Cause of a Horse slavering, at the Mouth. 



CHAP. XLVIL 



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 meat 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 ex- 

 amining the internal parts of the mouth, qs there 

 will sometimes be considerable holes, or \TQunds, 

 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 oflf his 

 mouth. This being done, let his mouthi be dressed 

 once or twice a day with the niixture (NOcl56, 

 p. 247), or that used for the canker in the mouth 

 (No. 157, p. £51), as there directed.
