On this shoe he claimed to have a patent. I was invited to examine the feet of several horses hav- ing these shoes on. In some cases the bars were separated from an eighth to a quarter of an inch, by the spreading of the quarters. This expansion was partly owing to the natural enlargement Qf the quarters by growth, and frog press- ure. But the same, or even better, results could have been obtained by the use of an ordinary thin shoe, as this would give the frog contact with the ground, provided the quarters were not unduly restrained by excessive nailing. Tlie shoe above described- would be of undoubted advantage on pavements or rough roads where the thin shoe could not be worn, as it gives necessary support to the frog, while protecting Fig. 404.—Showing arch of the the foot from the rough pavement; but, as explained elscAvhere, the frog will not always boar long-continued press- ure of this kind without producing harm. About twenty years ago, a smith nauutl Terrel, in Batavia, N. Y., devised a shoe fur the cure of contraction, with clips turned up at the inner side of each heel, with the for- ward part weakened on each side of the toe. The foot was simply beveled down, the shoe fitted to it closely so that the clips rested against the quarters at the point of the heels. It was firmly nailed on, well back upon the quarters on each side, and the quarters reck- lessly spread with the tong
