Many an otherwise valuable horse is
distigured for life and rendered more or
less unfit for service by ugly spavins,
unsighuy ring bones, sp)ints, etc. Some
times these difficulties are not of serious
nature, that is, do not lame the horse, or
make any material d itference in the abil-
ity for performing work on the farm but
such animals are rendered unsalcable, or
if disposed of, must be at sacrifice of
price. Generally, however, the horse is
permanently famed, unless the cause is
removed, which is very seldom-and often
entirely ruined for travel or work.
Spavins are NEST generally produced

for this difficulty, but usually with lndif
fe1ent success. Blis,erlng is generally
resorted to when anything is attempted,
and will in some cases, when properly
performed, stop ,he growth Of the SPAWN
but will not remove the bunch already
formed or cure the lameness, besides the
process is painful one producing sore

unfit for service.
Some four years ago Dr. J. B. Kendall,
of Enosburgh Falls, VT, having horse
troubled with SPAWN tned blistering to
cure it, The operation appeared so pam

is Of the most satisfactory character
About three years since, hearing of sew

Cure" as the remedy is termed, lad been
used with good effect, took some pains
to ascertain the facts in the case, and re-

ing. Mr.. Il. A. Gaines, of Berkshire, VT,
owned valuable horse having a SPAWN
Of the size Of half hens egg, and pro-
ducing severe lameness, After trying the
usual remedies with no effect, learning of
"Kenda|l's SPAWN Cure" a bottle was
obtained and used according to directions.
The application produced no blistering,
did not appear to be painful, and left no
used and ii cured the SPAWN, stopping
the lamcness and removing the bunch
| examined the legs carefully and could
and could not tell upon which the SPAWN
was located. The horse has been worked
hard since and upon examining him the
second time while since, after an inter-
val 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 other.
Mr.. N F. Weld, also Of Berkshire, Vt,
treated bad case Of SPAWN with this
remedy and in six weeks the lamencss
was gone, The bunch nearly removed and
he considered the horse cured. There has
been no return Of the difficulty since, a..
though the horse has been worked hard.
A. A. Simpkins Of West Enosburgh, VT,
has had an experience similaO to the
above, and others might be given, but
these may be considered sufficient TO es.ab.
lish the fact Of the curative powers of
this remedy, and also, which is equally
important, the permancnce Of the cure;
The relief afforded being not temporary,
but lasting in effect. Equal success b as
been had with "Kendall's Spawn Cure"
in the treatment of splints, curb, 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 yet does not produce pain
or soreness, lis is the case with most
applications. This feature is deserving
Of notice and is receiving commendati on
from many prominent gentlemen in this
Ctuuti', Among NNOlu L NOulu IueullOu
Mr.. Charles A. Currier, special agent for
the Massachusetts, society for the preve1l-
ton OF cruelty TO animals, Boston, Masss-
chusetts, and others.
Although this remedy was originally
designed for the treatment of horses, yet
it has been used for human ailments, such
as different forms of rheumatism, or deep
seated pains Of long standing, with equal
ly good effect
"Kendall's Spawn Cure" has been
introduced 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 drug
gist. Dr. Kendall has also compiled
small work or "Treatlse on the Horse and
his Diseases" Of about 100 pages, fully
illustrated, and giving in a small COM
pass a large amount of useful informa-
tion free from all technical terms and
which will be worth many times its cost of
twenty-five cents, TO all owners of horses.
Something Of the favor with which this
work IS received 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
