Coronary substance. lliere is no room for any swelling (the invariable accompaniment of that disease), and intense pain is occasioned, as well as rapid disorganization of the structure itself. The horny case is attached to the foot by a delicate membrane, which lies in folds upon the pedal bone, and it can be torn away by violence, or when putrefaction has commenced, with great ease. These parts are separately displayed. The several parts which we shall have to examine, commencing from without, are—1. The horny case \>r hoof; 2. The parts which secrete it; 3. The arteries which supply it with blood; and 4. The pedal bone and cartilages, as .well as the navicular bone, which it encases. The hoop consists of three distinct parts, which, though in the recent state they are inseparably united, may be readily separated after maceration for a few days. These are the external wall or crust, the sole or slightly concave surface forming the bottom or floor of the case, and the triangular central portion of this called the frog. The crust reaches from 'the edge of the hairy skin to the ground, and averages about three inches and a half in depth.
