THE celebrated Author of NIMROD ON CONDITION asserts that he never had in his possession a horse that ever suffered from WORMS, went blind or brokenwinded; neither experienced lameness from thrushes, cracked heels, farcy, or humours; which he attributes mostly to the giving of such alterative or physic medicine every two months, so as to excite a sufficient discharge by the skin, bowels, or kidneys, and thereby produce a regularity in the system. His great practical experience shows the necessity of administering such medicines (particularly to horses in work); and to meet this desired object, no more prudent medicine can be given than GIBTON'S WORM AND CONDITION POWDERS, as a safe and certain remedy for destroying all species of worm, and removing and keeping back the above diseases. And particularly if given at this season, autumn, and in the spring, they will put the horse in fine condition for the coming season, and give him additional strength and vigour, purify his blood, and add a fine gloss to his coating; and may be administered without making any alteration either in food or labour; and as the horse will take these powders freely, the groom will have but little trouble in giving them. Sold in boxes, with the Purgative Ball, at 3s. 9d., with a Treatise. The Public are particulary requested to observe that the Signature of Robert N. Gibton is on each wrapper. Sole Wholesale Agent, W. Edwards, 67, St. Paul's, London, and by most respectable Chemists and Booksellers. G. WATERPROOF BOOTS FOR SPORTSMEN. HOBY has pleasure in calling attention to his new leather for Waterproof Boots and Shoes, which, whilst perfectly impervious to wet, is softer and more pliable than ordinary leather, and of all thicknesses, from a light boot to the thickest shooting boot. It is manufactured with a plain face like common leather, or with a glazed surface like patent leather; it is especially recommended for HUNTING BOOTS; and is only a trifling addition to the cost of ordinary boots or shoes. HOBY'S IMPERIAL BLACKING, which has no unpleasant smell, produces a polish equal to patent leather, in bottles 1s. 6d. each, or 12s. per dozen. Also, HOBY'S EMOLLIENT WATERPROOF WAX, for waterproofing boots and shoes made of the ordinary leather, in bottles, at 5s. each. 48, St. James's Street, London.
