 may think fit to stay the onward march of 

 the disease. 



Care of the Teeth. 



Both old and young horses should have 

 their teeth examined occasionally, more 

 especially if they are not feeding as vigor-

 need very careful inspection, especially the 

 back ones. Sometimes the ' Temporary ' 

 and ' permanent ' incisors, or molars, get 

 entangled, demanding professional aid.
