America’s
Trouble Areas absorbine
Saddle sores For over 70 years, Absorbine has proved
effective in relief of bog spavin, windgall
ringbone, sores and bruises. That's why at
the first sign of trouble, experienced horse­
men put Absorbine to work.
Absorbine can be applied right on
strained tendons and other trouble areas to
reduce lameness and swelling. It instantly
starts drawing out soreness. Never causes
loss of hair or blistering, either. And it’s anti­
septic. No other liniment has Absorbine’s
combination of fungicidal
ingredients.

products are sold.

Greely laughed and said, "Sure is!”
The pressure was building up in Lonny and his wife
Helen could tell it. The Lonny Barnes Stables truck
was surrounded by people who had come to get a
look at BEAU GENTRY before the class, and Lonny
had just about had it. Helen could tell that he was
getting irritated and nervous, and went over to him.
"You want one of my tranquilizers, honey?” she ask­
ed. "Hell, no! I don’t need anything but a little space
to work this horse in!” he replied. Realizing that he
had made a mistake, and remembering Helen’s con­
dition, he quickly added, "Thanks just the same, su­
gar, but you know what I mean.” She smiled as he
mounted BEAU GENTRY.
Don Hill was busy latching the right boot on BEAU
when he saw Dr. Greely approaching with three other
men. "Is that them, Lonny?” he said. "Uh-huh .
that’s them. Been in the Walking Horse business two
weeks and already spent thirty thousand dollars for
half a horse.” The group was obviously having a ball.
This was the first big-time show they had ever attend­
ed and they were mixing drinks for everybody. "Lon­
