A New or Improved Instrument or Appliance for the Cure of Sand Cracks in the Hoofs of Horses and other Animals. I, John Arnold of the firm of Arnold and Sons, of West Smithfield in the City of London, Surgical Instrument Makers do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :— The object of my invention is to provide a simple and efficient instrument or 5 appliance for the cure of sand cracks in the hoofs of horses and other animals. According to my invention 1 arrange on a spindle which is screw threaded at one end with a right hand thread and at the other end with a left hand thread a clip or clamp free to travel on the thread. There is a nut between the two, which can be operated by a spanner. The clips or clamps are placed on the hoof one on each side 10 of the sand crack, the hoof being prepared to receive the instrument by filing a groove thereon for same and notches for the clips or clamps, the clamps clip in the notches and by turning the nut on the screw the two clips or clamps come towards each other and so draw the horn of the hoof together and the crack is thus prevented from extending. 15 Dated this 4th day of October 1887.
