 getting up in years, that have been grain-fed a long time). 

 One of the principal objects of this book is to induce 

 gentlemen to make minute examinations for themselves of 

 the parts affected, and thereby save for themselves many a 

 fine horse, and at the same time give him great relief from 

 pain.
