The Powders, acting directly on the digestive organs, first thoroughly cleanses the stomach and bowels, correcting all disorders, and then good healthy appetite comes nat urally and surely. It is the most powerful tonic and appetizer on the market to-day, and when once used horsemen will have no other. Ashcraft's Powders produce that silky sheen bf coat and hair so admired by horse fanciers. The Powders fatten but never bloat. Always high grade and put up in doses-never in bulk. By thc use of three or four doses a week your horse or mule will not bc subject to colic or any dis ease of the stomach and bowels. "I hail an old horse that was In very bail coiulltiim Kcncrally.
