The piece portrays Alfred Tennyson as a charming poet yet not a charming man with a small circle of intimates.

In 1875 I treated a horse with Kendall's Spavin Cure for a bone spavin of several months growth. The remedy stopped the lameness and reduced the enlargement by about half a hen's eye. I have worked the horse hard since and he has not shown lameness or a noticeable change in gait.
