The slices should be made to fit the hoof and need to be reset once a month.

The permanent teeth are forty—­twenty-four grinders, twelve front teeth and four tusks, except in mares, which seldom have tusks.  The age of a horse can be told more or less accurately by the teeth.

The teeth are liable to disease and should be closely watched.

Bad teeth are often an unsuspected cause of indigestion, loss of condition, bad coat, slobbering and other troubles which puzzle the owner.  Horses very often have decayed teeth, and suffer with toothache.  These teeth should be removed.

Horse Diseases

If horses and cattle were left free to roam as Nature intended, many of their present-day ailments would be unknown.  Man has taken these animals from Nature’s broad garden, and confined them to the narrow limits of stable and stall.  No longer can they seek out and instinctively find just those roots, herbs, seeds, and barks which their systems demand.

This explains why Pratts Animal Regulator has been used by successful horsemen for nearly a half century, as it is largely composed of these same vegetable ingredients from Nature’s garden.

Merit and quality count, and while hosts of imitators have sprung up, none have ever come near equalling our product.  Pratts Animal Regulator restores to the animals their natural constitutions and functions, supplying just that which they formerly had, but now lack.  While not a cure for every disease, it is a positive preventive of the most common disorders.

It aids digestion and insures the animal receiving full benefit of its food; purifies the blood and keeps the bowels free and regular.  After you have accomplished these three things, you need not fear disease in the shape of colic, bloat, heaves, hide-bound, distemper, constipation, worms, and the like.

I shall be pleased to recommend Pratts Animal Regulator always, as my horse has gained in strength and weight and is looking fine, always having a glossy coat.  He works hard every day in the dray business.
