The American reformed horse book : a treatise on the causes, symptoms, and cure of all diseases of the horse, including every disease peculiar to America ; also embracing full information on breeding, rearing, and management designed for popular use . in the production of splent. Forexample: if one caulk of the shoe be higher than the other, orshould the foot be pared more on one side than the other, theeffect will be to throw the limb into a false position, which mayresult in ligamentary lameness and splent. Splent, howeyer, ap-pears sometimes without any assignable cause. On dissecting theimbs of aged horses, we frequently find the splent bones firmlyunited to the shank. The following is the opinion of Prof. Cole-man in regard to splent: * A splent once is a splent always. The two bones being onoeunited by ossific matter, this connection, whatever we may do orapply, will never be altered. It used to be the custom to removefehe splent with a hammer and chisel, but the production of alarge b lemish, from the destruction of skin, was the consequenceof this barbarous method. Another practice, as ancient and bar-barous as the former, was the application of corrosive sublimate. LAMENESS, FROM VARIOUS CAUSES. ^79 A PERFECT FOBE-LEO. II.
