SPAWN RING-BoNE. ETC.. WITH
METHODS OF TREATMENT.

METHODS OF TREATMENT.
The horse is our noblest domestic
animal, perfect III structure, imposing
in appearance, full of intelligence and
when kindly treated giving i'll return
an affection almost human in its ma
ttlre, and performing to the last point
of endurance the tasks imposed, and
we may add is too 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 disfgured for life and rendered more
or less unfit for service by ugly spav-
ms, unsightly ring-bones, spllnts, etc.
Sometimes these difficulties are not OF
a serious nature, that IS, do not lame
the horse, or make any material diff
ference in the ability for performing
work on the farm but such animals
are rendered unstable, or ii disposed
of, it must be at sacrifice of price.
Generally, however, the horse is per-
manently famed, unless the cause IS
removed, which is very seldom-and
often entirely ruined for travel or
work.
Spavins are most generally produced
by strain or overwOrk in drawing.
The bony excreScence or substance of
which it is composed will grow quite
fast and sometimes give the appear
ance 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 sue
cess. Clustering is generally resorted
to when anything is attempted, ana
Will in some cases, when properly per-
formed, stop the growth Of the spawn
but will not remove the bunch already
formed or cure the lameness, besides
the process is a painful one producing
soreness and rendering the horse more
or less unfit for service.
Some four years ago DR.. b. j. Ken
dali, OF Enosburgh Falls, VT, having
horse troubled with SPAWN tried
blistering to cure it. The operation
appeared so painful and unsatisfactory
that ii was abandoned with the belief
that remedy less torturing in its ap-
plication and more certain in its Ell
feet might be devised. Accordingly
the doctor set himself to work, and
being a practical physician and drug
gist, succeeded in preparing remedy
that since it's 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-
IN Cure, as the remedy is termed, had
been used with good effect, | took
some pains to ascertain the facts III
the case. and reported the same for
several of our leading agricultural
journals. / give a few instances TO
which / am personally knowing. Mr..
r. A. Gaines, of Berkshire, VT, own
ed a valuable horse having SPAWN
of the size of half a hens egg, and
producing severe lameness. After
trying the usual remedies with no eff
feet. learning of s'Kendall's SPAWN
Cure a bottle was obtained and used
according to directions. The applica-
ton produced no blister, did not ap-
pear to be painful. and left no scar or
callous. 4 one dollar bottle was used
and it cured the SPAWN, stopping 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 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 appearances as the 9th
er.
Mr.. n. F. Weld, also of Berkshire,
VT. treated a bad case of SPAWN with
this remedy and in six weeks the
IameneSS 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. Simp-
kins of West Enosburgh, VT, has had
an experience similar to the above,
and others might be given, but these
may be considered Sufficient to estab-
lish the fact of the curative powers
of this remedy, and also, which is
equally important. the pernanence OF
the cure; the relief afforded being not
temporary, but lasting In effect.
Equal success has been had with
"Kendall's SPAWN Cure in the treat
ment of splints, curb, Tlng-bone, bruis-
es. strains of the different kinds cal
lOus, etc. | wish to call particular
attention to this as a human method
of treatment, the REMEDY, while it is
efficient in operation yet does not pro-
duce pain or soreness, as is the case
with most applications. This feature
is deserving Of notice and is receiving
commentator from many prominent
gentlemen in this country, among
whom ! would mention Mr.. Charles a
Currier. special agen. for the Massa-
ehusetts society for the prevention
of cruelty to animals, Boston, MaSSa'
chusetts, and others.
Although this remedy was original
ly designed for the treatment of hors-
es, yet it has been used for human all
iments, such as different forms OF rllu-
mdtisIn or deep seated pains Of long
standing, with equally good effect.
.'Kendall's SPAWN Cure" has been
introduced throughout themo5t Of this
country. and is beng put into the
hands of all the leading wholesale
druggists from whom il may be OBJ
tanned, or through WHOM it may be
ordered through every druggist. DIR.
Kendall has also compiled small
work or Treaties on the Horse and
his Diseases. of about 100 pages, fully
illustrated, and giving IN small COM
pass a large amount Of useful infor
nation, free from all technical terms
and which viii be worth many times
its cost Of twenty-five cents TO all own
ers of horses. Something of the favor
with which this work is being receiy-
ed by the public may be inferred from
the fact that one hundred thousand
copies or over, have been sold since
April last. Should any one desire
