EYE-TEETH. 209 



The mouth must be washed with this mixture 

 once or twice a day, which may be done by fasten- 

 ing a linen rag round the end of a stick, dipping 

 it in the mixture, and introducing it into his 

 mouth. This will take away the soreness, and 

 harden his mouth, from which there will be no 

 necessity to remove the lampas by actual cautery.

WOLVES-TEETH, BY SOME CALLED EYE-TEETH. 



This is a small tooth appearing on the upper 

 jaw, at the distance of about half an inch, or an 

 inch, from the grinders; sometimes on one side, 

 and at other times on both sides. These teeth are 

 seldom found in young horses ; but old horses are 

 sometimes subject to them. They are supposed 

 to affect the eyes at different times ; they must be 

 removed either by the application of a hammer and 

 chisel made for the purpose, or by filing them 

 down level with the gums.
