Treatment.
The horse is our noblest domestic animal, psr.
feet in structure, imposing in appearance full OF
intelligence and when kindly treated giving in
return an affection almost human In its nature,
and performing to the last point Of endurance
the tasks imposed, and We may adj is too often
subjected to the hardest and harshest usage OF
any Of our animals, and probably for this reason
10 the most liable To disease and blemshes.
Many IN otherwise valuable horse is dis.'g
ured for life and rendered more or less unfit for
Service by ugly spayins unsghtly ring bones,
splints, etc. Sometimes these difficulties are not
OF serious nature, that Ia, do not lame the horse,
or make any material difference in the ability for
performing the work on the farm, but such ami.
mails are rendered unsaleabe, or il disposed Of,
it must be at sacrifice OF price Generally, how
ever, the horse is permanently famed, unless the
cause is removed, which is very sedom-and Of
ten entirely ruined for travel or work,
Spavins are most generally produced by St ain
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 attended to in sea-
son will soon become difficult to manage. Many
remedies have been devised for this difficulty,
but usually with very indifferent success. Bills
tering is generally resorted to when anything is
attempted, and will in some cases, when proper
ly performed, stop the growth of the SPAWN, but
will not remove the bunch already formed or
cure the lameness, besides the process is pain
full one producing soreness and rendering the
horse more or less unfit for service.
Some four years ago DR.. B. j. Kendall, OF Enos
burgh Falls, VT, having horse troubled with
SPAWN, tried blstering to cure 1t. The opera
ton appeared SO painful and unsatisfactory that
it was abandoned with the belief that remedy
less tOrturing in its application and more certain
in its effect might be devised. Accordingly the
Doctor set himself to work, and being prac.
tical physician and druggist succeeded in pre-
pairing a remedy that since its introduction to
public notice, has achieved success that is Of
the most satisfactory character. About three
years since, hearing of several cases where "ken-
dalps Spawn Cure" as the remedy is termed,
had been used with good effect l took some
pains to ascertain the facts in the case, and re-
ported the same for several OF our leading agri.
cultural journals. give few instances to which
! am personally knowing. Mr. X. A. Gaines, of
Berkshire, VT, owned valuable horse having y
SPAWN Of the size Of half hens egg, and pro-
ducing severe lamencss. After trying the usual
remedies with no effect, learning Of "Kendall's
SPAWN Cure" u bottle was obtained and used ac-
cording to directions. The application pro.
duced no blistering, did not appear to be
painful, and left no scar or callOus. A one
dollar bottle was used and it cured the
spawn, stopping the lameness and re-
moving the bunch. ! examined the legs care
fully 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
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 aud perfect to all appear
ances the other.
Mr. n. F. Wild also of Berkshire VT treated
bad case of SPAWN with this remedy and in six
weeks the lamness 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 Ill; nf Tn uh,,rpr hnc had
an experience similar to the above and others
might be given, but these may be considered suf-
fcient to establish the fact OF the curative pow
ers of this remedy, and also, which is equally
important, the permanence of the cure; the re-
lief afforded being not temporary, but lasting in
Effect Equal success has been had with "Ken-
ialps SPAWN Cure" in the treatment Of splints,
,urb, ring-boRe, bruises, strains OF different
Kinds calOus, etc. l wish to call particular at
ention to this as a humane method OF treatment, |
he remedy, while 1t is efficient in operation yet
loes not produce pain or soreness, as is the case
With most applications. This feature is deserv-
ng Of notice and is receiving Communications !
rom many prominent gentlemen in this country, |
mong whom | would mention Mr.. Charles A. !
jurrier, special agent for the Massachusetts, So
iety for the presentation Of cruelty to animals, |
'oston, Massachusetts and Others
Although this remedy was originally designed |
or the treatment of horses, yet it has been used
or human ailments, such as different forms Of
heuinatlsm, OF deep seated pains OF long stand
ng, with equally good effect.
"Kendall's SPAWN Cure" has been introduced
throughout most Of this country, and is being
ut into the hands Of all of the leading whole
ale druggists from whom it may be obtained, or
trough whom it may be ordered by every drug
st. DR.. Kendall has also compiled small
york or treatise on the Horse and his Diseas
S " Of about 100 pages, fully illustrated and
living in small compass large amount of
seful information, free from all technical terms
nd which will be worth many times its cost, of
twenty-five cents, to all owners of horses. Some
hing of the favor with which this book is being
eceived by the public may be inferred from the
act that one hundred thousand copies or over
ave been sold since April last Should anyone
esirc further information upon any matter con-
aimed in this article, they will please address Dr.
