 the next day, and if not badly foundered, in a few

Cure f 01" the Spavin. 



Take one pound of angle worms, fry them well 

 in a pound of butter, and after it is cool add one 

 giil of spirits of turpentine. 



Take one oz. Origanum Oil, (sold at druggists',) 

 which mix in one gill of spirits of turpentine. 



Every morning, rub the spavin with the angle 

 worm mixture, heated in a shovel over the fire. 



Every evening rub the spavin with Origanum 

 Oil mixture. By the time these are used, you will 

 begin to see the horse improve. 



During the operation, it will often appear to 

 make him worse; but this must not be regarded as 

 injurious. It does not remove the lump, but th© 

 disease will be extirpated.

 eyes with a bag, a coat, or a pocket handkerchief, 

 they may be led out of danger without trouble or 

 difiicultv.
