A Wonderful Idea for 

 Stock Owners. 



For years observant stock owners have known that sick horses have 

 certain ways of acting in certain diseases. If a horse has a certain disease 

 he will stand or lie down in a certain peculiar way. If ten thousand horses 

 have that disease, probably nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine 

 of them will act in the very same manner. They can't talk, and it is their 

 only way of making known to us what is the matter with them. Now 

 then, if we knew the particular attitude which horses take in the various 

 ills to which horse-flesh is heir, we would be able to tell almost as soon as 

 we saw a sick horse just what is the matter with him. 



A few years ago an eminent veterinary surgeon went to work to verify 

 this theory. Everywhere he went he took his kodak, and whenever he 

 saw a sick horse he took a snap-shot at it. Photographs of people do not 

 always tell the truth, for photographers have learned how to please their 

 customers; but a horse dosn't care whether he makes a pretty picture or 

 not, and the photographs taken by this surgeon establish beyond doubt the 

 theory on which he was working. When he realized this, he went to 

 work to arrange the entire series of pictures in a book in such a manner 

 that a man who has a sick horse has only to turn the leaves of the book 

 to find the trouble. This great book, 



The Stock Owner's Adviser, 



By C. K. RHODES, V. ■$., 



Is not only a comprehensive work on the treatment of stock, but it is also 

 of the nature of an invention — a wonderful invention, which promises to 

 revolutionize the stock world. The idea of such a book is absolutely 

 startling. Whenever a horse-lover hears of it he opens his eyes wide in 

 utter astonishment. "Wonderful!" he exclaims. "Must have it? Of 

 course I must have it. That doctor has got the idea, and I want his book 

 quick."

Suppose you have in your home a copy of The Stock Owner's Ad- 

 viser. One day your horse becomes ill. You stand and watch him a few 

 moments, and then you go in the house and get your book. And then you 

 sit down on a log and watch your horse again. You notice the various 

 positions into which he gets. Presently you will notice that while he 

 shifts into several positions, there is one position into which he always
