SPAWN, Ring Bone, ETC., with Methods Of
Treatment
lFRoM FAM AND FIRRsIDR.

IRON FARM AND FIREsIDR,
The horse is our uoblest domestic animal,
perfect In structure, imposing in appearance,
full of intelligence and when kindly treated
giving IN return all affection almost human
in its nature, and performing to the last
point of endurance the tasks imposed, and
We may add is too often subjected to the
hardest and barshest usage OF any OF our an
imals, and probably for this reason is the
most liable to disease and blemishes.
Many an otherwise valuable horse is dis
figured Tor 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 ma
terial difference in the ability for performing
work on the farm but such animals are rem
dered unsuitable, or If disposed OF, It must be
at q sacrifice of price Generally, hawever,
the horse il permanently famed, unless the
cause is removed, which is very seldom-and
often entirely ruined for travei or work.
Spavins are most generally produced by
strain or overwOrk in drawing The bOny
excrescence or substance OF which it is COM
posed will grow quite fast and sometimes
give the appearance OF an enlarged joint, and
unless attended to in season will soon be-
come difficult to manage. Many remedies
have been devised for this difficulty, but US
ually with Indifferent success. clustering is
generally resorted to when anything is at
tempted, and will in some cases, when prop
erly performed, stop the growth OF the spav-
in 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
Tor service.
Some four years ago DIR. b. j. Kendall of
Enosburgh Falls, Vermont, having horse
troubled with SPAWN tried blistering TO cure
it. The operation appeared SO painful and
unsatisfactory that it was abandoned with
the belief that a remedy less tortlring in its
application and more certain III its effect
might he devised. Accordingly the Doctor
set himself to work, and being practical
physician and druggist, succeeded III pref ar
ing Il remedy that since Its introduction to
public notice, has achieved q success that is
OF the most satisfactory character. About
three years since hearing OF several cases
where 'Kendalfs SPAWN Cure, as the rem
edy is termed, had been used with good et-
lect took some pains to ascertain the facts
in the case and reported the same for several
OF our leading agricultural Journals. | give
few instances to which | am personally
knowing. Mr.. K. A. Gaines, of Berkshire,
v. T., oH ned valuable horse having spav.
i'll of the size of half hens egg, and pro-
ducing severe lameness. Alter trying the
usual remedies with no effect, learning Of
"Kendall's SPAWN Cure" a bottle was oh.
tanned ana used according to directions The
application produced no biisteIing, did not
appear to be painful, and left no scar or cal
lols A one dollar bottle was used and il
| 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 exam
ming him the second time while since,
after an interval OF three or four years, was
4 a
any shape or manner; one leg is as sound and
perfect to all appearances as the other.
Mr. N. +. Weld, also of Berkshire, V. T.
treated bad case OF SPAWN with this remedy
and III six weeks the lameness was gone, the
bunch nearly removed and he considered
the horse cured. There has been no return
OF the difficulty since, altough the horse has
been worked hard, A. A. Simpkins OF West
Enosburgh, v T., has had an experience
similar to the above, and others might be
given, hut these may be considered sufficient
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 beng not temporary, but last
ing i'll effect. Equal success has been had
with "Kendalls SPAWN Cure" in the treat
ment OF splints, curb, Fing-bone, bruises,
strains OF different kinds, calous, etc. wish
to call particular attention to this as hui
name method of treatment, the remedy,
While IL Is enlclent III operation yet uOes MOI
produce 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. Currer. special agent for the Massachus-
etts society for the prevention of cruelty to
animals, Boston, Massachusetts,, and others.
Although this remedy was originally de-
sig ned for the treatment of horses, yet it has
been used for human ailments, such as diff
ferent forms of rheumatism, or deep seated
pains OF long standing, with equally good
effect.
"Kendall's SPAWN Cure" has been intro
duced throughout the most OF this country,
and is being put into the hands of all the
leading wholesale druggists from whom it
may be obtained, or through whom it may
be ordered by every druggist. DR.. Kendall
has also compiled a small work or "Treatise
OF the Horse and his Diseases, /" of about 100
pages, fully illustrated. and giving in small
compass a large amount of useful informa-
ton, free from all technical terms aud which
will be worth many times its cost, oftwenty
five cents, to all owners of horses. Some
thing OF the favor with which this work is
being received by the public may be inferred
from the fact that one hundred thousand
copies or over have been sold since April last.
