WITH METHODS OF cURE.

appearance. full of intelligence and |
wnen kindly treated giving in return
an affection almost humanin its nature,
and performing to the last point of en-
durance the task imposed. and we may ,
add is to often subjected TO the hardest
and harshest usage of any of our ami
mails, and probably for this reason Is Z
the most liable to disease and blelnishes.
Many an otherwise valuable horse is
disligured for life and rendered more or
less unfit for service by ugly spavins,
unsightly ring-bones, splints, etc.
Sometimes these difficulties are not of Il
serious nature, that is, do not lame the
horse, or make any material i'll the
ability for performing work on the |
farm but such animals are rendered UNI
saleable, or il disposed of, it must be at
a sacrifice of price. Generally, how |
ever, the horse permanently lamed, UNI |
less the cause is removed, which is very |
seldom--and often entirely ruined for
travel or work.
Spavins are most generally produced
by a strain or oveTwork in dra wing.
The bony eXcresence 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 ia season will soon become diff
cult to manage. Many remedies have
| been devised for these difficulties, but
| usually with very Indifferent success.
1 Blistering is generally resOrted to when
\ anything is attempted, and will in 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. j, Ken
dali of Enosburg 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
oeeded in preparing remedy thatsince
its introduction to public notice, has
achieved 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 as
certain the facts in the case. and re-
ported the same for several of our
leading agricultural journals. Igive a
few instances to which am personally
knowing. Mr.. Il. A. Gaines, of Berk-
shire, VT, owned a valuable horse
having a SPAWN of the size of half a
hens egg, and producing severe lame
ness. After trying the usual remedies
with no effect, learning Of "Kendall's
SPAWN Cure" bottle was obtained
and used according to directions. The
application produced no blistering 8 il
not appear to be painful, and left no
) scar or Gallons. A one dollar bottle
was used and it cured the SPAWN, stop
ping the lameness and removing the
bunch. | examined the legs carefully
and could find no difference in the
size of 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 while since, after an interval OF
: three or four years, was pleased to find
no return of the difficulty in any shape
or manner one leg is as sound and
perfect to all appearances as the other
Mr.. N. T. Weld, also of Berkshire
| VT, treated bad case of SPAWN with
this remedy and i'll six weeks the lame
ness was gone, the bunch nearly re.
moved and he considered the horse
cured. There has been no return oil
} the difficulty since, although the horse
{ has been worked hard. A. a. Simkins
of West Enosburgh, VT, has had al
experience similar to the above, and
Others might be given, but these may
be considered sufficient to establish
the fact of the curative powers of this
remedy, and also, which is equally i'm.
portant, the perInanence of the cure
the relief afforded being not tempo
rary, but lasting in effect. Equal sue
: cess has been had with "kendall's
SPAWN Cure" in the treatment o.
splints, curb, ring bone, bruises, strains
: of different kinds, callOus, etc. | wish
to call particular attention to this as a
humane method of treatment, thu
remedy, while it is efficient in opera
ton yet does not produce pain or sore
ness. as is the case with most applica
tions. This feature is deserving O
notice and is receiving commentator
from many prominent gentlemen il
this country, among whom [ would
mention Mr.. Charles A. Currier
. special agent for the Massachusetts
society for the prevention of cruelty tc
l animals, Boston, Massachusetts, anC
? Others.
Although this remedy was originally
designed for the treatment Of horses
: yet it has been used for human all
= ments, such as different forms O
rheumatism, or deep seated pains o
long standing, with equally good effect
"kendalls SPAWN Cure" has beer
introduced throughout the most o.
this country, and is being put into the
+ hands of all the leading wholesale
= druggists from whom it may be oh
| tanned, or through WHOM it may b,
| ordered by every druggist. DR.. Ken
dali has also complied Il small work o.
''Treatise on the Horse and his Dis
? cases." of about 1907 pages, fully
illustrated, and giving in a small com
pass large amount OF useful informa
ton, free from all technical terms anC
which will be worth many times it
cost, of twenty-five cents, to all owner
| of horses. Something of the favol
II with which this work is being received
, ny Iue puDllc may De inferred from Jlt
fact that one hundred thousand copies
or over have been sold since April last
