Glycerin Linseed Meal, etc., I have bought large] and am selling at one-half "the prio charged by mj predecessor, and for every article my price for the finest quality will be found as low, and generally lower, than < it can be purchased elsewhere.

Testimonials as to their value have been freely given me by Livery Stablekeepers, Farmers, Dealers, from Mr John Grig?, and other well known breeders. As my experience was gained m a large veterin- ary establishment, with a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, and not solely from books, my medicines and advice may be relied on.
