W.CLARK'S PASIATREDSIS The only Remedy ever produced for tbe Cure of Roarers and "Whistlers . THE GREAT WONDER OF THE AGE , WHICH XO MAN CAN SUFFICIENTLY VALUE .. FOR OUTWARD APPLICATION ONLY . It is the Remedy for Sore Throats , Irritation of the Throat , Strangles , Inflammation of the Lungs and Kidneys , Spavin , Curbs , Splints , Ringbones , Sidebones , Capped Hocks . Enlarged Joints can be reduced to their normal size . Stiff Joints , Contracted Muscles , and Sinews made elastic , giving freedom of action . It is the quickest known remedy to reduce Inflammation . It does not Blister or cause any Irritation when applied , nor does it remove the hair . Thin "Preparation ia BO simple in its use that it does not prevent the animal from doing its usual daily work during its application . This is a very great advantage . Tho Proprietor has had this Preparation " before the public for upwards of twenty-six years , and during that time it has effected many wonderful cures , and has never known it to fail in any of tho undermentioned cases . Ho has a mare , eleven years old , who turned a Roarer in the Spring of last year , making a terrible noise ; after dressing her with this Preparation she was completely cured , and has been in hard work ever since . Tho Proprietor has jusfc cured two very bad cases . A horse got loose in its stable and was seriously kicked on tho point of the shoulder , which made him so lame that he could only just put his toe to the ground . Tha other was caught by a piece of ropo round tho hind etloek joint , which wns very much cut . By applying tho Pasiatrcusis they were ablo to walk sound in twenty-four hours , and wero healed without blemish , thus showing how quick tho inflammation can bo reduced . The Proprietor consider this the most valuable Preparation ever introduced to the public . There is no need for breeders of horses thinking it will not pay them . Horses from two to five years of age are often subject to various ailments , consequently deteriorating in value . The Piisiatreiisis will overcome all these difficulties , without blemish to the animal , therefore breeders will be able to realise a higher pi-ice in the market . TESTIMONIAL . " 0 Sl'YUOUII 1 'l .
