THE horse's rescfe. 273 



My advice did not stop his bugle. He kept it 

 going. That helped me. Mine could rest a little. 

 This is making a little start in this place, sure. Said 

 Jo : "I have got a six-year-old mare ; her legs stock 

 up behind ; one is swollen very bad. . I have used 

 lots of liniments. I cannot take it out. She inter- 

 feres badly, too. I have shod her heavy and light, in 

 all ways I can think of, but it has all done no good.'' 



" Put a pair of spreaders on her, Joe ; put the struc- 

 ture of her feet in harmony of action, and the swell- 

 ing will leave so quick the skin will be all loose on 

 her legs. It will stop her cutting her legs off at the 

 same time." 



She was soon in the shop. Joe did this work him- 

 self. We spread her feet, and hitched her to the 

 wagon. It threw her on her base, and she traveled at 

 once about eight inches apart. The swelling did go 

 out, and left the skin loose. So much money thrown 

 away for liniments. This will work the same on a 

 large per cent of all the horses on this globe. This 

 fever has its rise from internal heat in the foot, caused 

 by being out of harmony of action. It is not neces- 

 sary any longer to write all the particulars about how 

 I worked on the different horses in this city. The 

 principles are already laid down in this work ; that is, 

 as far as I had got at that time. I made some new 

 discoveries after I left this city. 



For six weeks brother Joseph -and myself battled 

 for the horse early and late. During this time we op- 

 erated on quite a number of horseti. It did not seem 

 to get advertised, and this was the reason the people 

 would get their horses cured and say nothing about it
