SPAVIN CURE 
NEVER IN THE HISTORY 
of achievements in scientific and physiological chem¬ 
istry has anything been discovered capable of produc¬ 
ing such wonderful results as “ Save the Horse ” 
Spavin Cure. 
In the face of deep-seated prejudice and scepticism 
at first considered an improbable and expensive ex¬ 
periment no preparation ever made so marvelous a 
record in such short time. 
The fire iron is uncertain at the best, and invariably 
only aggravates the disease or injury; Blistering is 
less effective than the fire iron, and both necessitate 
laying up the horse-from four weeks to two months; 
arsenic, mercurial and poisonous compounds produce 
irreparable injury. 
“ Save-the-Horse” eliminates all these factors. 
Horse can be workod continuously. 
It can be applied at any time, anywhere, any place 
and in all conditions and extremes of weather—hot or 
cold. And no matter what the age, condition or de¬ 
velopment of the case or previous failures in treating, 
the concentrated, penetrating, absorbing power of this 
remedy is unfailing and no case can withstand the 
force of its action, whether a Bone or Bog Spavin, 
Ringbone, Curb, Thoroughpin, Splint, Cupped Hock, 
Weak and Sprained Tendons, Shoe Boil, Wind Puff or 
Lameness caused by injury. 
It cures without scar, blemish or loss of hair. 
$5.00 BOTTLE. 
Written guarantee with every bottle, given under 
our seal and signature, constructed solely to convince, 
satisfy and protect you fully. Wo know positively 
“Save-the-Horse” will absolutely and permanently 
cure, and for that reason guarantee is made all your 
way. 
The need of second bottle is almost improbable 
except in rarest cases. Guarantee covers effectiveness 
of one bottle. 
If You Are In Doubt Write Us 
as we do not put the preparation out on speculation 
we will advise you frankly as to the possibility of the 
remedy effecting a cure. Give explicit particulars, do 
not go altogether by the Veterinarian’s diagnosis 
unless you know he is competent—inform us fully as 
to the age, development, location of swellings, lame¬ 
ness, action and previous treatment. Copy of guaran¬ 
tee sent upon application. 
$5. a bottle. At all druggist and dealers, or sent 
prepaid.
