THE horse's KESCUE. 321 



Without burning and mutilating, to cure me 3'ou know not how. 

 If you can find a place around me that is the least bit sore, 

 The first thing will be to go at that, and sometimes make more. 

 Almost any fool the effect can nearly always find, 

 Unless he is a perfect blockhead and nearly blind. 

 If you can find all of the effects ; you have only half, you can see, 

 Burning, blistering, mutilating them will never cure me. 

 The suffering from this treatment has been hard to endure; 

 Added to all others, the cause you must remove in order to cure, 



my creator God I how I have had to be tortured and suffer ; 

 It has been a good thing for us all that we were not tougher. 

 How is such treatment as that going to put me on my base ? 



If you will and do it, I will take the back seat and give you the race; 

 You never have cured or helped ono horse treating them in this way 

 Either in ancient or modern times, or in any other day. 

 And if that is all you can do is to mutilate the effect, 



1 am better off without you, if my feet do contract. 

 I can get around a little if I am stiff, lame, and sore; 



When you get at me I am always a wreck six months or more. 



To work on you have no theory, principle, plan, or foundation ; 



It is doctor the effect, when you can't find it. and all is mutilation. 



You have been all over me, mutilating in many different ways, 



And all is wrong; not once have you seen where the cause all lies 



All you have done has been very great damage to me ; 



Spreading my feat at the top is all wrong, you can see. 



I have been worked on on the great Dunbar plan, 



That was recommended by that great joining of fallible being- — man. 



A great fulcrum of principles and science must then be made. 



"When to him for nothing twenty-five thousand dollars was paid, 



For there is not one thing laid down in that work to me of use ; 



It is all torture to me; no help; only mutilation and abuse. 



Spreading my feet at the too, that is wrong, you ought to know. 



That will throw my heels together; in doing so 



That will cause the sole to raise ; that throws me back still more 



Off of my base again. My cords, my God! how sore. 



And this is done so as to give the coffin-joint a little more play. 



Then it must be contracted again for fe.nr it should get too much 



and run away. 

 And the toe must bo kept as sho:-t as it can possibly be.
