Equine Nerves.

Horses are more or less timid; they
areinclined to magnify the unusual into
the terrible, and night and twilight
predisposes them to this nervous condi-
tion. Understanding or investigating
these things, however. often removes
all fear in horses mind. For in
stance, l have a pony which when first
put into harness could not be induced
to cross a railroad track until one day
l urged the beast to touch one of the
rails with his hoof. Finding it secure,
he willingly trusted the other foot, and
since then has never showed any fear
of the glisteninS rails. On the other
hand, once had mare which always
jumped over the long shadows of tree
trunks in the road, and could never be
induced to test whether or not the
dreadful things were real or imaginary.
Another curious illusion common among
horses is that when one has once struck
his head against the top Of stable
door he can never quite get over the
fear that there is something dreadful
hanging about the door. ready to strike
whenever he has to pass it.

everything that medical skill could sug-
gest to save his life, but they were at
last reluctantly forced TO tell him that
he must prepare for death.
His aunt had been summoned TO his
dying bedside. After the doctors had
given her nephew up. she insisted that
as Il last resort, he be given a treatment
of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
From the very first dose the tide
turned in his favor His life was saved.

while many others are being cured by
this great discovery in medicine. the

like these as 4 rule: -Felicitations.
