A Remedy for Colic in Horses.
Mr. H. Jeff. Davis, who wishes to

of gunpowder will certainly cure
the colic in horses or mules. Of
many cases he has seen tried he
has not known this remedy to fail.
The powder used is the olack gun
powder, and not the smokeless now
used generally. The biaek powder
contains saltpetre and sulphur and
is a good remedy in the proportion
used in the powder. Paste this in
your hat.

It would be difficult for her to find

her the two or th>-ee years training

lecture to their most advanced stu

fact that at last this‘’blaek spot” has
been erased from the “temperence
