532 PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. 



The noted horse Jet (Case No. 7, Subjection) was not 

 only broken for nothing, but in the seriously impaired con- 

 dition of my health at the time, was the cause of an amount 

 of strain and injury to me that I would not have been in- 

 duced to incur for many hundreds of dollars. I was not 

 only compelled to go to Portland and remain there over a 

 week at my own expense, but to admit nearly a hundred 

 leading citizens without charge to witness the experiments 

 as a reference which could not be questioned. In addition 

 to making the experiments, there was also an element of 

 danger not to be estimated. It was a common expression 

 in Portland, that there was not money enough in any bank 

 in the city to induce any man to go into Jet's stable and 

 take him out of it. After the subjection of the horse it was 

 unanimously voted that owners of horses could not afford 

 to be without a knowledge of my system, even though at 

 a cost to each of $25. I include here the names of a few 

 of the leading citizens who were present : —

 scott Park Association.
