WHEN ASHCRAFT'S condi . tion Powders are fed to horses and mules, marked improvement will be seen after the first few doses. There is no doubt about it. 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 of 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 the use of three or four doses a week your horse or mule will not be subject to colic or any dis ease of the stomach and bowels. "I had an old horse that was In very bad condition generally, ne was thin and had a blood disease that was causing tho hair to como off. I gavo thc horse three doses of Ash craft's Condition Powders a day for seven days and fed him liberally. Tho appetite improved from the first few doses and thc animal gained fifty-two pounds in flesh during tho week I gavo lt three doses a day. The general health ot thc animal was greatly Improved by tho use of thc powders and ho was made almost a new horse". I most heartily recommend Ashcraft's Condition Powders, aa I know they aro a splen did tonic and appetizer.-C. C. BIKES, Livery man, Monroe, N. C." Ask for Ashcraft's Condition Powders. Package 25c.
