THE TEETH, OR GRINDERS. 



Horses, that are kept on dry meat, will often 

 be found to champ their hay and corn, slaver at 

 the mouth, and frequently to put their food out 

 again. This is occasioned by some fault in the 

 grinders, or otherwise from the canker. In the 

 former case it will be easily discovered by examin- 

 ing the internal parts of the mouth, as there will 

 sometimes be considerable holes, or wounds, cut 

 with his grinders in the weaks of his mouth. Let 

 his grinders be filed quite smooth on that side next 

 the sores, with a file made for the purpose, smooth 

 on one side, lest it tear the weaks off his mouth. 

 This being done, let his mouth be dressed once or 

 twice a day with the mixture (No. 156, p. 208), 

 or that used for the canker in the mouth (No. ] 57, 

 p. 311), as there directed.
