This disease is afeverish. rheumatic in1anroa.
ton OF the sofs~solid parts inc1oaed in the hoofe
OF horses and cattle and has its principal seat in
the so-called aeshy 1aminR, which connect the
hoof proper with the interior Of tho foot. The
| courae OF this feyeziah, rheumatic Inflammation
| ia always acute IN the beginning; :whera We
| speak OF \ chronic founder, or lar,initis,. we
| mean those morbid changes and degenerationa
J that arc tho result Of the inhammatory process,
| aud, consequently, that chronic Inflammation
which is caused and supported BY those morbid
| changes.
| IT'S SYMPTOMS.
| . The symptoms Of = rheumatic fever, which
usually is Of q sthanic or inf1aumatory, not az
often OF an asthenic or torpid character, compli-
Gated with those OF an Inflammation Of the feet,
| constitute the principal symptoms !; therefore
tho diagnoaiB is not difficult.
The gait Of the patients is extremely lAbori-
ons, painful, nnd stin, and as, in most cases,
only the fore-feet are diseased the animal
draws the hind feet just as far forward as poa4-
bic, endeagozing to support tha-2hole weight OF
the body upon the hind legs. The horses stretch
thoir fore-feet forward move them only very. re-
1uctantly nnd carefully, and touch the ground,
instead Of with the toes, only with the hee1s. In
those rare cazes in which the seat Of the disease
is in tho hind-feet, the pntients seek to throw
the weight Of their body upon the fore-feet
and. where all four feet are inlamed, tho ami
mn1a ara in tho rrgstest misery. are acarce1v
