SURE METHOD OF PRODUCING A RAPID 

 GROWTH IN HORSES' HOOFS. Wash the hoof 

 and apply common soft soap inside and out, 

 twice a day, avoiding to rub any on the frog of 

 the foot. Care should be used so as not to allow 

 the soap to remain on the hair near the hoof. 

 By putting a mark near the hair, the operator 

 will be better able to judge the rapid growth. 

 While using the above, should the hoof get 

 soft, apply salt, which will quickly harden. I 

 have grown an entirely new hoof on a horse in 

 six weeks, by following the above direction.
