Tips. — In cases where a horse's heels are affected from 

 some cause, temporary or otherwise, it is desirable that he 

 should be shod with tips, or half-shoes, which do not extend 

 to the back of the walls of his foot. Tips are, moreover, 

 used when it is desired to let the frog come on to the 

 ground, and when used they should be thinned away at 

 the back, so as to prevent their terminating in a thick 

 piece of iron. The toe of the hoof may also be shortened 

 a little. (See Shoes.) 



Tissues may be briefly described as the name by 

 which different parts of the animal's body which are of 

 the same nature — such as nervous tissue, bony tissue — 

 are referred to.

 to bring his appetite back, and to build up his system. (See 

 Prescriptions.)
