34 AUTOBIOGRAPHY. 



but steadily, he has progressed in his investigations respect- 

 ing the management of the horse, until the press, the pulpit 

 and the public acknowledge him to be the "Great Horse 

 Educator of the World." In fact he rules the horse by a 

 system so comprehensive, and at the same time so simple, 

 that a child of ordinary intelligence can understand it. 

 His pupils are numbered by the thousand in almost every 

 State, and they all endorse the system heartily. No matter how 

 badly the horse has been abused, no matter how disagreeable 

 his disposition may be, no matter if he kicks, strikes, bites, 

 or is a runaway, in a few minutes the most delicate lady or 

 timid child can manage him with ease by using Prof. Pratt 's 

 system. Ladies and gentlemen throughout the land ! nearly 

 every one has had a friend or relative injured or killed by 

 some unmanageable horse. It is within the power of every 

 person to prevent a like occurrence. " Knowledge is power." 

 Do not neglect the opportunity of acquiring this knowledge. 

 We ask it in no selfish spirit. We urge it that a recurrence 

 of the accidents that are every day filling our land with sor- 

 row may be prevented.
