There are also three patents covering important methods of 

 subjection and treatment given in this book. First, a simple means 

 of subjection by which any horse, however vicious, balky, or unman- 

 ageable, can be put in harness, subdued, and driven gently without 

 danger of accident. Second, a method by which headstrong, lung- 

 ing, runaway horses can be controlled directly, and so subdued by 

 the pressure of the reins upon the nerve centers, that he will soon 

 submit to the ordinary restraint of the bit. TJiird, a method of 

 preventing and curing contraction and quarter-crack an absolute 

 cure for quarter-crack, with freedom to drive on any road as desired, 

 without causing the hoof to split back as it grows guaranteed a 

 means of perfect cure. Fourth, (patent pending?) a method by which 

 most pulling, lugging horses on the bit will drive safely and easily 

 to a pleasant and easy restraint of the reins.
