 the Coronet. The Mixture is this :

I can't fay but there is a great Similitude or Agree- 

 ment between a Man's Nails and a Horf(;'s Hoof; 

 for v/hen there happens to be a Gathering (as 'tis 

 call'dj under any of the Nails, if it be near the 

 Root of the Nail, it often caafes it to grow in Ridges 

 or Wrinkles ever after : And in like manner it fares 

 with Horfes Hoofs when the Gravel gets up to the

 a vaft deal of Difference as to the Danger of Gravel 

 at the^ Bottom, and Gravel at the Top of the Hoof.
