The Foot of the Horse, or Lameness, and All Diseases of the Feet Traced to an Unbalanced Foot Bone, Prevented or Cured by Balancing the Foot (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Foot of the Horse, or Lameness, and All Diseases of the Feet: Traced to an Unbalanced Foot Bone, Prevented or Cured by Balancing the Foot
This work will be found to be entirely new, and on a different plan from anything of the kind which has yet been presented. The writers upon the subject of shoeing and the management of horses' feet are very numerous, but an analysis of their writings shows that the work of one is often merely a repetition of that of another. The author proposes to lay down a rule for every practitioner or operator upon the foot of the horse. The cuts and drawings are entirely new, differing from any others that have so far been presented to the public. They are the harvest or fruits of the seeds sown over forty-five years ago.
This work on shoeing will show that from one century to another, no science - either medical or mechanical - has yet arrived at the root of the causes from which result the daily ailments and lamenesses. It will cast a new light before the eyes of the veterinary profession, and prove clearly that, instead of the medical science which men have studied from one generation to another, their works have brought forth no recompense. Had they spent their allotted time in the study of mechanical science in reference to the horse's hoof, no doubt they would have found a specific for each and every ailment centuries ago.
