Since then, upon in-vestigation, I have found that theprinciple was we/ understood bymany old authorities, though themethod of treatment, as will beseen, was slightly different. On page 96 of Freemanswork on Shoeing, publishedin 1796, he says :— Fig. 550.—The Shoe Made Wider than Foot, with Clips at the Heels for Opening the Quarters. A French Fig. 551.—Form of Screw Used by the French for Spreading the Shoe. I have frequently bought horses whosefeet, on examination, proved to havecorns, occasioned by ill-made shoes hav-ing pressed upon them. These were, in general, easilycured by paring the feet properly where the grievancelay, and turning the horse out without shoes for two orthree months. In the supplement to Colemans work, pub-lished in 1802, the writer found, for the cureof corns, the shoe cut away over the corn, asshown by Fig. 58Y. Bracy Clarks work, published in 1809, givesan illustration of a shoe with that part whichwould come over the corn entirely cut away. SHOEING. 61 The half-moon shoe, or tip, by Lafosse, referred to hereafter, isclaimed to cure corns. Caesar Fiaschi, of the sixteenth century, gives a figure of a three-quarter shoe,almost the same form as that of BracyClarks, for this trouble. Whites
