Medicine vs. Food
Do not buy something which you already have. You have food which you feed your horses, cattle and sheep, but when you want medicine, buy only medicine. That is what you get in B.A. Thomas' Stock Remedy. We sell it and guarantee it to be the medicines. We tell you that it will tone up the entire system of your stock and aids digestion, thereby causing them to get all the food value out of the grain that you feed them. E.C. Cherrington
