EVERY MAN CAN BE HIS OWN HORSE DOCTOR, By using SLESINGER'S PREPARATIONS, As detailed below. FOR HORSES: THE Colic or Gripe Drink.— Horses are very liable to Colic or Gripe, and, if egleeted, this complaint may m"a few hours erminate m inflammation, strangulation, tympanitis, and death. Thra Colic Draught will give relief m less than two hours, and often within ten minutes. The Embrocation.— For the treatment of j Cuts, Wounds, Bruises from Saddle, Girths, or Harness, Sore Shoulders, Strains, Sprrins, ! Rheumatism, Winigalls, Swellings, etc. If 1 either of these injuries or complaints bo ne« glected for a few hours, they may take weeks to cure. The Condition Powders. — For restoring and keeping the Horse m good health, relieving Hide-bound, Surfeit, Mange, Grease, and Skin Eruptions, correcting a diseased state of the Stomach, Bowels, Kidney*, Bladder, Liver, etc The Worm Powders.— The Horse is very subject to Worms, frequently unsuspected by the owner. Thousands of Horses die for the want of these Powders, and tbe owner is none the wiser for it ; and, unless a post mortem examination is mafe, does not know that his Horse suffered from these reptiles. On all occasions, wheu the animal is poor, m low condition, hide-bound, or occasionally passing a worm, give one of tnesc Powders night and morning, as directed on each tin. The Blister Oin'ment is superior to any other. After usinj; it, he hair returns to its natural color, and, unlike any other, no blemish is left. The Hoof Oi'.s.— The chief cause of Lame- ness m Horses is some injury or defect m the Foot, which may cause inflammation of the Foot, and bring on other diseases, such as inflammation oi the Bowels, Kidneys, Lungs, ; .; These Oils, if used m time, will pievent j or cure brittle Hoofs, Sandcracks, Contrac- tion, Quittor, Canker, Corns, Thrush or Frush, Narrow Heels, Hoof-bound, Navicular Joint Disease, etc., all of which the hone is subject to, and is liable to fall and endanger the life of his rider. 1 his may be avoided by using this Oil daily, or two or three times a week. The Grease Ointment. — For the cure of Grease, Crown Scabs, Rat-tail, Mallenders and Sallenderg, or any Skin Eruption. DOG MKDICINES : The Distemper Powders are a Perfect Cure, and may also be given m other ailments. The Mange Ointments.— May be used for the Mange or any other Inflammatory Diseases of the Skin m the Horse or Dog, It may be mixed with four times its quantity of Neatsfoot Oil, being eas'er of application. By keeping a supply on hand, which costs but very' *tt:e, you can cure your Horses yourself * , v nout the aid of a Veterinary Sur- geon. N.B.— Age does not affect the strength or 4uality of either medicine. «3~AU the medicines are sold by P. FEEBIMAN, EAST STREET, ASHBURTON, |Sole Agent.

Dxab Fbixicdb— We have some hesita- tion In addressing you m the manner fol- lowing, bnt hope that it will not be looked at In any invidious light, when we state that It la only our kegard for your health that oanses us to do it. We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many years and have m the long course o! this time manufactured certain Medicines that being based on scientific formula and absolute oare and precision m manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far m advance of any other Pharmaceuti- cal Preparations of the day. How sue- efeesful we have been In this, Is only to note the extraordinary amount of the rales of our Haydook a New Liver Pill, We have the pleasnre to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydook's New Liver Pills. The reason of this de- mand Is because wo find In Haydook' New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medioine. Tho Viotories of Science— Eleotr'.o Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet- ter. So, although there are oountless Pills used for diseases and olalming muoh as to their merit, the remarkable dls- oovery of Dr Haydook has eolipsed them all, and has founded a New Medloal Sys- tem. The Doctors, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomaoh and paralyse the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with or«j off two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay- dock's New Liver Pills auffioes to place the stomach In perfeot order creates an i appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affeoted its func- tions are restored, and If the Nervous System is enfeebled, it Is invigorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Province of Burmah, 8.1.

SLESINGEE'S Rheumatic Balsam. THE greatest discovery ever yet made for the relief of human sufferers from Mus- cular or Nervous Affec ion is SLESINGER'S RHEUMATIC BALSAM. Of all the advertised remedies and all the j prescriptions from the medical faculty for the cure of Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, Scia- tica, Tic Douloureux, Neuralgia, Lumbago, Strains or Sprains, Chilblains, or pains of any son from the above affections, none have been so successful and effectual as aLESINGER'S RHFUMATIC BALSAM. And why ? you will ask. Because there is no nonsense about it. You are not asked to swallow so many pills or so many spoonfuls of mixture or draughts, 2, 3, or 4 times a day, or every other day ; or to use hot, cold, shower, or Turkish Bath< ; or to take or avoid this, that, or the other food ; or to drink only such and such fluid, and not to drink anything else ; or to tke such and such exercise, etc., etc. _ No 1 Slesinger's Rheumatic Balsam Jequires no such stipulation 1 Eat and drink according to your own good sen c, and if yru only use the Balsam as directed on each bottle, m one day, and even m less time, or after one or two app!icat ; ons, you are relieved from your pain and sufferings, and you will bless the invent* r of the Balsam. Furthermore, ycu are i.ot asked to repeat the dose, that is to say, to luy another bottle or another box of pills. No I nothing of the sort is wanted. One bottle, although small m appearance, but large m its eflcct, is qu'te sufficient m the worst of cases, aild often rrom 20 to 100 drops, according to the surface of the complaint, is sufficient for a cure. CERTIFICATE. Moray Place. Dunedin. Mr Slesingei, V.S., Hope Street. Dear Sir,- I have much pleasure m report- ing to you thai, after having used your Rheu- matic Balsam m cases of Neuralgia, Acute, and Chronic Rheumatics, 1 have found it really a useful remedy. I have, therefore, no hesitation m recom- mending the same for the above-mentioned cases. — Yours, etc., C. N. RsitfEit, Surgeon. y. feSimaxt, tIAGENT
