Prescriptions and instructions for treating the disease of the feet and legs of the horse . orm to an ordinaryhorseshoe, as per Fig. 3, to which is pivoted at center of toea movable quadrant, graduated or divided into 90 degrees, fromthe ground surface upward, and is operated by means of a leverworking the sweep of the quadrant forward and back. Thislever is also marked to a scale of inches and fractional parts, sothat the height or depth of wall is obtained at the same timewith its degrees of obliquity, which is pointed out by a stationaryindicator fixed perpendicularly to the toe of the bed-plate, regis-tering the angles of the foot upon the arc of the quadrant whenthe lever is brought forward to bear against the wall of the hoof. This use of the adjuster is represented in Figs. 4 and 5,which show the adjuster applied at toe and over the quarter ofthe foot, with their respective angles indicated on the quadrantand their height on the lever, as explained.
