After rain the wickets may be changed with the consent of both parties.
Seite 449 - ... with these a small piece of the thickened cuticle should be caught hold of and raised from its bed at the same time, then gradually closing the blades, it is removed without any great pain ; for if much is given, it is only necessary to raise the scissors still more, and, as it were, drag the corn out of its bed, when the pain ceases, and the excision of that portion is effected.

Seite 429 - Spavins, ring-bones, large splents, side-bones, and, in fact, all bony enlargements, are constitutional defects, and will be almost sure to be perpetuated, more or less, according to the degree in which they exist in the particular case. Curby hocks are also hereditary, and should be avoided ; though many a one much bent at the junction of the os calds with the astragalus is not at all liable to curbs.
Seite 268 - ... out of any place which shall be staked by order of the Lord Mayor of the City of London for the time being, as...
Seite 449 - This treatment will suffice for corns which are troublesome while training ; but when rest can be given they should be removed, either with caustic, as described for the soft corn, or •with tincture of iodine applied with a paint-brush. In either case the cuticle should be first pared down, and then one or other of the above remedies should be applied ; but the inflammation, especially after the second application, is considerable, and rest must generally be given. They are both, therefore, inadmissible...
Seite 97 - He has much to undergo, and should have strength proportioned to it. Let his legs be straight as arrows, his feet round and not too large ; his shoulders back ; his breast rather wide than narrow ; his chest deep ; his back broad ; his head small ; his neck thin; his tail thick and bushy ; if he carry it well, so much the better.
Seite 511 - That Bernardi's system is new, in so far as it is founded on the principle of husbanding the strength, and rendering the power of recruiting it easy. The speed, according to the new method, is no doubt diminished; but security is much more important than speed; and the new plan is not exclusive of the old, when occasions require great effort.
Seite 447 - ... but, in either case, the hands must be kept from water carefully until the expiration of twenty-four hours. If possible, three days should elapse before the oar is again taken in hand ; but if the oarsman cannot be spared, a kid glove should be put on over the collodion. When the feet are the seat of the mischief, there is the same necessity for the preservation of the cuticle, and the needle should be used in the same way ; if, however, this protection is removed, a piece of fine kid should...
