. Dr. Le Gear's stock book ... comprising a description of the general care, feeding and watering, stabling and breeding, and all the diseases and their treatment, of stock in Texas and the South ... Veterinary medicine. Dr. LeGeae's Stock Book. 51. Fig. 5. Dunn's Float in use on the Molars. points are formed on the outer part of the upper molars, which lacerate and cut the cheeks when chewing the food, and similar points on the inner side of the lower ones, which cut and bruise the tongue. These ragged edges would not form if the upper grinders were directly opposed to the lower grinders. Horses' teeth should he examined occasionally to ascertain whether any such points are causing the animal any trouble. On passing the hand into the mouth the sharp and projecting points can be felt with the fingers, and on examining closer the tongue and cheeks are seen to be sore and lacerated. The mouth speculum, or balling iron (Fig. 8), may be necessary in some cases when it is desired to make a thorough examination of all the teeth. The animal eats but little, on account of the great pain caused by chewing his food, which is cudcled and wasted to a great ex- tent. Nor does the animal drive as well as usual, being slow to answer the rein, and may while traveling carry his head to one side, consequently being hard to keep straight in the road. When these sharp projections are found, it is necessary to re- move them. The best instrument for this purpose is a tooth- rasp (Fig. 6), after which the animal should bo fed for a few.
