DAY, SON, & HEWITT, Animal and Agricultural Chemists, 22 Dorset-street, Bakerstreet, London, Inventors and Sole Proprietors *of the GASEOUS FLUID, or BLACK MIXTURE. — The noted remedy for scour and debility in horses, cattle, calveß, and sheep, and for the fret, colic, or gripeß in horseß. Price, Is 9d per bottle ; 20s per dozen in a wood case. Will keep good twenty years. Plain directions giTen. Extracts from the English public preßß, showing the notoriety of the Gaseous Fluid : ''We have found the colic drinks (Gaseous Fluid) prepared by Day, Son, and Hewitt, of London, act as an invaluable remedy, and would strongly recommend all who keep horses not to be without a supply." — 'Mark Lane Express,' Dec. 11, 1865. "Day, Son, and Hewitt's Gaseous Fluid is sufficient for aU the ills that calf hood is liable to. At least we have reckoned that out of 150 calves, in six years we have only lost one. Of 26 reared in the present year, we cannot record a single case of death from scouring, or any other ailment, and have used nothing besides the Gaseous Fluid. — T. Bowick, author of 'Prize Essay on Rearing of Calves.' " "In answer to an • Old Subscriber,' respecting the scouring of young calves, I should recommend him not to let his calves have more than three quarts of milk per day for the first four days, and not more than four quarts until they are a month old. I wean from 30 to 40 every year, and never lose one from scouring. If they show the least symptoms of scouring, I always give Day, Son, and Hewitt's Gaseous Fluid, which is a certain cure if taken in time." —A Subscriber of 20 Years.—' Bell's Weekly Messenger,' May 20, 1861. "If scouring continues, notwithstanding these precautions, a little medecine should be given in flour or Btarch gruel, or much condition will soon be lost, and for this purpose I have iound Day, Son, and Hewitt's Gaseous Fluid the best corrective I have tried. lam not fond of giving medecine to any animals, and much prefer leaving nature to correct simple ailments herself, by stopping ail food and giving the stomach rest, or helping her by change of diet and additional care. Nor have I any purpose to serve by recommending the medical preparations of this firm, but I have derived so much advantage the , last two years from the contents of the Medecine Chest they supply, that I can recommend it strongly as a most valuable auxiliary to stockkeepers of all kinds, but especially to shepherds. With the medecines they give plain directions for use, which any man may understand and which I think will place him in a good position to deal satisfactorily with most of the diseases to which Bheep are liable — Extract from lecture on • Summer Grazing of Sheep,' delivered before the Over Agricultural Society by Mr Thomas Rigby, April, 1866. '• We would particularly recommend all owners of stock to keep a medicine chest, from Messrs Day, Son, taxxd Hewitt, of Dorset- street, Portmansquare, London, W., who are veterinary medicine manufactures and vendors, and supply most excellent remedies for scour, gripes,, and other diseases. Having used these medicines for some years with success, we do not hesitate to say, if the instructions are carried out, they will be found most effective. — ' Sporting Gazette ' on Agriculture and the Farm, 13th January, 1866.
