Fa’iaj'it Railroad Horse Powers and Overshot 
Threshing Machines and Separators. 
TVTOTWITHTSTANDING the increased facilities for manufac- 
taring the above celebrated machines, which our extensive 
m mufuetory recently erected in this city affords, the demand has 
exceeded the supply.—Upwards of three hundred sets have been 
sold since the first of June, and to almost all portions of the West¬ 
ern states, as well as our own. 
In all and every case, they have given universal satisfaction— 
an 1 with their long established character for durability and cheap¬ 
ness of cost and efficiency, their utility is no longer questioned. 
More than one hundred sets have been sold this season in the 
slates of Illinois, Wisconsin and Ohio—several in Ind.ana and Ca¬ 
nada. and but one opinion prevails where they are used. With our 
liber *1 terms, as advertised by catalogues and other ways, the 
purchaser ventures nothing in trying or purchasing them. 
Below we give the opinion of Mr. J. A. Wight, editor of th§ 
Prairie Farmer, at Chicago, Illinois than whom a more capable, 
careful, or independent man in such matters, is not to be found. 
He was authorised by me to receive orders for the above machines 
and has succeeded tiius far, in forwarding more orders than could 
be supplied 
The same Mr. Wight was appointed chairman of the commit¬ 
tee No. 1 on Agricultural Implements, at the Fair of the State 
Ag Society at Syracuse, but was detained at home, and forward¬ 
ed the following opinion in writing, for the use of the committee. 
“ I have sold about thirty sets of the Railroad Horse Powers 
and Threshing Machines this season, and a majority of them have 
gone into use. 
“ Thus far they are greatly preferred for the following reasons: 
“Ease of operation, direct application of the power to the 
thresher without gearing ; safety, ease of keeping in order, ease 
and cleanliness of feeding—and for the general perfection with 
which they do their work 
“Threshing can be done with one-half or two-thirds what it 
costs with the large six and eight horse power machines. 
“ They have given entire satisfaction so far as they have been 
usea here.” HORACE L. EMERY.

GEORGE W. MERCHANT’S CEREBRATED 
Gargling Oil for Horses. 
UNPARALLELLED IN THE HISTORY OF MEDICINE AS THE 
Most Remarkable External Application Ever Discovered ! 
r FRUE ECONOMY. The unparalleled success of Merchant’s 
-I- Gargling Oil, in the cure of diseases in Horses and Cattle, 
and even in human flesh, is daily becoming more known to the 
farming community. It can hardly be credited, except by those 
who have been in the habit of keeping it in their stables, wha: a 
vast amount of pain, suffering, and time, are saved by the timely 
application of this Oil There is nothing equal to it in the shape of 
a remedy for such diseases as 
Spavin, Sweeny. Ringbone, Windgalls, Poll Evil, Callous , Cracked 
Heels, Galls of all kinds, Fresh Wounds, Sprains, Bruises , 
Fistula, Stitfast, Strains, Lameness. Sand Cracks , Foun¬ 
dered Feet, Scratches o> Grease, Mange, Rheumatism, 
Bites of Animals, External Poisons, Painful Ner¬ 
vous Affections, Frost Bites, Boils , Corns , 
Contractions of the Muscles, Whitlows, 
Chilblains, Chapped Hands, Cramps, 
Burns and Scalds, Swellings, 
Contraction of the Muscles, 
Weakness of the Joints, 
Caked Breasts, §c., 
4 *c , §7j. } Sfc. 
From the peculiar nature of this Oil, and the unparalleled suc¬ 
cess it has met with in the hands of the 
FARRIER, FARMER, AND STAGE PROPRIETOR, 
it is but justice to say, that of the great number of medicines that 
have been offered, none have been so well adapted to the prompt 
cure of diseases to which horses are liable ; it has been very just¬ 
ly called a complete Panacea for the Horse. For instance read 
the following : 
TO OWNERS OF HORSES. 
This may certify that I have had for many years the care of from 
100 to 200 Horses, 
and have made use of Merchant’s Gargling Oil for two years past, 
and can safely say. that for all the diseases that horses are liable to, 
I never saw its equal. I use about one bottle per month, and re¬ 
commend it to the publie, as the best medicine for horses now in 
use. E. D. MINOR.

Caution to Purchasees. —Beware of Counterfeits, and be

hand writing over the cork. 
All orders addressed to the proprietor will be promptly respond¬ 
ed to. Get a pamphlet of the Agent, and see what wonders 
are accomplished by the use of this medicine. 
HORSES.—We would call the attention of that portion of our 
readers who are in any way interested in horses, to the advertise¬ 
ment in another column, descriptive of the celebrated medicine 
called “ Merchant’s Gargling Oil.” From the peculiar nature of 
the article, and the unparalied success it has met with in the hands 
of tho^e who have the care of horses, it is but justice to say, that 
of the great number of medicines which have been offered, none 
have been so well adapted, to the prompt cure of most diseases t& 
which horses are liable. --Detroit Express.
