Eichelberger Agent Gulf Refining Phone 33 / What a great improvement would be made in the condition of horses and other animals if just the proper remedy were used when they became ill or injured. If your horse could talk he would ask you not to use any external remedy containing alcohol because it slings and tortures his flesh terribly. Some liniments have alcohol and other fiery ingredients which only inflame the skin and tissue without striking down to where the pain lies. Beware of such liniments. The great humane, quick-action remedy is MEXICAN MUSTANG LINlMENT. Made of oils, without a drop of alcohol or other torturing element, it soaks straight to the bone and muscle. It soothes the wounded parts and is comforting while the healing work is progressing. Mexican Mustang Liniment is what you want because it Makes your work lighter, saves your livestock from suffering and keeps them in good trim for work. For all forms of Lameness, Strains, Bruises, Cuts, I hums, Galls and Harness Sores in animals, it is safe and prompt and does not promise what it cannot perform. Mustang Liniment has been doing its wonderful healing work for 65 years. The amount of money it has saved livestock owners is incalculable. One man writes that he was about to kill his valuable horse because badly injured but Mustang Liniment made him well again. A Vet erinary tells us he has used Mustang Liniment fifteen years and found it best liniment for cuts, strains, etc. And many others arc enthusiastic friends of this tried and tvue remedy. Now you know just what makes Horses so Happy. WHITES GAINING IN THIS STATE Show Appreciable Increnso in Propor tion to Negroes. Illiteracy Bate is High.
