SUPPLEMENT. 475 



the fu7igusy and ftrid: attention to the con- 

 formation of the edges of the wounds, a cicatrix 

 was formed, and cure completed, bidding deii^ 

 ance to the eye or touch of the moft judicious 

 inveftigator ; which is the more extraordinary, 

 as the colour of the mare is a delicate grey. 

 This cafe is only quoted to prove the pofTibility 

 of preventing thefe accidents from becoming fo 

 perpetually prejudicial, Vv^hen properly attended 

 to ', while on the contrary, they become 

 irreparable injuries, in being left to the courfe 

 of nature ; for, fuifered to cicatrize with a pro- 

 minence conftituting an efchary they prove an 

 irretrievable blemifh, that a very few days 

 proper attention (in moil cafes) would probably 

 prevent. 



Having gone through every neceffary in- 

 ftrudion that can be poffibly advanced for the 

 treatment and cure of the different kinds of 

 lamenefs proceeding from various caufes, one 

 additional remark cannot be too forcibly incul- 

 cated, nor too ftridlly obferved. It is the great 

 advantage to be gained in the progrefs and con- 

 firmation of every cure, from the ufe of an 

 openjiabky bay of a barn, or fuch ctlier proper 

 receptacle, in preference to a \Q':y abfurd cuf- 



tom.
