treatment you advise. My mare, ' Pet,' a short time ago, could 

 not be driven by any but myself without getting her gait 

 1 mixed up ' and her fore shoes picked off. Your treatment 

 which is simplicity itself, has changed all that. 



You further desire my opinion upon the quality of the work 

 which you are about to publish upon the foot of the horse. 

 What I have seen of it in manuscript ; what I know of the in- 

 formation to be obtained from veterinary works in general ; 

 and my experience in horse-matters generally, enables me to 

 say that it will be the best and most advanced work of its kind 

 ever given to the public. Its utility to horse-men will be of 

 the most valuable character, and I predict that we shall hear 

 of greater achievements in speed than have hitherto been re- 

 corded, when the principles and practice it inculcates in regard 

 to the preservation of sound feet, and the restoration of diseased 

 ones, come to be widely appreciated and carried into effect.
