AN ESSAY ON SHOEING HORSES. 



IMPROVED HORSE SHOE. 



Patent owned by Robebt Hale, Fitchburg, Masg. 



This Shoe is one of the most valuable ever invented, and those 

 persons who are in favor of a more rational system of shoeing horses 

 will certainly give the enterpirsing owner of this ^^ patent shoe^'' their 

 countenance and support. The shoe has a continuous calk, pointed 

 to heel, which is something very desirable, and a very great improve- 

 ment on the ordinary calks, which are on the principle of a triangle, 

 and a rickety sort of an arrangement for any poor horse to stand on. 



I think this neio invented shoe is better calculated to preserve the 

 natural tread and functions of the foot than any other now in use, 

 and I advise the readers of this work and all persons owning horses 

 to give this shoe a fair trial, for I fully indorse all that the proprietor 

 claims for it. The above shoe has been used in various parts of the 

 United States, and has given universal satisfaction.
