Observation XVI. 



The moll certain remedy is to draw the fole 

 immediately, I have cured horfes in fifteen days 

 by this method, that were not able to put their 

 feet to the ground. 



Again, the length of time the comprelTion has 

 continued, may be known by the adhefion of 

 the horny to the flefhy fole, for the horfe bleeds 

 but little after drawing it ; becaufe of the inter- 

 ruption of the circulation of the fluids by the 

 comprefTiOn. 



Observation XVII. 



A horfe, drawing a cart heavily loaden, 

 preffed his foot upon a piece of iron, which 

 fplit the foot or coffin-bone. I took off the 

 fhoe and drew the fole immediately •, and he 

 was perfedly cured. This bone fo fplit by the 

 iron Ihews that this part, fra6lured by the 

 mere effort or adbion of the horfe, may unite, if 

 prefently taken in hand, even though the frac- 

 ture happens above by the coronary-bone. 



The fra6ture of the foot- bone which has no 

 other motion but thofe of the flelhy and hor- 

 ny foles upon which it is fituated, happens 

 from one of the two convex fides of the lower 

 part of the coronary- bone, the other fide mak- 

 ing an unequal prefifure : this fracture ought to
