Trouble spots?
Treat them with
ABSORBINE
at the first sign!
For over 70 years, Absorbine has proved
effective in the relief of bog spavin,
windgall, ringbone, sores and bruises.
At the slightest sign, use Absorbine
promptly!
Full strength: Apply
right on strained
tendons or any troubled
areas. It draws out
soreness. Never any loss
of hair or blistering.
And it’s antiseptic, too.
No other liniment has
Absorbine’s combina­
tion of fungicidal
properties.
Medical News ... It has been
reported that perambulating equi-
nitis is on the increase and is ra­
pidly approaching epidemic pro­
portions. We feel that our readers
should be informed of the preva­
lence of this highly contagious di­
sease and advised of its symptoms
and prognosis. It is most easily con­
tracted around stables, training
barns, horse shows, or anywhere
the victim comes in close contact

Buy Absorbine in the long-lasting,
12-ounce bottle or in the economi­
cal horseman’s gallon size. Avail­
able wherever veterinary supplies

with horses. The incubation period
varies from a few hours to as long
as a year in some cases depending
on the susceptibility of the patient.
At present there is no known cure
for nor vaccination against this
bizarre disease. Patients suffering
from it complain of inability to
concentrate on their work, com­
pulsion to spend exorbitant sums
of money, accelerated heartbeat,
delusions of grandeur and persecu­
tion complexes. The last three
symptoms listed occur most often
at horse shows. If you have reason
to believe that you or any of your
family or friends are suffering
from perambulation equinitis, we
have a word of comfort for you.
We have consulted with medical
authorities on this matter and have
been advised that although peram­
bulating equinitis, is extremely dis­
concerting it is rarely fatal. At this
time doctors advise that it is better
for sufferers to make no effort to
recover, but just relax and enjoy it,
since the common name for peram­
bulating equinitis is Walking Horse
Fever.
Robert F. Thompson, nationally
prominent Dallas, Texas, industria­
list, builder and oil-man, (but
known to the Tennessee Walking
Horse world as “the father of
Doodles") has been elected presi­
dent of the Dallas Charity Horse
Show Association. His election took
place on February 24 after the
resignation of long-time president
J. Glenn Turner of Circle T Ranch
who late last fall retired from show
competition. Most of the Circle T
champions were sold last October
after the State Fair of Texas Show
unit that included competition for
the Walking Horse breed.
Mr. Thompson has been a leader
in varied civic groups in Dallas
and in the state of Texas. He be­
came interested in the Tennessee
Walking Horse breed principally
through his daughter, Virginia Lee
(Doodles), who began riding in 1961
when she was thirteen. A year
later she won the World’s Champ­
ionship for Juveniles (13-18 Years
Old) at the Tennessee Walking
Horse National Celebration in
