A New use for Gutta-Percha.

--Gutta-percha is now used to protect the feet of horses from tenderness and slipping. It is first cut into small pieces and softened with hot water, and then mixed with its weight of powdered sal ammoniac, and the mixture is melted in a tin saucepan over a gentle fire, keeping it well stirred. When required for use, it is melted in a glue-pot, the hoof is scraped clean, and the mixture is applied with a knife.
