160 DISEASES OF THE HORSE’S FOOT 
Treatment.—In the main this condition may be regarded 
as a long-standing and aggravated form of the foot with

Again, we must look to successive parings of the wall of

giving to the upper surface of that branch of the shoe what 
we have termed elsewhere a ‘reversed seating ’—viz., an 
incline of its upper surface from within outwards.
