CHARLESTON, s. G., July 22, 1883.
DIR. B. j. KENDALL g. Co.-Dear Sira: Ipur-
chased at Louisville, KY, q very fine bred colt,
and in shipping he got his hook badly hurt on
the outside of the joint, which caused it to
swell three or four times the natural size,
which made him very lame. tried q great
many liniments which failed TO benefit the in
iured part. At last, when disgusted and ready
to give up the colt as ruined, happened to
see your advertisement of = KendaIps Blister
and SPAWN Cure and thought would give
it trial. I first applied the 9 Blister to the
hook, which by this time had become callous-
ed, and to my surprise found il worked like a
charm. In tWenty-fonr hours the part that
was hard became soft and the lameness began
to leave. then got some Of 9 KendalIs Spav-
in Cure and applied it according to direc-
tions. which has made q perfect cure, and the
colt is now as sound as any horse alive. j
merely write this letter to you, as think il q
duty owe TO you, and also for the good of the
public at large. The foregoing statement
will make affidavit to, and can also have the
same verified by the best horsenen in our
city who saw the colt befor6 and after treat.
