Verbatim Copy, 
John Larvin, Farrier and Cow Doctor, better known as 
the Irish Cow Doctor. 
John Larvin begs to inform Cowkeepers, Farmers, and 
Publicans generally that he has received a valuable mixture 
for the cure of cattle suffering under Milk Fever, Dry 
Murrain and other diseases. Any Cow dying while under 
his treatment, will pay for the damage, if he does not tell 
the cause of death, before examination by opening. 
Why don’t you Farmers set a working-man to mow yourmea- 
dows, and do good work, and charge for his time ? No, the 
working-man must tell you what he will do it for before you 
set him on, and do good work. Why should you set College 
Men, Farriers, Cow Doctors, or Skilful Men on your dumb 
animals without knowing what you are to pay for doing 
good work ? It is enough for you to lose your time and 
rest, to lose the food, and the dumb animal at the end. If 
he wants too much for doing it, pay him off;—there are 
plenty more in the country.

perfect cure of her in a short time.

I had a cow that had been down three days and three 
nights, by what the skilful men called milk fever. They 
applied brandy, and other medicine by other skilful men, 
which was of no use, but still worse. In this case I applied 
to John Larvin, Farrier, and Cow Doctor, at the Bull’s
