Not Img since (writes a correspondent of the American Agricultnrast) I saw a method of restraining horses from jumping, and was assured hj T those who were using it that it proved efficacious. It consists of a snrsingle about the body of the horse, together with two short straps that pass through the sursingle and around each fore-leg, being buckled so that when the horse stands upright the straps will fall about half way to the knees. This arrangement, which al'ows the horse to walk quite freely, preventing its running as well as jumping. A similar plan is to connect the fore-legs of a horse by straps secured just above -the knees, but those who have tried both plans prefer the ona first mentioned. Some horses are difficult to catch when at pasture, and the device will prove valuable in such cases. Holloway's Pills are the medicine most in repute for curing the multifarious maladies which attack humanity, when wet and cold weather gives place to more genial temperatures. In short, these Pills afford relief, if they fail of being an absolute remedy in all the disturbances of circulation, digestion, and nervous energy, which at times oppress a vast portion of the population. Under the wholesome, purifying, and strengthening powers exerted by these excellent Pills, the tongue becomes clean, the appetite improves, digestion is quickened, and assimilation rendered perfect. Holloway’s medicine possesses the highly estimable property of cleansing the whole mass of blood, which, in its renovated condition, carries purity, strength, and vigour to every tissue of the body.
