PRACTICAL HOKSESHOEIXG. 103/" 



The next and equally important point is to make and fit the 

 shoe to suit the diseased condition of the foot and leg, so when 

 the shoe is nailed to the foot the horse will stand with his feet 

 and legs naturally under the body. AVhen this is done, two- 

 thirds of the victory is gained, I have never seen any disease 

 of the foot and leg where there was a permanent cure effected, 

 unless the foot and leg were made to stand naturally under the 

 body. 



My sole object in getting out the fourth edition of my 

 treatise on Scientific Horseshoeing is to give my former as well 

 as other patrons the benefit of the new illustrations, showing 

 the different diseases to which the feet and legs are subjected. 

 As I maintain always, seventy-five per cent of the foot and leg 

 diseases are caused from unbalanced feet.
