toms, according to the stage of the disease. Fortunately tliis disease is raj-ely 

 mot witb. but it is a fruitful eauso of permanent lameness. It is many 

 times attributed to seme difficulty in the shoulder. 



(7(eu«e.— Hard work upon pgwements causing slight inflammation which 

 is neglected, and the kerse kept at work so that the inflammation continues 

 untQit ends in ulceration. 



Symptoms are ©bscure and yet very much like many of the symptoms 

 of other diseases of the feet and legs and shoulders. It is determined 

 chiefly by an usdue amount of heat ia the foot, and by the fact that no 

 disease can be found elsewhere or of a different character. 



Trealment. — Baise the foot and pour Kendall's Spavin Cure on to the 

 frog and the back part »f the foot and heel, aad rub it well up into the hair, 

 repeating this process two or three timejs a day, for two or three weeks, or 

 more, if necessary. Ia bad cases, if the lameness does not subside in two or 

 three weeks, we would recommaid to blister as recommended for ring-bone, 

 and follow up with the use of Kendall's SpaVin Cure. The above treatment 

 has proved to fee the most satisfactory of ahy treatment known to us. 



Poultices ssmetimes relieve the pain. 



FOUNDSR. {Laminiiii.) — This disease is inflammation of the sensitive 

 laminae of the foet, ot which there are two kinds, acute and chronic, the 

 latter being a contiauatien of the former. The acute form is invariably 

 cured, if properly treated, but .the cdtroaic form is generally considered 

 incurable ; it caa be relieved very much, but the feet are always afterwards 

 Bore and tender in front. 



Cause. — Allowing to drink cold water, when overheated and tired from 

 overwork, standiag in the cold air (or where the wind will strike' the horse) 

 while warm, driving through a river while warm, long and hard drives 

 ever dry reads^ etc. 



Symptemt. — The horse wiU stand upon his heels, with fore feet and legs 

 stretched ©ut as far as he can get them so as to throw the weight off as much 

 as possible ; amd he can scarcely be made to move. The horse has 

 fever and considerable coastitutional disturbance, in the acute form of the 

 disease. 



Treatment (ff acute founder) — Give the horse a goqd bedding of straw, 

 in a large, well veatUated stall, so as to encourage him to lie down, which, 

 by removiag the weight from the inflamed parts, will relieve his sufferings 

 very such and assist ia hastening the cure. As soon as his bed is fixed, give 

 iim tweaty drops of the tincture ef aeoaite root in a half pint of cold 

 water, poured iato his mouth witii a bottle having a strong neck, apd repeat 

 this dose every four hours until six or eight doses have been given. Also 

 apply a cloth wet ia ice-water to the feet, aad keep wet with the same for
