performed, stop the growth OF the SPAWN
but will not remove the bunch already

process is a painful one, producing sore

Some tour years ago DR.. B. J. Kendall
Of Enosburgh Falls, VT, having a:sh"rse
troubled with SPAWN tried blistering to
cure 1t. The operation appeared 9" pain
full and unsatisfactory that it was aaban-
u"ned with the belief that a remedy less
torturing in Its application and o
certain in its effect might be devised.
Accordingly the Doctor set himself to
work, and being a practical physician
and druggist, succeeded in preparing q
remedy that since its introduction to
public notice has achieved n success that
is of the most satisfactory character.
About three years since, hearing of sew

as The remedy is termed, had been ust d
with good effect, / took some pains 10

agricultural journals. l give a few in
stances to which I am personally know.
ing. Mr.. r. A Gaines, of Berk shire, W.T.,
owned u valuable horse having a SPAWN
of the size OF half a hens egg, and pro-
ducing severe lameness. After trying the
usual remedies with no effect, learning Of
|"Kendall's Spawn Cure" q bottle was
obtained and used according to directions.
The application produced no blisterlng,
did not appear 10 be painful, and left no
scar or callOus. A one dollar bottle was
used and it cured the SPAWN, stopping
the lameness and removing the bunch. I
examined the legs carefully and could
find nc difference in the size ut the joints,
and Could not tell upon which the spawn
was located. The horse has been worked
hard since and upon examining him the
second time a while since, after an inter-
val ut three Or four years, was pleased to
find no return Of the difficulty in any
shape or manner; one leg is as sound aud
perfect TO all appearances as the other.
Mr.. N. F. Weld, also Of Berkshire, w.,
treated a bad case OF SPAWN with this
remedy and in SIX weeks the lameness
was gone, the bunch nearly removed and
he considered the horse cured. There
has been no return of the difficulty since,
although the horse has been worked hard.
A. A. Simpkins Of West Enosburgh, w.,
has had experience similar to the above,
and others might be given. but these may
he considered sufficient to establish the
fact of the curative powers Of this remedy,
and also, which is equally important, the
permanence Of the cure; the relief afford.

"Kendall's SPAWN Cure" has been in
country, and is being put into the hands
OF all the leading wholesale Druggists
from whom it may be obtained, or
every druggist. DR.. Kendall has also
complied a small work or "Treatise on
the Horse and his Diseases" of about 100
pages, fully illustrated, and giving IN a
small compass a large amount Of useful
information, free from Ill technical terms
and which will be worth many times its
cost, of twenty five cents, to all owners 1T
horses. Something Of the favor with
which this work IS beng received by the
public may be inferred from the fact that
one hundred thousand copies or over
