The blood is the medium by which al nutriment, is supplied to the body. No organ, for its magnitude, possesses a greater abundance of blood vessels than the horse's oot. Nor is greater care manifested any* where to ensure an uninterrupted supply of blood. Marvellous wisdom is displayed in this beautiful structure ; hut! how barbar ous is the treatment it receives. A catalogue of evils could quickly be written, the result of fuch treatment, but which no skill can effectually remove. The free, natural, elastic step can only be preserved by the observance of natural laws. Our advice is constantly being sought in so-called obscure causes of lameness. Instead of it being as is generally supposed "the shoulder," the trouble is in the foot. Pressure, irritating and icflamipg, prevents free circulation, ana pus or matter is discovered in the olift.
