In the case under consideration the bone had be- come weakest on its inner half, precisely at the center line of the foot, BO depressed by its thinness that the foot tilted inward, and gave way immediatelj^ beneath the pivot, the mid-line of the coro- nary bone; this was also the fulcrum of the lever, the front of the bone being its point of resistance. As in the former case, the rais- ing of the foot from a plane toward a vertical line fractured the corresponding bone in the two cases in different positions, but through the same causes,—weakened hoof, and the other adverse conditions which led to atroj)hy of the bones. Fig. 722 is a representation of a fractured navicular bone, a casualty of more frequent occurrence to horses in this country than. is commonly known, but which has scarcely been noticed. Fract. ures of this kind ai-e effects due entirely to long-protracted ad- verse conditions of the feet, such as have been already dwelt upon. 1 have never met with a case of fracture of either coffin or navicular bone where previous long-prevailing diseased action of the foot was not manifest. In the instance represented above, the reader may see that the bone was extensively ulcerated and excavated like a decayed tooth, and at last the fracture occurred in two lines diverging from the excavated center to the antei-ior margin of the bone,
