Speeication forming pa`rt of Letters Patent No. l 89,517, dated April 10, 1877; application filed February 5, 1877.
To all whom it 'may concer/n Be it known that I, CHARLES E.

Figure 1, a perspective view of the pad, and in Fig. 2 a section through the hoof, illustrating its application.
This invention relates to a device for moist ening or softening the hcofs of horses. Such moislening or softening is frequently required, and is performed by causing the horse to stand in a bath of some moistureas by bandaging the feet, or otherwise-and, generally, to the serious discomfort of the horse.
The object of this invention is to provide a means which may be easily applied, perfectly accomplish the object, and avoid the beforementioned discomfort; and it consists in a pad of a librou's or absorbing material, constructed to litinto the hoof within the shoe, and provided with means for holding the saine, as more fully hereinafter described.
The pad is preferably made from two thick? nesses, -A B, of felt, or any material capable of absorbing and holding a considerable amount of water, shaped to correspond to the interior of the shoe, preferably the one, B, slightly larger than the internal dimensions ofthe shoe. Between these two thicknesses the metallic strips a, more or less in number, are arranged, projecting from the sides. The layers are firmly secured together, and this completes the article.
This article, when required for use, is lled with water or other liquid with which it is desired to meisten the foot, and placed within the hoof, the lugs a passing in over the shoe, which holds the pad in place` and presents to the hoot' the necessary moisture. The moisture may be renewed by simply placing the foot in the liquid, or the pad may be removed and filled.
The pad is easily introduced at any time, and is no discomfort to the horse.
I claim- The herein-described moistening-pad for horses feet, consisting of the fibrous or absorbing material, provided with lugs a, for attaching the same within the shoe, substantially as specified.
