 picable rascals, like quacks, contrive to live 

 by robbing the poor. It is some consolation, 

 however, that they are not nearly so numer- 

 ous as they were some years ago. Men of 

 respectability and information are gradually 

 pushing them out of the field. 



The dealer is not always in the wrong. 

 It is imagined by many purchasers, that the 

 warranty makes the seller responsible for 

 whatever may happen the horse for a certain 

 period after sale ; some say three weeks, some 

 three months, and others, still more rapacious, 

 would have it extend to six months. Now, 

 by referring to the article on warranty, it 

 will be seen that though the horse dies a 

 day, an hour, or even a minute after the 

 completing of the sale, yet the purchaser must 

 bear the whole of the loss, unless it can be 

 proved that the cause of death existed at the 

 moment of sale. Few men would be foolish 

 enough to warrant a horse, at any price, if the 

 law were such as it is so commonly supposed.
