LOOK WELL TO YOUR HORSE'S FEET. 



These drawings sIioav how many 



horses arc made lame and pennanent- 



ly injured by the use of the cold-cut 



and SHEARED POINTED nalls. This 



process ofmauul'acture produces lam- 

 ination, causing the iron to lorm in 



layers, and when driven into the foot 



the horny fibres of wliich the hoof is 

 composed cause the nail to separate at the point and one portion passes into the foot 



JNo. 4 represents one of these nails Avhich was driven into the hoof, and slivered in 

 anying, one thin blade passing into the quick or sensitive sole. No. 5, the thick blade

This drawing was made from a nail, 

 showing the lamination of iron in the 

 cold-rolled and shearing process. 



Every Putnam nail is drawn down to a point from the rod, thus : 



The illustrations of the Putnam Nails are very interesting, as showing the superiority 

 of the nails made by the hot-forged process. The slivering of inferior nails, we are as- 

 sured, is not overdrawn, and what instruments of torture such jagged iron must be to 

 y^ie sensitive foot of the horse can be imagined. The recommendations of these Nails, 

 ('' eigned by W. H. H. Murray, Robert Bonner, and Budd Doble, speak for themselves, 

 and could be indefinitely reduplicated.— T/te Sjnrit of the Times, New York, November 

 8, 1879. 



We address these lines to HORSE OWNERS, because they are the parties most vital- 

 ly interested. We feel assured that, after knowing the facts, and giving the subject due 

 consideration, they will, in company with such gentlemen as Messrs. BONNER, IVRTR- 

 RAY, CHAS. S. GREEN, BUDD DOBI-E, JAS. Gi. BKEEZE, and many other CELE- 

 BRATED JUDGES OF HORSi:S, INSIST that their horses must be shod with the 

 Putnam Hot Forged and Hammer Pointed Nail. A few months' trial will always 

 convince.
