Fig. —Indications of Fig. G9S. — Inflammation progressed so far as tocause caries of the bone. NAVICULAE-JOINT LAMENESS. 791 gained by this : First. Raising the heels from the ground throwsthe articulation of the pastern bone well forward upon the pedalbone, relieving pressure of the navicular bone from the tendon sup-porting it. Second, the removal of all pressure of the frog from theground, which aggravates the inflammation, and rounding the toe,aids mobility, and thereby lessens the strain upon the joint.
