STAMPED CAKT FOEE SHOE (SUEGICAL), WITH 

 ARRANGEMENT FOR DRESSING FOOT (Fig. 357). 



Made from l^x ^ inch iron. 



This shoe, specially made for treating cases of canker, etc., 

 is seated out to the heels to allow of an iron plate (sec following 

 figures) being inserted between it and the foot. The modu& 

 operandi is to dress the foot, insert a proper stopping of tow, 

 wood-wool, etc., and insert the plate, which serves the double- 

 purpose of retaining the dressing and excluding moisture. 



As it is usually needful to dress the foot daily, this shoe 

 obviates the necessity for removal and is of important service. 



STAMPED CAET HIND SHOE (SUEGICAL), WITH 

 ARRANGEMENT FOR DRESSING FOOT (Fig. 358). 



Made from 1-|- X -J- inch iron. 



This shoe corresponds in purpose with the preceding. It 

 must be well seated out to the extreme limits of heels to allow 

 the plate to be introduced. In most cases it is advantageous- 

 to have, as here depicted, a toe and two quarter clips. They 

 give greater support to the shoe and prevent it shifting.
