SPAWN, Ring-B0ne, Etc., With Method
OF Treatment.
From Farm and Fireside.

The horse is our noblest domestic animal.
perfect in structure, imposing in appearance,
full of intelligence and when kindly treated
given in return and affection almost human
in It's nature, and performing to the last
point of Endurance the tasks imposed, and
we add is to often subjected to the hardest
and harshest usage of any of our animals,
and probably for this reason is the most
liable to disease and blemishes.
Many an otherwise valuable horse is dis
figured for life and rendered more or less
unit for service by ugly spavine, unsightly
rIng-bones, splInts, etc. Sometimes these
difficulties are not of a serious nature that
is do not lame the horse, or make any ma
terial differnce in the ability for performing
work on the farm but such animals are rem
dered unsaleable, or if disposed of, it must
ba at a sacrifice of price. Generally, how
ever, the horse is permanently famed, unless
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 overwerk IN drawing. The bony
.excrescenee or substance Of which it is com
posed will grow quite fast and sometimes
gives the appearance of an enlarged joint,
and unless attended to in season will soon
become difficult to manage. Many remedies
have been devised for this difficulty, but
usually with very Indifferent success Blister
ing is general resorted to when ANYTHING is
attempted, and viii in some cases, when
properly performed, stop the growth of the
SPAWN but will not remove the bunch al
ready formed or cure the Iameness, besides
the process is a painful one producing sore
ness and rendering the horse NOR less unfit
for service.
Some four years ago DR.. 3. j. Kendall of
Enosburgh Falls, VT, having a horse troub-
led with SPAWN tried blistering to cure it..
The operation appeared 50 painful and I'M
satisfactory 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 a practical
physician and druggist, succeeded in prepar-
ing 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 Spav n Cure, as the rem
edy is termed, had been used with good eff
feet I took some pains TO ascertain the facts
in the case, and reported the same for sew
erl of our leading agricultural journals.

The application produced no blis:ering, did

has been worked hard since, and upon ex-
aminating him the second time a 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 appearance as
the other.
Mr.. n, f. Weld, also of Berkshire, VT,
| treated bad case of SPAWN with this rem
edy and in six weeks the lameness was gone,
the bunch nearly removed and he consider
| ed the horse cured. Therehas beeu no re-
turn of the difficulty since, although the
horse has been worked. A. A. Simpkins of
| West Enosburgh, VT, has had an experience
| similar to the above, and others might be
giAen, but these may be considered suf-
| ticient to establish the fact of the curative
powers of this remedy, and also, which is
equally important, the permanence of the
cure; the relief afforded being not Temporal
nv, but lasting in effect. Equal success has
been had with "Kendall's SPAWN Cure" in
the treatment of splints, cure, ring-bone,
| bruises, strains of different kinds, callous,
etc. l wish to call particular attention to
this as \ humane method of treatment, the
remedy, while it is efficient in operation vet
does not produce pain or soreness, as is the
case with most applications. This feature
is deserving of notice and is receiving com
mendatiOn from many prominent gentlemen
in this country, among whom l would men
ton Mr.. Chrrles a. Currier, special agen
for the Massachusetts, society for the peeyen
ton of cruelty to animals, Boston, Mass.
and others.
Although this remedy was originally de
signed for the treatment of horses, yet it ha
been used for human ailment, such as differ
ent forms of rheumatism, or deep seated
pains of long standing, with equally gooC
effect.
