H I have had occasion to use your* f Black-Draught Stock and Poultry Medi- n ■ cine and am pleased to say that I never H I used anything for stock that gave half as I I good satisfaction. I heartily recom. I I mend it to all owners of stock. J. B. BELSHER, St. Louis, Mo. I I Sick stock or poultry should not I ■ eat cheap stock food any more than I ■ sick persons should expect to be I ■ cored by food. When your stock ■ I and poultry are sick give them med- ■ I icine. Don’t stuff them with worth- I I less stock foods. Unload the bowels I I and stir up the torpid liver and the I ■ animal will be cured, if it be possi- ■ I ble to cure it. Black-Draught Stock I ■ and Poultry Medicine unloads the I ■ bowels and stirs up the torpid liver. I ■ It cures every malady of stock if I. ■ taken in time. Secure a 25-cent can ■ I of Black-Draught Stock and Poultry ■ ■ Medicine and it will pay for itself ten I ■ times over. Horses work better. Cows I I give more milk. Hogs gain flesh. ■ ■ And hens lay more eggs. It solves ths ■ I problem of making as much blood. ■ ■ flesh and energy as possible out or I ■ the smallest amount of food con- ■ I gamed. Buy a can from your dealer. ■
