Mr. bLAaINE’s POWDER is the grand ſpecific. Its diſcovery is. in fa, one of the moſt conſiderable which have been made in veterinary medi- cine. Mr. B’s preparations, and his admirable litile BOOK on the DI8- TEMPER, ought to be kept conſtantly ready, in every family, in town or country, where there are dogs.
