A Business Call

through your heart
to your purse

Suffering from Shell-Shock, scarred, and maimed by shrapnel
—sick with the sights of the battlefield, exhibiting a patient
courage which makes men wonder-the Horses at the
Front make dumb appeal to us for relief.

Last year 90 per cent, of the 580,000 Horses brought for
treatment to the British Veterinary Hospitals were cured.
As a horse costs anything from £50 to £60, this means
practically a saving of £24,750,000 in one year. Since
the outbreak of war we have spent £ 1 50,000, for which
amount we can show you the splendid return above, in
addition to all the work of previous years.

The R.S.P.C. A. Fund

for Sick and Wounded Horses

needs £50,000 at once,

and asks you to contribute what you can reasonably spare.

As the Front changes, so new needs arise ; and, with the extension of
our British lines the need for further Veterinary Hospitals and supplies
increases.

remind you that
behind this direct
appeal for the horses
themselves lies the
irresistible appeal
for our men, since
the men so often
depend for their
munitions, food,
lives, on the horses.

The cost of this advertisement is
generously borne by a group of well-
known sportsmen and horse-lovers.
