Dear Sirs :—Yours of yesterday asking for my expe¬ 
rience with II. W. Johns’ Patent Asbestos 
Rooting duly received. In answer, would say, I have 
used Mr. Johns’ Roofing and Coating extensively for 
Ten Years past, and with great satisfaction. I have 
applied it to more than three hundred roofs in Rockford, 
Ill., and adjacent country. I have roofs in Rockford that 
have been on Eight Years without Repairs—they arc 
sound and good, and by simply recoating will last as 
much longer. I have Feen and tested many kinds of 
Composition Roofing during the past ten years. I have 
seen nothing that comes up to •■Johns’ Patent Asbes¬ 
tos.” Truly yours, L. M. WEST. 
Tlie “ Asbestos Rooting ” is adapted for- steep

TAYLOR’S HORSE AND CATTLE FOOD 
is used with great success in fattening horses, cattle, and 
BWine. It gives a good appetite, acts on the kidneys, de¬ 
stroys worms, and gives a glossy coat. Stage proprietors, 
dairymen, farmers, stock dealers, and other reliable gentle¬ 
men have given it a thorough trial, and say it is the best 
article they have ever used for putting and for keeping stock 
in a good, healthy condition. It is also good for coughs and 
colds in animals, and is pronounced a very superior cure for 
cholera among poultry.
