picnic at Rocky a few miles

themselves hugely. The banks

The large attendance on the

of SPAWN in Horses

EDITOR OF PRESBYTERIAN WEEKL Y:
The inquiry is often made in our Agri-
cultural and Family Journals concern :
ing remedy for SPAWN. This is dis
ease far too prevalent among horses,
owing, in great measure, to careless
ness in using, producing a strain by
hard drawing or continued Overwork
and the want of some reliable remedy
for its removal or cure before it has be-
come OIL long standing and the value OF
the animal materially lessened in con-
sequence
Dr.. b. J. Kendall, OF Enosburg Falls,
VT, some time since, treating a horse
for SPAWN In the usual manner by blis-
tering, finding that the application pro-
duced SO much soreness and pain, and
apparently no good, determined to in
vestigate the matter In order to find q
remedy il possible, that would produce

ing Two peculiar stakes-one, called
1.-The Derby" to be run for on the We'd
nesday; the other, still known as ''The
Oaks" to be contested tor on the FRI

Lord Derby's estate at EPSON was
known as "The Oaks" and the name
was thus given to "a race prize. Ii is
not unknown in literature.
Major General John Burgoyne, who
"came to griep SO fatally during our
War of Independence, when he had to

his command, to General Gates at Sara

called "The Maid OF the Oaks" which
was performed by members and friends
of the Derby family in 1880, the very
year in which "Ihe DerbJ" and "Tne
Oaks" were established. The stakes
in the former have amounted
10 nearly $4,000, and TO over $2O-
900 In the latter. ln the st. Leger, at
Doncaster, contended for in the autumn,
the stakes average $25,000, and in these
three contests the runners are three

The following letter from Rev. G. w. Mans
field formerly pastor Of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, Hyde Park, and at present settled
in Lowell, must convince every one who reads
his letter of the wonderful curative qualities
of Vegetine as thorough cleanser and puri-
fer of the blood: .... .. .'.
HYDE PARK, Mass, Feb. Is, 1876.
MR.. Fl. r. STEvENS-Dear Sir: About ten
years ago nv health failed through the de-
pleting effects of dyspepsia; nearly year
later was attacked by typhoid fever, in its
worst form; it settled IN my back and took the
form of a large deep-seated abscess, which
was fifteen months in gathering. l had two
surgical operations by the best skill in the
State, but received no permanent cure. lsuf-
fereo great pain at times, and was constant y
weakened by q profuse discharge l also lost
small pieces OF bone at different times.
Matters ran on thus about seven years, till
May, 1874, when friend recommended me to
90 to your Office and talk to you about the
virtue of Vegetine. l did 30, and by your
kindness pa. sed through your manufactory,
noting the ingredients, &C., by which your
BY whatI saw and heard gained some con-
ldcnce in Vegetine.
commenced taking it sson after, but felt
worse from its etfeGts;' but still persevered
and soon felt it was benefting me in other re-
spects. Yet did not see the results desired.
till had taken it faithfully for little more
than year, when the difficulty in the back
was cured, and for nine months have enjoyed
the best OF health.
Ihave in that tlmc gained twenty five pounds
in flesh. being heavier than ever before in my
life. and never was more able to perform la
Dor than now. During the past few weeks l
had a scrofulous swelling as large as my fist
gather on another part of my body. l took
Vegetine faithfully and it removed it level
with the surface in a month. 1 think l should
have been cured OF my main trouble sooner if
had taken larger doses, after having become
accustomed to It's effects.
Let your patrons troubled with scrofula or
kidney disease understand that 1t takes time
to cure chronic diseases, and If they will pa
tiently take Vegetlne, it will, in my judgment,
cure them. ., .l.
With great obligations am, yours very truly,

Pastor Of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
