Stopping Runaway Horses.

The following method of stopping runaway horses would seem to be good, but few horse-owners would care to advertise the vicious character of their animals by such a conspicuous device; neither would the owner of a horse ordinarily sdfe wish to adopt such a cumbersome contri. ance as a regular part of his harness: “Place a cord with a running knot around the horse’s neck near the neck strap. To this slip-noose attach a pair of reins which may be thrown over the dash-board ready to be seized at once. When the horse starts, take up this oord and tighten the horse’s throat. The most furious horse thus checked stops instantly, and will not fall or kick. This is a Russian discovery.” Pierce’s “Pleasant Purgative Pellets,” Positively Popular; Provoke Praise; Prove Priceless; Peculiarly Prompt; Perceptibly Potent; Producing Permaneut Profit; Precluding Pimples and Pustules; Promoting J u-Uy and Peace.
