Gargling Oil

Important to the Farmer, Farrier, and Stage Proprietor.
Geo. W. Merchant’s Celebrated Gargling Oil.
Unparalleled in the History of Medicine as the most remarkable External Application ever discovered for Horses and Human Flesh!
Caution to Purchasers.

This Oil has become so celebrated in the treatment of diseases of the horse, and as a consequence the demand becoming great throughout the country–that the cupidity of designing men has induced them to palm off upon unsuspecting persons, an imitation article for the Genuine Gargling Oil; designing thus to ride their base mixture into market upon the popularity of the only true article, which now sustains an enviable reputation, which it has acquired by more than fourteen years’ use in the United States and Canada.

It is allowed by farriers and all who have used it, to be decidedly the best application for horses and other domestic animals, of any now in use, and may be used as an internal remedy in some cases, with surprising results.

A faithful trial of this remedy will satisfy any person that the many cures it proposes to perform are neither magnified nor misrepresented.

The following among many others, in the cure of which this Oil has been completely successful, and in which other pretended remedies had entirely failed:–

Spavins, Sweeney, Ringbone, Windgalls, Poll Evil, Callous, Cracked Heels, Galls of all kinds, Fresh wounds, Sprains, Bruises, Fistula, Sitfast, Sand Cracks, Strains, Lameness, Foundered Feet, Scratches or Grease, Mange, Rheumatism, Bites of Animals, External Poisons, Painful Nervous Affections, Frost Bites, Boils, Corns, Whitlows, Burns and Scalds, Chilblains, Chapped Hands, Cramps, Contraction of the Muscles, Swellings, Weakness of the Joints, Caked Breast, &c.

Remarkable Power which the Gargling Oil possesses in reducing Morbid Animal Fungus, or Excrescences.

Extract of a letter, dated Sunbury, Pa., Aug. 2, 1850.

Dr. G. W. Merchant–SIR–I must relate a new case in which your Gargling Oil has done great things.

I heard a man telling to-day that his little girl had a sore knee that had had a thick scab on for a long time. He had a Doctor attending it, but he could do nothing with it. What it was I do no know, but the scab was from a half, to one inch thick, and covered the whole knee-pan. He said he had the Gargling Oil in the house, and it struck him that it might cure. He put it on, and in two days, half the scab came of[f]. He then applied it the second time, and in a day or two the other half came off, and he found a new skin coming on it, with the exception of a few places. He applied it the third time and now she is perfectly well of it.

P. B. MASSER.

Extract of a letter ordering a new supply of Gargling Oil, dated, North Bergen, N. Y., Aug. 20, 1850.

Dr. G. W. Merchant–SIR–I have sold all but one bottle of the Gargling Oil you sent me. It gives most excellent satisfaction to every one to whom I have sold, whether they use it as a common Liniment in their families or on their horses.

Please send me two dozen of each size bottles, as I think I shall sell it in about that proportion.

Respectfully,
D. F. MERRILL
