superior part of the keratogenous apparatus, of the eutidura; or

is, therefore, located under the horny box, and is more like the 
cartilaginous kind, which old hippiatrics, and especially Sollysel

very painful tumor is found; the foot is hot and the hairs staring 
on the site of the injury. If the disease has existed for some 
time, there is a separation of the hoof at its origin, due to a sero- 
purulent exudation, and under the hoof suppuration and mortifica¬
