OSSI&VATION I. 



lame horfe was committed to my care, but 

 I could receive no manner of information 

 concerning his diforder ; and after Ï had drefîèd 

 him for eight and twenty days, without either 

 difcovering the caufe, or the leaft fuccefs : they 

 put him into the hands of another farrier, "who 

 alfo attended him fifteen days longer. The own- 

 er of the horfe feeing this man's endeavours as 

 fruitlefs as mine, gave him up to me, and I cut 

 off his leg in order for diffection \ and found the 

 'Tendo Achiilis ruptured near its infertion, and the 

 coronary bone broke into three pieces, without 

 any diflocation -, having as recent an appearance 

 as if they had been fractured but a day -, altho" 

 the accident happened fix weeks before. And not 

 being able to End out how, nor by what particular 



effort
