JOSEPH BUTTER, SURGEON, Rose Street, begs leave to acquaint the sporting
gentlemen, farriers, and the public in general, that at his house (and no where else)
they may be supplied as usual, (for ready money only) with all his valuable articles in
Medicine for the different diseases of HORSES, so much esteemed for many years,
and formerly sold by him and his predecessor, Mr. PERKINS, in Gerrard-street, Soho,
London.---His Medicines in general are found, from experience, better adapted for the
relief of complaints in horses, than most others hitherto presented to the public, and
being reduced to such a certainty, his former friends and customers have petitioned
his renewal of the sale of them.---The articles are calculated for the different diseases,
and their prices, with proper printed directions, may be had as above.---All letters
(post paid) will be duly attended to and answered.---Mr. Butter continues his practice
in SURGERY and MIDWIFERY, as usual.
