SPPUNa KNEES. , 



The flexion of the knee may be a congenital de- 

 formity and have continued from the foaling of 

 the animal, or it may be the result of heavy labor 

 at too early an age, or it may appear from too much 

 substantial food and not sufficient exercise, and 

 as a whole the tendons become contracted. 



TREATMENT.— Paint with CURINE twice daily, 

 over the tendons on the back of leg, from a little 

 above the knee to pastern joint for one week, be- 

 ing careful to not get too much directly back of 

 the knee, as that being a very tender spot it may 

 become very sore. 



If at the end of one week, after you have stopped 

 using CURINE, no improvement is noticed, apply 

 again same as before. 



THUMPS— SPASM OF THE DIAPHRAGM. 



"Thumps" is generally thought to be a palpita- 

 tion of the heart. While palpitation of the heart is 

 sometimes called "thumps," it must not be con- 

 founded with this subject. A spasm of the dia- 

 phragm, the principle muscle used in respiration, 

 is generally caused by prolonged speeding on the 

 track or road. The severe strain upon this muscle 

 irritates the nerves controlling it, and the con- 

 tractions become violent and produces the jerking 

 character peculiar to this trouble. To distinguish 

 thumps from palpitation of the heart, place your 

 hand on the pulse at the angle of the jaw and 

 watch the jerking m.ovement of the body; you will 

 cee that the two have no relation to one another.

Gentlemen:— I have given both your Curine and 

 Hoofine a fair and impartial trial, and I consider 

 them both the most wonderful remedies that I have 

 ever used. MOSES MOSES.
