262 THE HORSE^S RESCUE. 



I sailed for the city of Elmira to get it printed. The 

 printer read it over. I said to him : '' It's a big thing; 

 don't YOU think it is?" 



*' Yes ; but I do not believe it." 



"You will print the bills, I suppose, if I will pay 

 you?" 



''Yes." 



After arranging this bill with a cut of two fast- 

 sailing trotters at the head, I closed a bargain with 

 him to strike me off sixteen dollars' worth. After 

 this job was completed I sailed forHorseheads. After 

 my arrival I stood with my bundle of bills under mv 

 arm on the walk. A man drove up. He says to me : 



" Professor, one of my horses is lame ; the other is 

 getting wind-puffs on him." 



While I was talking with him there was a stranger 

 to me standing by. He heard our conversation. Af- 

 ter our talk was ended I turned to walk away. He 

 said to me, " Are you a veterinarian ?" 



" No ; I am not. I work on horses' feet. I have 

 done tbat for many years, and I have made some 

 quite big discoveries recently. I have been getting 

 some bills printed preparatory to traveling and lectur- 

 ing, and getting up schools to try and see if I can in- 

 troduce it." 



"Come to our place first. I am a veterinarian. I 

 will help you. I would like to travel with you. I 

 can cure spavins, ringbones, pole-evil, and thistloes. 

 I can work on the outside and pick up some money 

 that way. I will do all of the posting bills and secure 

 the halls to lecture in. If you will come to our place 

 I will take some of your bills now and put them up
