remedy l make the following offer: 
; will insure herdaof swine of not less than one 
huuoict in number against disease, at n small fee 
per head, provided they are fed my remedy under 
my directfo*. and prove upon examination prior to 
contract that. hey are In a healthy condition, and 
are neither In-bred, close-hred nor the progeny of 
BQCllw 
X. I will forfeit JMO.OO to any breeder whos^ offer 
to examiDe for insurance I decline proviu tl he 
forward* remittance to cover my expenses to and 
from location of hogs. or I fail to prove to thesatis- 
faction of auv disinterested party, that failure to 
respond to invitation is caused by prior engagement 
or by matters of at least equal importance. 
2. I will forfeit 8500.03 if I decline upon examina¬ 
tion to insure such herds, if ray judgment as to 
their condition of health is overborne by the result 
of an examination made by at least, two properly 
qualified and graduated veterinary surgeons. 
Facts are Better than Assertions. 
Please read the following testimony: 
GibsOSTON P. O., Pa., Feb. 2,1S85. 
Dr. Jos. Haas—Dear Sir: About a year ago our 
herd here numbered ahont 2,70) bead. Disease 
broke out. and no remedy we bad would Arrest the 
trouble. Our hisses were heavy aud we bad to give 
up feedingentirely for about two months. We ttaeu 
heard of vaur remedy and bought a trial lot. and 
began feeding again. We have used it constantly 
eversinee. Webavesince April las', received about 
5,060 h*m1 of bogs into our herd and have not. had a 
single death from swine disease. This is our ex- 
perlence. Our opinion is that the remedy has pre¬ 
vented disease, and we would not think of being 
without It. A* an aid in fattening pork, we believe 
It to be good. On this point, however, we have not 
made an actual test, us ire would not risk feeding a 
pen of hogs without the Itemrdy. . 
^ Yours very truly. WHITE <& CO. 
[X. B.—White Jt Co., since writing the above 
letter, have purchased 4450 worth of the remedy.] 
The remedy can be procured of al; Druggists, or 
from my laboratory. Prices. *2.50, $1.25 and 50 cts. 
per package. 25 lb. cans. *12.50.
