STOCKS. 63 



support the hind quarters. The Vinsot stock is the beginning 

 of the John A, W. Dollar operating table. The Dollar table 

 has during recent years been improved and perfected by the 

 Bradwood Manufacturing Company, and is now known and sold 

 in America as the Bradwood Humane Equine Operating Table. 

 These tables are illustrated and described in Part II, Chap- 

 ter III. 



Peuch and Toussaint's Stocks. 



The stocks described by Peuch and Toussaint, Figure 68, 

 are satisfactory in many respects. The cut is self-explanatory. 

 It will be observed that these stocks are built upon a strong 

 wooden floor, which renders them portable. They are easily 

 moved to any desired place in the hospital or operating room. 



New York State Veterinary College Metal Stocks. 



Figures 69 and 70 will give the surgeon a good general idea 

 of the metal stocks now in use at the New York State Veteri- 

 nary College. These stocks were designed and perfected by 

 Prof. W. L. Williams and were manufactured and installed 

 under his supervision. They are strong, neat, attractive and 

 satisfactory. They are as near sanitary as it is possible for 

 stocks to be made. By using this form of stocks almost every 

 part of the animal is accessible. The unique and original 

 method of applying the girths and back strap is especially 

 attractive. These stocks are made almost entirely of tubular 

 steel of a large and strong size. The steel tubing is joined 

 together by elbows and threaded connections. These tight and 

 strong joints make the apparatus rigid and substantial. 



Australian "Crush." 



The Australian "Crush," Figure 71, is simply a "pen" or 

 "chute" into which wild and vicious horses are driven in order 

 to catch them. It is made high enough to prevent the animal 

 from jumping out, and narrow enough to make it impossible 

 for him to turn around. An outfit of this kind is particularly 

 convenient where a large number of unbroken "range horses" 

 are to be caught and handled.
