ON THE NON-EXPANSION OF THE HORSE’S FOOT. 95 
tooether, where I have made a X, so as to leave the 
sides loose of the small piece,” to be pressed 
down into the bars, in the act of applying it to the 
foot (see A B). When used in this way under the 
leather, from its exceedingly elastic nature, it forms a 
most complete cushion for the foot, and it is next to impossible 
for any foreign substance to get under it. The expense is very 
trifling—about one shilling per sheet, which will cut out many 
soles and frog pieces; the remnants we used to pull to pieces for 
charges, and as a substitute for tow. 
Before concluding, I will just mention a case that you have 
brought to recollection, by your notice of Dr. Rayer’s book, 
which, perhaps, you may have an opportunity of further inves¬ 
tigating, and which I regret I had not a chance of doing before 
I left London. The case of the horse I knew. I attended it. 
The animal was glandered. The man whom I was informed had 
taken the disease from him was in St. Thomas’s Hospital in 
November last. 
[We thank Mr. Morgan for the hint, and will endeavour to 
obtain some account of this case.—Y.]
