Bemedy
for
Lameness
in
Horses,
Mr.
Sewell,
of
the
Veterinary
College,
stated
ms
having
discovered
a
method
of
curing
horses
which
are
lame
in
the
forefeet.
It
occurred
to
him
that
this
lameness
might
originate
in
the
nerves
of
the
foot,
near
the
hoof;
and
in
consequence
he
imme-
diately
amputated
about
an
inch
of
the
diseased
nerve,
—
taking
the
usual
precaution
of
guarding
the
arteries
and
passing
ligatures,
&c.
By
this
means
the
animal
was
instantly
relieved
from
pain,
and
the
lameness
perfectly
cured.
