ON LAMENESS. loi 



from a blow, or from violent extension of the 

 leg in passing over a slippery surface. It is 

 distinguished from lameness in any other part 

 by the horse dragging his toe, and describing 

 a circular motion outwards with the leg, which 

 motion is occasioned by the want of action in 

 the pectoral and adductor muscles, on which 

 account the abductor muscles act alone without 

 resistance from the adductors, and draw the leg 

 outwards when the animal is put into motion. 

 Camphorated spirits of wine may be rubbed on 

 the side of the chest and under the arm of the 

 lame leg, daily until a cure is effected. 



RHEUMATISM. 



As it is difficult, perhaps impossible, to as- 

 certain the existence of this complaint, it will be 

 unnecessary to treat upon it.
