SPAWN. Ring Bone, Etc, with
Methods of Treatment.

The horse is our nobest domestic
animal. perfect in structure. imposing
ia appearance, full of intelligence aud
when kindly treated giving 10 return
an affection almost human in its nature.

durance The tasks imposed. aud we may
add is too often subjected to the hardest
and harshest usage of any of our AMI
mails. and probably for this reason is the
most liable to disease aud blemisbes.
Many an other wise valuable horse is
dis6gured for life and rendered more or
less unfit for service By ugly spavins
unsightly ring bones. splints. ETC.
Sometimes these difficulties are not of
serious nature, that is, do not lame the
horse, or make any material difference
in the ability for performing work on
the tarm but such animals are rendered
uusaleable. or il disposed of. it must be
at sacrifice of price. Generally, how
ever. the horse is permanently famed,
unless tho cause is removed, which is
veIy SELDOM aud often entirely ruined
for travel OF work
Spavins are most generally produced
BY a strain or overwork in drawing.
The bOny exorescence or substance Of
which it is composed of will grow quite
fast aud sometimes give the appearance
Of an enlarged joint, aud 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 generally resorted to when any
thing is attempted. aud 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 proc Is is
a painful one producing soreness aud
rendering the horse more or less unit

Some four years ago DR.. b J. Ken
dali Of EoosbuIgh Falls. VT. having q
horse troubled with spawn tried blister
ing to cure it. The operation appeared
so painful and unsatisfactory that it was
abandoned with the belief that remedy
less torturiDg in its effect might be de-
vised. Accordingly the Doctor set him
self to work. and being q practical ply
stefan and druggist. succeeded 10 pre-
psriog a remedy that since its ictroduc-
ton to public notice, has achieved a
success that is of the most satisfactory
character. About three years since

termed, had been used with good effect.

several Of our leading agricultural jour

Berkshire, VT, owned a valuable horse hav-
ing a spawn of the size of half hens egg,
and producing severe lameness. After try
ing the usual remedies with no effect, learn

was obt4ined and used according to direc.

ing, did not appear to be painful, and left no
scar or calious. A oRe dollar bottle was
used and it cured the SPAWN, stopping the
l"meness and removing the bunch. exam

difference III the size of the joints and could
not tell upon which the SPAWN was located.
The horse has been work ed hard since and
upon examining him the second time a while

Mr.. n. F. Weld. also of Berkshire, VT,

horse has been worked hard. 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
su fiiciAnt TO establish t he fact of the cura-
tive powers of this rem sdy, and also, which
is equally important, the permanence of the
cure, the relief affordiug being not temper
