Lameness. 
Is  there  any  cure  for  my  colt?  She  is 
six  months  old  and  is  a  large  built  mare 
all  right  in  other  ways,  but  her  left  front 
foot  does  not  grow.  \Ye  noticed  it  when 
she  was  about  two  weeks  old  and  saw  the 
State  veterinarian  about  it,  and  he  gave 
11s  medicine  to  use  around  the  top  of  the 
hoof.  Then  it  seemed  to  grow  a  little  for 
about  four  weeks ;  then  tt  did  not  grow 
any  more,  although  we  keep  on  using 
the  medicine.  It  is  not  as  large  as  the 
other  one  from  the  knee  down,  and  she  is 
very  lame.  11.  u.  b. 
Maryland. 
There  is  little  chance  of  recovery  in 
this  case  as  apparently  there  is  some  de¬ 
rangement  of  the  nutrition  of  the  affected 
leg  and  this  may  be  congenital.  Hand 
rub  the  muscles  of  the  leg  three  times  a 
day  and  at  the  same  time  work  the  joints 
thoroughly  to  simulate  circulation  of 
blood.  Clip  the  hair  from  the  hoof-head 
of  the  lame  foot  and  once  a  week  rub  in 
a  little  of  a  mixture  of  one  dram  each  of 
biniodide  of  mercury  and  powdered  can- 
tharides  and  three  ounces  of  lard.  Feed 
generously  and  make  the  colt  take  exer¬ 
cise.  A.  s.  A.
