After nearly sis months' rest, the horse was again put in training for a race, there being no indication of a return of lameness. At this point a new driver was employed, who took it into his head to put on thin-heeled shoes; the consequence was, the first time the horse was speeded, he again fell lame, when, notwithstanding all that could be done, the ease became chronic and incurable. As the first stage is that of inflammation, the object should be to use such means as will arrest this most speedily, be- fore any alteration of structure takes place, which is usu- ally in from three to .six months; for as before explained, if allowed to go on far enough to produce a change of struct- ure, or caries, the case will be past all cure. Treattnent. —The fiist and most im- poitant condition of cuie is rest; hence the horse must be at once taken from all work; he must not be, as is commonly the case, allowed to run even in pasture, or anywhere where there would be any freedom to run or walk around much; give him simply the limits of a large, level stall. Remove the shoe by rais- ing the clenches, and pull out the nails one by one; then cut off or hammer down the toe-calk, and partly turn up the toe like the ground surface of an old worn-out shoe. Next, raise the heel- calks from five-eighths to three-quarters of an inch, fit the shoe nicely to the foot, and nail on, being careful not to wrench or hammer it unnecessarily Ln doing so.
