The use of acupuncture for ailments in the horse kingdom kingdom began to appear some two ' years ago and to an extent has replaced the bottles bottles of linament and other medicines. Over the past couple of weeks a number of articles have appeared in the daily press as to the use of acupuncture by those in the racing fraternity and we find this use has spread to those in the Orono area. Jack Williams says man sail it 'hocus pocüs' but he said it is catching on for the treatment of horse ailments and in some cases lays claim to it being successful. Williams cites the case of Penny Kory, a horse in his stable, which he had taken to the acupuncturist in Windsor in November of 1979.

But Williams doesn't kid himself as to acupuncture for he points to another horse in the stable with a pinched nerve in its lower face that still remains after a treatment treatment of acupuncture. Its terrific in some cases but worthless in others, he said. Williams uses a Dr. McKibben McKibben in Windsor for acupuncture acupuncture who Williams states has, pioneered acupuncture for horse ailments in North. America. He travels all over the continént and even Europe Europe to give lectures and service requires an appointment appointment for which one has to wait two to three weeks. "It's starting to catch on' said Williams and others are beginning to enter this field of medicine", said Williams. According to Williams treatment does not centre just around acupuncture but can as well make use of a Laser Beam as well as Cyrosurgery. In speaking of Cyrosurgery he refers to it as a gas operation that induces instant freezing using temperatures far below the freezing point. He said the use of the gas fills a room with steam and requires the operator to wear big and heavy gloves. When speaking of the Laser Beam Williams refers to it as a raye that heals almost instantly with the ailment being ' cured within fifteen minutes.

Jhe treatment was concluded "with three staples in the horses ear over which a : powerful magnet is turned fifteen times in each direction. direction. The use of the magnet continues on a daily basis following the return from the acupuncturist.
