260 THE horse's bescuk 



After working almost night and day through tliis 

 long, cold winter to demonstrate and satisfy myself 

 what could be done for old stiff horses of long stand- 

 ing, I found myself more than paid. I found in this 

 search that this science, if followed up, would perform 

 wonderful cures on all. This was to put the cap-sheaf 

 on all of my experimenting. It went beyond all my

Header, you may wonder where I got all my money 

 at that time aside from what I earned in my shop. It 

 was instalments and interest from a farm that I sold 

 that I was using to rescue the suffering horse. After 

 receiving my annual instalment, the next thing to be
