Flexion of the digital regions is -often frequent during backing. If the paralysis lasts, and the subject is kept exercised, the wall is much worn at the toe. In a horse affected with this akinesia, after a violent contusion, 'Goubaux vainly tried blistering and cantherided pitch plasters on the course •of the nerve.
