. Breeder and sportsman. Horses. Cuts* shoniug heels raised. Cut >lnii\ inu method as slint-i iik and treat- ins Sidebone with ltedueine. Always raise the heel when treating Coeked Ankle, Sprung Knee or Bowed Tendon. SPECIAL DIRECTIONS FOR TREATMENT OF CON- TRACTED HOOF, NAVICULAR LAMENESS, BRIT- TLE HOOF, THRUSH, CORONARY LAMENESS, ETC. Every horse with a bowed tendon, sprained ankle, sprung hock or any chronic lameness, has more or less fever in the foot on the lame leg and the hoof on that foot is more or less contracted. The cure cannot be complete and permanent until the foot is treated and becomes normal. Therefore, always treat the foot while treating the horse for lameness of any kind, if he has been lame for any length of time. First have both hoofs ("in front or behind as the case may be) rasped on the bottom until they are level and true, and as nearly as possible the length that they were before the horse was first shod. Have the shoes made for both feet alike, a little larger than the outer edge of the hoofs—about as much larger all around as the width of a wide soft-pencil mark. Have the heels of both shoes raised from one-quarter to one-half inch above the level of the toes. Apply one heavy coat of REDUCINE to the bottom of the foot, and with a thin wooden paddle work it thoroughly into the cleft of the frog and into the crevices each side of the frog, filling these spaces full of REDUCINE to the very bottom. Then apply a very heavy coat of REDUCINE all around the coronet, from an inch above to an inch below the hair line. Rub this coat well in for ten minutes with the hand. At once apply a second coat as heavy as possible. Paint this strip once a day with a heavy coat of RE- DUCINE—one coat over the others—for ten days. Leave this entirely alone until it comes off. Leave it on as long as it will stay— the longer the better. Have the shoes reset once in four weeks, as at first, and repeat all the hoof treatment after each shoeing, unti
