102 WHAT DISEASES CONSTITUTE UNSOUNDNESS OR VICE. 



and numerous as to make it likely they will soon cause 

 it {q). 



In an action which was brought on the warranty of a 

 horse, the breach of which was ivind-galls, a verdict was 

 found for the plaintiflf (r) . The wind-galls had probably 

 produced lameness, as there appeared not to have been 

 any dispute about the unsoundness, but only about the form 

 of action. 



Wind-suck- Wind-sueking bears a close analogy to crib-biting (s) ; it 



^°S" arises from the same causes, and the same residts follow. 



The horse stands with his neck bent, his head drawn in- 

 ward, his lips alternately a little opened and then closed, 

 and a noise is heard as if he were sucking {f). It is a vice. 



Wolf's tooth. In some few instances the second teeth do not rise 

 immediately under the temporary or middle teeth, but 

 somewhat by their side. The tooth is pushed out of its 

 place to the fore part of the first grinder, and remains for a 

 considerable time under the name of a wolf's tooth, causing 

 swelling and soreness of the gums, and frequently wound- 

 ing the cheeks. This is easily remedied by drawing the 

 tooth {u), and though an unsoundness while it lasts, no 

 dispute would be likely to arise in practice respecting it. 



Yellows. The yelloivs, otherwise the jaundice, is the introduction 



of bile into the general circulation, and which is usually 

 caused by some obstruction in the ducts or tubes which 

 convey the bile from the liver to the intestines. It ex- 

 hibits itself by a yellowness of the eyes and mouth, and 

 any part of the skin not covered with hair (x). It is, while 

 it lasts, an unsoundness.
