Medicine vs. Food
Do not buy something which
you already have. You have
food which you feed your
horses, cattle and sheep, but
when you want medicine, buy
only medicine. That is what
you get in B. A. Thomas’ Stock
Remedy. We sell it and guar
antee it to be medicine. We
tell you that it will tone up
the entire system of your stock
an aid digestion, thereby caus
ing them to get all the food
value out of the grain that
you feed them. Red Cross

The new passenger station
of the Missouri and North

the company in about 15 days.
