Experiments and their Verification 



difference in angles and weights in all these shoeings? It should, 

 however, be remembered that these shoeings were taken out of a long 

 series, the purpose of which was the establishment, if possible, of 

 certain general principles ; but to satisfy the queries that may arise 

 in the mind of the reader who is anxious for practical results I will 

 indicate a few reasons. These do not, and cannot at this stage, con- 

 stitute such generalizations as arise from many cases tried under 

 similar conditions. Gradually certain facts were sifted out from the

various changes and these will become apparent later on. For the pres- 

 ent the reasons for such shoeings will be given as they appear to be 

 warranted by the object in view, namely, the correction of faulty gaits. 

 Only by numerous changes can such experiments yield the desired 

 information for practical purposes. 



In Fig. in there appears again a heavier shoe for the right fore. 

 It was done in order to counteract that paddling foot, to give it a 

 better direction. The lower angle has in view a better extension. 

 Behind there appears a heavier shoe on the left foot so that the ex-
