HORSE AILMENTS AND HOW TO DOCTOR THEM. 



353 



When spavin is forming the first thing to attract attention 

 will probably be lameness, which may be slight at first, but 



will very soon develop into that of 

 a very serious character. When this 

 is observed, a careful examination 

 and comparison with the opposite 

 hock joint soon determines its nature, 

 as an unusual degree of heat and 

 tenderness in the region of the inner 

 splint bone will be found. 



Treatment. "Various veterinary 

 surgeons have asserted that this dis- 

 ease cannot be cured, and that a 

 spavined horse will always remain . 

 -a the subject of it, and therefore, un- 

 sound ; but, practically, I know 

 better, as I have, myself, invented 

 and patented a medicine used by my- 

 self for the past twenty years or 

 more that I will guarantee, if taken 

 in time, will not only perform a 

 perfect cure from all lameness, but 

 will leave the spavined joint as 

 smooth as the other, and without a 

 scar. 



I could (had I taken pains to do 

 so), have had numerous affidavits to 

 publish in this book as to the per- 

 manent cures of bone spavin pro- 

 duced by " Dimon's Spavin Cure." 

 As to its general efficacy I must, 

 for the benefit of my readers, give a few Canadian testimonials, 

 all occurring the same season. They are as follows :
