Haines' Patent SAFETY BRIDLE The Best and Most Effectual in Use. "VUMEROI'S patents hive been issued and various it improvements made on Safety Bridles, hut lo re is nothing invidious in saying that the invention pa tented by Joseph O. Haines of this p ace is superior to any vet offered, combining features of simplicity and power in guiding and surging a horse or horses which no other possesses The essential feature of this patent is in providing the driving rein with shift ing bearings, which form the points of attachment between the rein and bit rings, and thus act upon the bit directly, when easv and steady driving will con trol the animal, but when it requires a more severe application of the bit said bearings leave the bit rings and give way to the straps to which they may he at tached. This is aii done by the regular driving line, no extra one being required, wliicli ought to satisfy every person of the great superiority ot this inven tion to anv other. The following certificates from well known gentle men, some of whom have had much experience with horses will show the estimation in which this bridle is held : I.EWISTOWN. Aug. 21. 1806. Having occasion to try the Safety Bridle invented by Joseph C. Haines, of this town, upon my runaway mare, the result has proven to rny entire satisfaction that any hcrse can lie prevented from running otf or kicking. Mr. H. M. Pratt, whose large experience with horses induced ine to call upon him to drive my mare and test the safety bridle, concurs in the opin ion that it is the best bridle that has for its object the entire, control of a horse in harness or under the sad dle, GEO. W. HOOVKB. LEWISTOWX, Aug. 21. 1866. Joseph C. Raines—Dear Sir: After having fully tri ed your Safetv Bridle on my untrained colts, I find that your invention embraces all that is desirable in a bridle. Its simple construction, and adaptation to any common bridle and any rein, cannot nut make its use universal. The ease with which it can be ad justed to a soft or hard mouthed horse isnnexcellent feature, rendering its use as effectual in preventing running or kicking as any other patent bridle or rein and as euey on the mouth as the common hit.ami as it is always reaAv at the critical moment, it cannot l.ut recommend itself to all who will try or look at it. Respectfully yours, A. T. llamiuos, M. D. Luwistovtx, December 8, IStiG. 1 have been driving horses since I know anything about them, and have drove some very vicious horses and celts. In driving such with a common bridle. 1 never feel easy nor comfortalie to enjoy the ride. It is more animving, however, when you l.ave persons with you nnd'vou --an tell by their countenance tl nt they don't enjoy the ride from fear of your horse running a little, or even running away 1 have aljgays thought there might l>e a bridle or bit so constructed that you could drive and hold horses with perfect ease "and safctv. The first of this kind 1 happened to see was Dr. Hartman's. 1 thought it was very good. In the meantime it occurred to me that the way the lines worked on the bridle you could not draw the bit and let it drop quick enough on your horses. Some horses and colts when you surge tliein tightly and cannot slack the hues quickly, will balk and back very ug'v. I once saw Mr. Christs and Stamen's patent with the elastic strap, working on about the same principle its Dr. Hartmans. Mr. Christ then wave me a bridle to trv on my horse. I had the same objection to it I had to Dr. Hartman's. My attention was next called to Mr. Jos. C. Haines' Patent, ol our town Mv attention was at rested immediately with the appearance of it. I have been using it for some two weeks quite successfully. I have drove along the railroad and other ugly places, feeling quite safe. J think it embraces alt you can get out ot a bridle. If the public once get to see this bridle, they can t help hut understand its simplicity, durability and effective ness. and taken together, cannot help recommending itself. Railroads are made and being made through the country in every direction, crossing our purine roads four or five times in as many miles sometimes. These crossings often occur at very ugly place. All parties are more or less afraid of me. t ng the trams when thev are traveling for tear their horses w illtake fright and not he able to hold them. This communi ty remembers how seriously Dr. Isaac Roth rock, of •Snvder coniitv. was hurt at the crossing, at theinew Ta'nnorv. ia.-t May. He found he cou.d not hold his horse and tl cn got out of Ins buggy, and horse tore him around bodlv. "■ • KDtVJiK. Lewistow.l. Ph.. August 21,1 This community is well aware of the fact thatL in the midst of an extensive l >rac L rrmre I was almost killed by the running off of his mare.l drove this mare in single harness b> using tle Safety Bridle invented by Joseph D. Haines, and I foundl that si..- was entirely under my control. I bebevo the Safety Bridle is all that can lie desired for t he set2UJrilty of life, limb, and vehicle w hen used either upon a docile or vicious horse. "• ' ®r- Anv persons having fractious horses arc invited to bring 'them to the undersigned, or during his ao senoe to Mr. Pratt, and they can readily be satisfied that any horse e*n not only be prevented from kick ing but from running away. . . 1 have named the bridle "The Eureka,' signifying "1 have found."
