SYMPTO:\IS.— The peculiar position assumed by 

 the patient while at rest. The posture is due to the 

 action of the adductor muscles, the lower part of 

 the leg being carried inward and the heel of the 

 shoe resting on the toe of the opposite foot. When 

 driven he will travel stiffly, with a sort of a side- 

 long gait, and, on being taken to the stall, will rest 

 with his toe pointing forward, the heel raised and 

 the hock flexed. A little heat and considerable in- 

 flammation soon appears. The lameness which ap- 

 pears in backing out of the stall ceases to be no- 

 ticeable after a short distance of travel. An ex- 

 amination of the hock will then begin to reveal 

 the existence of the lesion, a bony enlargement at 

 the junction of the hock and cannon bone, on the 

 inside and a little in front and tangible to both 

 sight and touch. As soon as you discover that 

 your horse is getting a spavin, you should proceed 

 at once to treatment and follow directions carefully. 



TREATMENT.— Apply Dr. TurnbuU's CURINE 

 the same as directed for ringbone, on page 5. If 

 taken in time you will get a permanent cure. If 

 allowed to fully develop you can remove the lame- 

 ness and sometimes the enlargement. When the 

 horse is lame give him absolute rest while treating 

 for spavin, ringbone, sprains, etc. 



Beware of those 24 and 48-hour spavin cures. 



BT.OOD SPAVINS AND THOROUGHPINS. 



The blood spavin, is situated in the front and a 

 little inward of the hock; the thoroughpin is formed 

 at the back and on the top of the hock. They are 

 round, smooth and well defined. In their general 

 characteristics these tumors are similar to wind-
