The horse and his diseases : embracing his history and varieties, breeding and management and vices; with the diseases to which he is subject, and the remedies best adapted to their cure . her natural wolf teeth, or the germs fromwhich they are developed. It is a mistaken idea, that theseteeth exert any influence<over the eyes. Nature never placedthem in their position for the purpose of injury. In cases wherethe eye is supposed to be affected by them, it is simply neces-sary to treat the eye for inflammation, and allow the teeth toremain. As a general rule they do not remain in the jaw longafter being cut; having performed their function, whatever itmay be, they fall out and are therefore seldom found.

In the horse, however, caries is a very different thing,as far as its effects are concerned. It makes its appearanceupon some one or more of the indentations or depressions uponthe face of the tooth, attacking the crusta petrosa, (a substancenot found in the human tooth,) and extending from the facethrough the entire length of the toot
