“CURE-ALLS” FOR LIVE-STOCK.
It is remarkable how gullible many persons are when approached by agents or canvassers of some preparation reputed to be a cure for almost any ill that animal flesh may be heir to. So-called “ cure-alls ” are constantly on the market, and are too often found on the shelf of the farmer, who, unfortunately, looks upon the purchase as a guarantee or insurance against any of the troubles to which his stock may become afflicted, and in time of trouble relies on such preparations to his future sorrow. Numerous cases have come under the Department’s notice of very serious loss having ; occurred through too great reliance being placed on such preparations, and it is hoped that this note may serve as a warning to stockowners to look with suspicion on any preparation reputed by the canvasser to be a cure for this, that, and the other ill. A little thought should brand any such assertion as ridiculous, seeing that each trouble has its own peculiarity, and therefore its own particular treatment.
