For all Diseases to which a florse is Liable. THE various diseases to which that no? ble and naefnl animal, the horse, is subject, and the little knowledge that is known of them by farriers and ignorant ostlers, have occasioned many remedies to be offered to the public under different forms, with high encomiums, and sanc? tioned by dignified names. Some of these are. injurions; others, at best, of little use. and many entirely worthless, and do not meet the want. A good medicine, free from objections of thia kind, has long been desired by many gentlemen who havo Va? luable horses. We therefore offer tho only Hood medicine-the true "GERMAN HORSE POWDER." which has proved so efficacious in all tho diseases. U is pre? pared from thc original recipe of Dr. llei nitah, of Germany. Its extraordinary vir? tues are attested to by thousands, and for fifty years has stood, and still aland*, lirst in the estimation of all experienced farm? ers and agriculturists as the best medicine for thc horse. It is recommended for horses foundered by eating to excess or drinking cold water when heated, to such as have symptoms of glandera or are ex? posed to tho infection by being with other horses, for indigestion, distemper, hide? bound, drowsiness, loss of appetite, inward sprains, debility, wasting of flesh, sore eves, swelled legs, grease, mange, surfeit, old coughs, for exhaustion from work. It carries off all foul humors, purifies and cool;; the blood, and prevents horses be? coming stiff and foundered. It is a stimu IIH for woak stomachs, anil renders the limbs and skin soft and fine, giving a smooth coal to tho hair. Ask for "Heb liitsh's German Horse Powder."
