LOOK WELL TO YOUR HORSE'S FEET. 



These drawings show how many 

 horses are made lame and permanent- 

 ly injured by the use of the COLD-CUT 

 and siiKAKED POINTED nails. Tliis 

 proeess ofmanulaeture produces lam- 

 ination, causing the iron to form in 

 layers, and when driven into the foot 

 the horny fibres of wiiich the hoof is 



compose*] cause tlie nail to separate at the point and one portion passes into the foot. 



.No. 4 represents one of these naiis whieli was driven into tlie hoof, and SLIVEUKD in 

 driving, one thix blade passing into the quick or sensitive sole. No. 5, the thick blade 

 of the nail passed out of the wall of the hoof for clinching. After a few days the horse 

 was returned lame, and, upon removal of the shoe, a nail similar to the above was 

 broken oil", leaving a sliver in the foot; Lockjaw ensued, from which the horse died. 

 Upon dissecting the foot a portion of the nail was found to have penetrated through the 

 Cullln bone, as seen in Fig. 2, letter A, thus sacrificing the life of a valuable animal. 



As the I'emedy lies with the owner of the horse it is for him to prohibit any cold-rolled 

 or sheared naiis Ijeing used in his horse's feet. The only Hot-Forged, and. Ham- 

 nrier-pointed Horse Shoe Nail in the V/orld that is not cut, clipped nor 

 siiKAUED upon the point and will not split in driving is the FUT2sA31 NA-LL. See that 

 your horse is shod with tliis nail and avoid all risks. 



TMs drawing was made from the nail 

 taken from the hoof and coffin bone, as 

 shown bi Figs. 1 and 2. 



This dra%A'ing was made from a nail, 

 showing the lamination of iron in the 



COLD-ROLLED AND SHEARING prOCeSS. 



Every Putnam nail is drawn down to a point from the rod, thus ; 



The illustrations of the Putnam Nails are very interesting, as showing the superiority 

 of the nails made by the hot-forged process. The slivering of inferior nails, we are as- 

 sured, is not overdrawn, and what instruments of torture such jagged iron must be to 

 the sensitive foot of the horse can be imagined. The recommendations of these Nails, 

 signed by W. H. H. Murray, Robert Bonner, and Budd Doble, speak for themselves, 

 and coidd be indefinitely reduplicated.- T/te Spirit of the Times, Neio York, November 

 8, 1879. 



We address these lines to HORSE 0^^T:RS, because they are the parties most vital- 

 ly interested. We feel assured that, after knowing the facts, and giving the subject due 

 consideration, they will, in company with such gentleiuen as Messrs. CONNER, MUR- 

 RAY, CIIAS. S. GREEN, BUDD DOBLE, JAS. G. BREEZE, and many other CELL- 

 BRATED JUDGES OF HORSES, INSIST that their horses must be shod with the 

 Putnam Hot Forged and Hammer Pointed Nail. A few months' trial will always 

 convince.
