Horses with high legs, from three to seven years of 

 age, are most liable to it. 



TREATMENT. In the earlier stages, while the 

 lameness is yet recent, and little or no swelling has 

 appeared, bathing the joint with THE MARVEL or 

 ARNICA, and giving the SPAVIN SPECIFIC, B B, 

 night and morning, doses of fifteen drops will be 

 sufficient to remove the lameness and generally 

 prevent the swelling. When the swelling is still 

 soft and recent, bathing the joint with THE MARVEL 

 or ARNICA, and giving the SPAVIN SPECIFIC, B B, 

 night and morning, will reduce the swelling and re- 

 Jeve the lameness. 



In all other cases of spavin, whatever may be its 

 particular form or situation, give fifteen drops of the 

 SPECIFIC for SPAVIN, B B, each morning and night, 

 see that the legs are well rubbed, with but moderate 

 daily work or exercise. The pain, lameness, and 

 subsequent exudation of bony matter depend upon 

 the affection of the ligaments of the joint. This 

 being relieved, the whole affection disappears. All 

 recent and soft spavins may be successfully treated 

 thus, and even the most inveterate ones will be re- 

 lieved and benefited. It is not pretended or pre- 

 sumed that old chronic years' standing spavins, 

 when there are extensive ossific dispositions or 

 necrosis, are to be cured or caused to disappear by 

 this or any medicine. But all those incipient cases 

 may be thus cured.
