GREATEST FARE OF THE AGE
DR MORSMAN TELLS OF THE
STOCK FOOD SWINDLE.
Absolutely Worthless Preparations
in the Great Majority of Cases
Time to Call a Halt.
I do not know hm\ many farmers
and stock men will read this article.
Probably not many, but I ask those
who do read it to pass tin message
along to their friends and neighbors.
The stock food swindle has been
worked long enough.
Quite recently tills county lias been
visited by clever operators whose
aim was to sell stock food in lots
amounting to twenty-five dollars. I
am assured that their verbal agree
ment was exceedingly liberal and ac
companied by guarantees, etc., but th
printed agreement was really a con
tract to pay, and once signed the
farmer owned the goods.
Still another outfit has been work
ing on a $.1.00 basis, with a bonus of
a lot of worm medicine thrown in.
Now, Mr. Farmer, perhaps you will
think I mu officious and perhaps you
will think I uni trying to'work" you,
so I want to say to you right now
that I have NO condition powders
and no stock foods to sell you. We
him aot now and never have had any
in tiie house. I make them up when
desired from receipts that the custom
ers brings in to be filled. The reas
on why I do not sett them is that
they are AHSOLUTELY ANI> TOTAL
LY WORTHLESS.
If there is a package condition
powder or stock food on the market
that has one cent's worth of merit to
fifty cents' worth of price I do not
know of it. Most of them are made
up of any old tiling that will make
hulk and weight and that will not kill
the animal. I have been told by a
manufacturer of pharmaceuticals—and
l have confidence in his statements
that they sold all their waste and
icfuse drugs after extracting the med
icinal principals to a prominent man
ufacturer of stock foods.
Some of these powders have been
found to contain cedar saw dust and
ground coal. Now In order to back
up my statement and to show you
how badly you are "worked" when
you buy this stuff, 1 wilt go through

a list of drugs that ah' usually used
and till you what each one amounts
to. I am writing for your benefit, Mr.
Fanner, on a sweltering hot day and
I you can afford to read it to the end.
Especially I wish to warn you against
the condition powders sold from
peddlers' wagons and exploited by
such operators as 1 have spoken of
; above. These goods (bulk or pack
age), are even worse than package
goods sold in the drug stores.
I know how hard it is to resist
a glib talker who claims the earth
and fairly proves his claim by wav
ing the title deeds in your face in
the shape of testimonials to wonder
ful cases, but remember he sells
YOU when he sells the medicine.
Don't believe any published testi
monial. I can put up cedar saw-dust
and ground coal alone and get testi
monials to its curative power. Nowj
let us look at the drugs usually put,
into horse powders and stock foods, j
Fenugreek—This is a powdered
seed with a peculiar odor that makes
the buyer think he Is getting the|
worth of tiis money, but It. 1ms no
medical value whatever.
lllack Antimony—This drug lias
had a popular reputation for many j
years ns a veterinary remedy, but for]
at least thirty years the so-called
black antimony that lias been sold'
and used in condition powders lias
been all or nearly all ground anthra
cite coal and it is u good thing for
the stock that it. was so. Black anti
mony is the sulphide of antimony and
would have nearly the same effect as
copperas IK IT WAS DEPENDABLE.
It isn't dependable, The dyspensatory
says “It is so very uncertain in act
ion that it ought not to be u^ed in
practical medicine.” Some good
Samaritan of the past discovered
that anthracite was safer than anti
mony and that is what has been go
ing into condition powders since
that time. Since the pure food law
It 1ms been called "Horse Medley.”
Kosin—Common rosin sometimes
called Colophony, is rarely used In
ternally in rational medicine and is
now entirely abandoned as having
little or no medical value.
Sodium Chloride—Common salt—
used to get the animal to eat it.
Glauber Salts—A good cathartic but
not as good as Epsom salts. A cath
artic 1h very desirable but it is Im
possible to get enough salts into the
ordinary dose of condition powders
to do any good.
Oil Cake Meal -This has some
merit as food lint, not much value as
medicine, because the oil is all
taken out of it.
Alum Astringent; a very bad ad
dition to any condition powder.
Sodium bi-carbonate—Baking soda,
useful for acidity of stomach.
Potassium Nitrate—Salt Petre—a
very good diuretic, which acts mild
ly upon the kidneys.
Sulphur -An alterative, slightly
laxative; is a good addition to any
powder.
Charcoal An anti-acid; in small
quantities not a bad addition.
(linger- a Stomachic; should bo
used only in small quantities.
Copperas —Sulphate Iron—a tonic.
Copperas- Sulphate ol' Iron—a ton
ic. also a vermifuge. Not a bad ad
dition. but being cheap entirely too
much is usi'd.
Gentian—A vegetable bitter tonic.
Capsicum—Red pepper. This should
only in' list'd in colic or known stom
ach or intestinal disorders. It will
derange the action of the stomach in
any animal if long continued.
Cautharades—Spanish Fly. A very
. bail thing to use because liable to
produce stranguary. Horse trad
ers use it to make the animal “show
j up for sale. It is a dangerous drug
but is used in some condition pow
J ders.
Scrap Tobacco—An intestinal irri
tant. Not beneficial but injurious.
These drugs are the ones used in
nine-tents of the condition powders
and stock foods, besides a lot of
waste and inert stuff. Now suppose
we cut out all the useless and danger
ous drugs and we would have a con
dition powder something like this:
Copperas—4 ounces.
Sulphur—S ounces.
Salt Petre—4 ounces.
Gentian—4 ounces.
Sodium Bi-corbonate—4 ounces.
Ginger—4 ounces.
A good addition to this, if the ani
mal is badly run down is powdered
nux vomica, 2 ounces. This mixed
powder as given above can
be given in two or three table
spoonful doses once or twice a day.
It is better than anything you can
buy in package goods or from agents.
It must be renieAbered that in
treating an animal you must first find
out what is the matter and then give
medicine adapted to that disease.
Sometimes you can' not determine
what is the matter and this powder is
a good remedy for many minor ail
ments. it is elliminative and altera
tive. Of course it is better to con
sult a veterinary and get treatment
adapted to the case, if you can not
do that, this powder will serve you
well.
Don't buy manufactured stock
foods or condition powders. They
are only made to sell.
