of fruit contain no nOurishing qualities,

Dentistry on Horses,
II is generally believed, even among

sure Indication that the horse is affected
with that dreaded disease, CHAMBERS.
The fact is, cases OF CHAMBERS are few
and far between. c. ID. House, the vet
rinary dentist, says that in ali his expe-
rience he has never known of but two
cases, although he had known IF hun

been killed because they were supposed
TO he affected with this disease. Tie
whole trouble arises from neglect of the
teeth.

where the grinders had been worn

the inner lining of the mouth, keeping
