158 HORSE-TRAINING MADE EASY. 



One of these horses occupied a stall near to that 

 occupied by Dr. L.'s horse, which was valued at 

 $300. Soon after this visit, Dr. L.'s horse showed" 

 evidence of ozena, which rapidly degenerated into

 once more in successful operation, with new

 will meet with better fortune.

 ley, veterinary surgeons, both of whom confirmed 

 my opinion. Mr. W., not wishing to destroy 

 the norse, desired me to experiment with him ic
