coronary, which I fhewed, and which was 

 difcufied by drawing the fole. They accord- 

 ingly drew it out, after having fired the tumor ; 

 but he was not cured. He remained eight 

 - months in pain when they killed him. I found 

 the Tendo Achillis oflified at its infertion with 

 the coffin-bone, and this with the nut and co- 

 ronary-bones, round which the cartilage was 

 alfo coalefced, fo that all thefe parts formed 

 one entire body *, the pieces of which I have 

 yet by me. Thefe examples make it apparent 

 that the comprelTion of the fieihy fole, for want 

 of a fpeedy remedy, becomes incurable. 



Observation VL 



Of a fingular fracture which happened in 

 1743. I was called to fee a horfe who became 

 fuddenly lame of his two hind feet, being har- 

 nefTed to a coach. It was thought he had 

 ftrained his reins ; I examined him, and de- 

 clared his diforder was in his feet, and that it 

 was incurable, for that he had fradures in them. 

 I diffedled thefe two feet and found the two co- 

 ronaries fractured, and the tv/o tendons of 

 Achilles ruptured : this horfe walked near a 

 quarter of a league, with thefe two bones in 

 that condition.
