 and 12 toendes = a laft : 100 tocndes of C3bpenhagen, an- 

 fwer to about 49-1 Englifli quarters. A laft of Spanifti 

 fait, or of coals, contains 18 toendes, and the toende = 8 

 fliiepers or 176 pots, which contain ji Danifti cubic feet ; 

 but Norway fait is fold by weight, and the toende muft 

 weigh 25olbs. Danifti weight, or 275 lbs. avoirdupois. A 

 laft of French fait, or of lime, contains 1 2 toendes, corn 

 meafiu-e ; a laft of oil, butter, and other fat fubftances, is 1 2

TOES, by anatomifts called d'lgiti pedis, are the extreme 

 divifions of the feet, anfwering to the fmgers of the hand, 

 and referabling them in figure, and make the third part uf 

 the foot. See Extremities. 



Toes, Adhefwns of the. It is a frequent thing to meet 

 with new-born infants with their fingers or toes cohering 

 or growing together, either by a ftridl adliefion of the 

 flefli, or elfe by fome loofe produftions of the flvin, as in 

 the feet of ducks and geefe ; and a diforder of the fame 

 kind is alfo fometimes found in adults, from accidents; as 

 when the fingers or toes, have been neglefted, after an excori- 

 ation of them by burns or wounds. In both thefe cafes the 

 furgeon 's affiftance is neceflary, partly to remove the deformity, 

 and partly to reftore the proper ufe of the fingers. 



Thefe adhcfions, according to the nature of the diforder, 

 are to be feparated by cutting out the intermediate ikin, 

 or elfe barely by dividing them from each other with a pair 

 of fcifTors. When this is done, to prevent their cohclions 

 again, each finger muil be inveiled feparately with a fpiral 

 bandage about an inch broad, dipped in lime-water and 

 fpirit of wine. • 



Sometimes the fingers, inftead of adhering to each other, 

 grow to the palm of the hand, from wounds or burns, fo 

 that they cannot be by any means extended, or drawn bac-k 

 to open the hand. The method of relieving this diforder 

 is firft very carefully to feparate the fingers from the adhe- 

 fions of the palm, without injuring their tendons, then drefs 

 them with a vulnerary balfani, and fcraped lint, and extend 

 them on a ferula or thick pafte-board ; and let them remain 

 in this extended pofture, feparately to be drefled till they 

 are perfeftly healed ; but at every drelfing they muft be 

 gently moved, to prevent a rigidity or ftiff^nefs of the joints.

Toe, in the Manege, is the ftay of the hoof upon the fore- 

 part of the foot comprehended between the quarters. 



We commonly fay the toe before, and the heel behind, in 

 French pmce devant et talon derriere ; implying, that in 

 horfes, the toe of the fore-feet is ftronger than the toe of 

 the hind-feet : and, on the other hand, that the heels behind 

 are ftronger than thofe before ; and accordingly, in flioeing 

 we drive higheft in the toes of the fore -feet, and in the heel's 

 of the hind-feet. 



A horfe that does not reft his hind-feet aD equally upon 

 the flioe, but raifes his heels, and goes upon the toes of his 

 hind-feet, is called in French rampin.
