Excerpt from Domestic Treatise on the Diseases of Horses and Dogs: So Conducted as to Enable Persons to Practise With Ease and Success on Their Own Animals, Without the Assistance of a Farrier, Including Likewise the Natural Management, as Stabling, Feeding, Exercise, &C., Together With the Outlines of a Plan for the Est

Mr. Blaine's long acquaintance with Horses, and the natural attachment he has to them, have led him into an intimate acquaintance with their qualities and defects, which enables him to afford very important assistance to persons wanting to purchase. His engagements of this kind are so numerous, that he is acquainted with every source from whence they can be procured, and he engages to find any description of Horse that may be wanted. The advantages he is enabled to hold to purchasers are very numerous, the most important is, that his professional knowledge ensures to his employers sound, safe, and useful animals, instead of the danger, vexation, and trouble, arising from the tricks usually practised. His acquaintance with the value will also prevent imposition. In most instances this will make a saving of 10, 15, or 20 per cent, to gentlemen employing him. His extensive connection and acquaintance with every market where Horses are to be procured, entirely frees gentlemen from all trouble in looking out for them. Any gentleman, therefore, wanting Horses, by favouring Mr. Blaine with a description of the kind that is required, he will engage to procure them for their inspection and approval: and he presumes that his known integrity will be a sufficient guarantee that he will faithfully discharge the trust reposed in him.
