Though put up in coarser form than Thedford's Black-Draught, repawned for th^ cure of the digestion troubles of persons, it has the same qualities of invigorating digestion, stirring up the torpid liver and loosening the constipated bowels for all stock and poultry. It is carefully pre­ pared and its action is BO healthful that stock grow and thrive with an occasional dose in their food. It cures hog cholera and makes hogs grow fat. It cores chicken cholera and roup and makes hens lay. It cures constipation, distemper and colds in horses, murrain in cattle, and makes a draught animal do more work for the food consumed. It gives animals and fowls of all kinds new life. Every farmer and raiser should certainly give it a trial. It oasts 25c. a can and saves ten times its price in profit. fAHty qtotnts BUCKWHEAT HOUR If you want good, pure Buckwheat, the old-fash­ ioned N. Y.
