IT IS A FACT ESTABLISHED and well known that the Arabians attained a height in the knowl edge of medicine which caused the whole world to wonder and admire. With them the science of chemistry had its birth, and it Is, therefore, not at ail strange that a people so eminently successful In the healing art, and so persevering and daring in character, should, by actnal and untiring experi ment, discover remedies far surpassing in efficacy all others, for the cure of those diseases incident to them from their mode of life. The greater part of their time being spent in hazardous and bloody warfare with the different tribes, they were subject to th most violent attacks of rheumatism, paralys is, neuralgic pains, and various inflammatory dis eases, as also the most horid wounds, sprains brui ses, tumors, swellings, diseases of. the Joints, etc. All these diseases they were so surprisingly effi cient in curing, that the uninitiated looked with wonder and attributed their skill to the powers of magic. U G. FARRELL'S ARABIAN LINIMENT is a composition of balsams and oils, from rare plants peculiar to this country, and it was by the use of the articles composing this great remedy that not only their physicians, but even the wild Arabs of the desert were enabled to perform such miraculous cures, Tne Arab steed is world-renowned for uia beautiful symmetry of form, his unturpassed speed and agility, and the incredible fatigue it is capable of enduring. Why is it? Be cause from the time of his birth his limbs are care fully watched, and upon the first appearance of disease the magic lotion is applied, and such things as confirmed sweeny, poll-evil, fistula, ringbone, Mratches, spavin, lameness, etc., etc., are unknown. The same result will follow in all cases where 11. G. Farrell's Genuine Arabian Liniment -is nsed in lime. Therefore delav not in procuring a good anpply of it, for every dollar spent In it will save ynu twenty, and a great deal of suffering, if not your life. LOOKOUT FOR COUNTERFEITS!
