last horse you bought go incurably lame the next day ? Do you know why ? Why

“HORSE SECRETS” EXPOSED
It will protect you—will make you horse-wise and crook-proof, and
save you from being cheated by dopes or tricks when buying,
selling, or trading. It exposes and makes you acquainted with the
tricks and handling methods of gyps and a certain class of unscrup-

Horse Buying, Horse Training, and Horse Feeding information has
ever before been published. It is impossible even in this large space
to give a complete list of the secrets in this sensational book.
“ Horse Secrets ” has been prepared by Dr. A. S. Alexander, the
famous veterinarian, who has had upwards of 25 years’ experience
in Horse-Buying and Breeding.
