and performs to the last point of endur-
ance the tasks imposed, and we may
add is too often subjected to the hard
est and harshest usage of any of our an
imals, and probably for this reason is
the most liable to diseases and blem-
ishes.
Many an otherwise valuable horse is
disfgured for life and rendered more
or less unfit for service by ugly spavins,
unsightly ring-bones, splints, etc.
Sometimes these difficulties are not of
a serious nature, that is, do not lame
the horse, or make any material differ
ence in the ability for performing work
on the farm but such animals are rem
dered unstable, or If disposed of it
must be at sacrifice of price. Gener-
ally, however, the horse is permanently
MANNED, unless 1.-THE cause Is removed,
which is very seldom-and often entire
ly ruined for travel or work.
Spavins are most generally produced
by q strain or overwork in drawing.
The bony excrescence or substance of
which it is composed will grow quite
fast and sometimes give the appearance
of an enlarged joint, and unless attend
ed to in season will soon become diff
cult to manage. Many remedies have
been devised for this difficulty, but u.s.
ually with very indifferent success.
Blistering is generally resorted to when
anything is attempted, and will i'll some
cases, when properly performed, stop
the growth of the SPAWN but will not
remove the bunch already formed or
cure the lameness, besides the process
is painful one, producing!soreness and
rendering the horse more or less unfit
for service.
Some four years ago DR.. B. ]. Ken
dali of Enosburgh Falls, VT, having a
horse troubled with SPAWN, tried bis
tering to cure it. The operation ap-
peared so painful and unsatisfactory
that it was abandoned with the belief
that remedy less torturing in its ap-
plication and more certain in its effect
might be devised. Accordingly the
doctor set himself to work, and being a
practical physician and druggist, sue
ceeded IN preparing a remedy that since
its introduction to public notice, has
achieved a success that is of the most
satisfactory character. About three
years since, hearing of several cases
where "Kendall's SPAWN Cure" as the
remedy is termed, had been used with
good effect, took some pains to ascer-
tain the facts in the case, and reported
the same for several of our leading ag-
ricultural journals. give a few in
|, stances to which am personally know
ing. Mr.. II. A. Gaines, of Berkshire,
VT, owned valuable horse having a
SPAWN of the size of half hens egg,
and producing severe lameness. After
= irving the usual remedies with no eff
f feet, learning of "Kendalrs SPAWN
G Cure" bottle was obtained and used
a according to directions. The applica-
. ton produced no blistering, did not ap-
: per to be painful and left no scar or
callous. A one dollar bottle was used
] and it cured the SPAWN, stopping the
S lameness and removing the bunch. /
examined the legs carefully and could
D find 10 difference in the size of the
e Joints, and could not tell upon
e which the SPAWN was located. The
: horse has been worked hard since and

t four years, was pleased to find no re-
i turn of the difficulty in any shape or
manner; one leg is sound and perfect

G Mr.. n. f. Weld, also of Berkshire,
+ VT, treated bad case of SPAWN with
this remedy and in six weeks the lame
: ness was gone, the bunch nearly re.
n moved and he considered the horse
e cured. There has been no return of
Y the difficulty since, although the horse
: has been worked hard. A. A. Simkins
y of West Enosburgh, VT, has had an ex-
:, perience similar to the above, and 9TH
ers might be given, but these may be
considered sufficient to establish the
fact of the curative powers of this rem
: edy, and also, which is equally import
{ ant, the permanence of the cure; the
:. relief afforded not being temporary, but
lasting in effect. Equal success has
y been had with "KendalPs SPAWN Cure"
d in the treatment of splints, curb, ring
c bone, bruises, strains of different kinds,
# callous, etc. / wish to call particular
attention to this as humane method
: of treatment, the remedy, while it is eff
C Gcient in operation yet does not pro-
J. duce pain or soreness, as is the case
d with most applications. This feature is
deserving of notice and is receiving
Y commentator from many prominent
V gentlemen in this country, among
:, whom would mention Mr.. Charles A.
If Currier, special agent of the Massa-
d chusetts society for the prevention of
1t cruelty to animals, Boston, Massachu-
sets, and others.
st Although the remedy was originally
n designed for the treatment of horses,
g vet it has been used for human aili-
ID ments, such as different forms of rheu-
c. matism. or deep seated pains of long
* standing, with equally good effect.

introduced throughout the most of this
lie country, and is being put into the hands
of all the leading druggists,
to from whom it may be obtained, oil

c. many times its cost, of twenty-five
G. cents, TO all owners of horses. Some
ly thing of the favor with which this work
