In addition to the results indicated by the above-describedpathological changes, ossification of the sensitive laminae and. Fig. 71 represents a more advanced atrophied or absorbedcondition of the bone, with ossification of the laminae. suppuration are occasionally found, the latter occurring moreespecially at the coronet, detaching a small portion of the upperpart of the wall; whilst in other instances a serous fluid collectsbetween the sensitive and horny soles and frogs, and detachesthem from each other. Direct concussion causes laminitis, by its effects upon aU thestructures of the feet. Usually this form is confined to the twofore feet. But we must look further into the question, to under-stand the operation of inflammation, or even irritation of aninternal organ, in the causation of this disease. ^ Many writers state that affections of a serous membrane,such as the pleura, terminate, by metastasis, in laminitis. Ihave carefully studied the question for some years, and havearrived at the conclusion that such is not the case; that whenthe feet become inflamed during the progress of another disease,a mu
