 becaufe the cartilaginous part of it is deilroyed 

 as foon as injured. 



Upon the line S figures i. 2. 3. 4. the fame 

 mull be obferved as at the line R. but if it 

 reaches to the ligament 8. what is mentioned 

 for the line R. muft be followed, becaufe there 

 will be danger of corroding the lower cartila- 

 ginous part of the coronary-bone, which in this 

 cafe would become incurable. 



Upon the line T. there is danger only of 

 the cartilage 2. figure 3. of which I fhall make 

 fome mention -, if the nail paries into the frog 

 B. figure 1. lb as not to reach the tendon, no- 

 thing comes of it, even though it penetrates 

 through to the paftern. I have made horfes 

 walk in this cafe, without confining them to the 

 fiables j but if it has touched the tendon, we 

 mull proceed in the method obferved before. 

 If the nail has touched between the line A. and 

 the line R. and that it has penetrated to 4 

 plate 3 figure 3. it may have pricked an artery j 

 in which cafe a proper pledget muft be applied 

 in order to comprefs the part and flop the blood. 



For all thefe operations the balfam of fiora- 

 venti or fpirit of turpentine muft be ufed, and 

 the drefiings prepared as we fhall mention 

 them for drawing the fole ; but care muft be 

 taken when it is to be drawn, that the horny 

 fole be not too ftrcng, and if it be fo, to pare 

 it well that it become more flexible -, otherwife,
