places bis hind legs under him, as if to take the 

 weight of his body from the fore-feet ; he moans 

 or groans from tbe severity of the pain, and at 

 lasu lies down, unable to stand upon the inHamed 

 feet. The feet are intensely hot and painful. If 

 one foot is taken 1143, he can scarcely stand upon 

 the other, and may tumble down. He does not 

 like to get up from the ground, and is moved with 

 difficulty from one place to another. Jf the dis-

 hoof, which is then thrown off. 



The disease may exist in a more chronic form, 

 coming on by degrees, and eventually resulting in 

 the ruin of the horse.

 shoes should be removed from the feet, and the 

 hoof pared down, until the horn yields to the 

 pressure of the thumb. Give the horse rest, and 

 allow him to lie ; wrap the hoofs in cloths soaked 

 in water, and renew them from time to time. If 

 the disease is from the feet having been battered, 

 bathing them with Our Liniment will be of great 

 value. In some cases a cold poultice, made of 

 mashed turnips or corrots, is of excellent service. 



The remedy for all forms of this disease, is the 

 Specific for Founder, No. 2, of which a dose of 

 five drops may be given every three or four 

 hours, in acute cases, with the best possible ef-
