322 THE horse's rescue. 



To keep and prevent the cofQn-joint from separation, you see, 

 There is no use saying any more ; it is like this all the way through. 

 To spend my time with this baby trash I can't, I have other work 



to do. 

 Poor, delormed, and suffering, tortured horse of hundreds of years, 

 For many long years I have heard your cries and shed tears ; 

 And now I have got tliis work nearly completed and done, 

 And when it is finished, to your rescue I shall come. 

 No man on this green earth can intimidate me so. 

 That for your relief T dare not the same old bugle blow; 

 For I shall bo in the center and in the hottest of the fight, 

 No matter where or when nor what time, day or night. 

 No quarters will I give until I do away with some of the poor 



horses' abuse. 

 Tliere never was an effect without cause, of that you may be surcj 

 And the cause is removed with this science and that in the cure. 

 And now I am going to tell you what this science will do: 

 It will cure nearly all cripples, I will except only a few. 

 Of course there are cripples that the cause is not in their feet; 

 They can be crippled in many ways; I will assure you it is not 



what they eat. 

 You may ask. What is the reason this has not been done years 



ago? 

 I cannot tell you, sir, for the reason I do not know. 

 But there is one thing that I do know, of that I am very sure. 

 It cost me money and forty-one years' labor that was liard to en- 

 dure. 

 Of that I have only given you a sketch, a glance, a bird's-eye view- 

 Just enough to lay down principles to tell you this work how to do, 

 For in that way I do not want my time to spend. 

 I am ffettino- old now. of course my time here must suou end. 

 To perfect a great work experience has taught me it takes a long 



tin;ie. 

 And after it is done, to introduce it, it is the same I find. 

 This is the reason I do not want my time to fool away. 

 For I well know this great science cannot be introduced in a day. 

 This science is far in advance of the age, that I well know. 

 Of course I understand that it must spread very slow; 

 Ignorance is the great power ; against that it will have to contend ;
