' " - - •' !• "When the epiaootie flrgt appeared a , , ftjty years ajfo, I was engaged in con- g ,^8tructing the S^M. B. R., in Charles * <»«»ty, Maryland, and had eight horses -and two mules in my stable. Iwtw ad­ vised to try a$afet£da as a preventive, ; and, procuring a few ounce % I bound it on the bits of my bridles with strips of cotton. I also dropped pieces in the * feed boxes, and filled a small canvass bag with asafetida and dropped it in! a the water trough. Thus my horsds ,< were surrounded, as it were, by an at- 3 mosphere of asaeftlda, and not one of them took the epizootic, though the f horses employed ou the same railroad, J and distant only half » mile, took th¥ . disease in its worst form, compelling auspensiyn of work for nearly thirty .Jdays, And resulting in the, death of flseveral horses. It does not cost much, and I advise farmers and owners of ;;horses to give its trial." ft J A SURE CUBE FOR DIARRHOEA. |f ^ , This is to certify that after coming . home from California to my family in t Chicago I was taken with a diarrhoea. S- - I tried everything tHat was recommen- jdfid to me (but did me no good) for over five years, until I got two bottles ~ of F. Marcus' Bitters which complete­ ly cured me. Robert Forrest Peter Blane and others ean testify the above to be true and no humbug. I have :.V.B £roved it to be equally as good for illions complaints. It strengthens ; and invigorates the whole system, Scarries off the bile, and gives warmth to the chilled veins of both old and|t| young. It is the best bitters I ever " used. John Penman Sen.
