FRAUDS ON FARMERS -
•
Mr. Griswell-of the Experimental. Farm, Guelph, tells as, that these so-
called Stock Foods are Francis on the Farmers. A, Farmer pays from 02.00 to
• $3.00 for a pail of Stock food, which he can make hihaself for from 25c to 50c.
Why_ should the farmer not make his own Stock food.
We have made a study of what is required to make'a young animal mature„
quickly, and to niakoa fidi r�wnanimai fatten quickly. All that is necesskh.,
is to regulate the animal, make the digestion perfect, and increase the amount
of Saliva. We have the goods to do •
Just ask us for Dr. Douglas Stock Invigorator and we will fell you.hige to.'
make your own stock food,and save your money. • . •
Dr. Douglas Stock Invigorator is good for Horses, Cattle, Sheep, Hogs,
Poultry etc. It cost xis nothing to do this, it saves your money, and keeps it in
the country, the farmer gets the benefit of it, instead of keeping up Dan Patch
