Get a pail of
Here’s how you can tell:,1
Dr. Hess StockTonic
Start in to give double the regularly
prescribed dose for a week or ten days,
until the bowels move freely (physic).
Make sure that each hog gets its share.'
Mix it with the feed, or swill, or drinking;
water. That will bring the worms.
Then give the Tonic regularly as di-
rected—two tablespoonfuls to every 500
pounds weight twice a day. This will tone
up your herd and put the~\ in a fine, thriv-
ing condition.,
Costs Little to Use
The price of one pound of pork pays a
shoat’s Tonic bill for thirty days.
Honest Goods-^-Honest Price. Why Pay
More?
