When the horse, without any apparent cause, is running down, munching, or eating his food but slowly, especially if there is any lateral actionof the jaw, examine the mouth carefully to see whether there is any noticeable cause oftrouble in the teeth. If roughand irregular, they should berasped down. The method ofdoing this is now so well under-stood as to scarcely need ex-planation. The rasping down of ail ir-regularities should be carefullydone, and if there is a decayedtooth it should be removed bya veterinary surgeon who is conversant with the simplest and best method of doing it. There are regular horse-dentistry im-plements in general use for this purpose, which can be easily obtained. If the tooth has grown down below the level of the others, it should be rasped or sawed off to the proper dimensions, and care-fully watched afterward so as to remove any undue growth harmful to the opposite parts.
