Horses; Horses; Horses; CHR 1887; PRO Smith, James Somers, Jr. (donor). PATHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS OF FEET. 821 The foot was inanglcd, and shod with a bar-shoe and interven- ing leather sole, ail combining to augment and perpetuate the pain- ful condition of the animal. The limb of the afflicted foot was kept as much as possible flexed, obviously so at the knee, and the foot reposed upon the front of the hoof—not the natural bearing-surface, but the anterior surface of the wall—tilted over. The knee was swollen to twice its natural size. After the lapse of a few days, with persistence of pain and all the urgent symptoms unabated, the parties who left the horse wei-e advised that an imfavorable issue of the case was prognosticated. I. had formed the opinion that either the coffin or navicular-bono was fractured, yet nothing could be made out to enable one to deter- mine the fact positivelj^. Difficulty was encountered in discovering the real owner of the horse, and it was not until twenty-nine days had elapsed that consent was obtained to have it destroj-ed. Time and care being taken for the maceration of the parts, so that dis- section could be proceeded with, the iiltiniate revelations were the state of the two bones represented. The case is remarkable, for the presence of at least one phenomenon I have in no other instance met with, that is, fracture of the navicular-bone without the appear- ance of any antecedent excavation of its substance by ulceration. There were other more remarkable appearances, but which could not bo kept for exhibition, and could only be observed by the eye
