"India-rubber pads on leather enable many horses, whose feet are not sound, to work free from lameness; they also tend to prevent slipping. This is especially the case with Urquhart's 'bar pads,' respecting which my veterinary friends at Manchester, where they are largely used, inform me that they prevent slipping quite as much if not more, than the Charlier plan of shoeing horses."—Mr. T. D. Broad, F.R.C.V.S., of Bath.

Capewell Horse Nails "THE BEST IN THE WORLD"
Highest Award Chicago Exhibition, 1893. TRADE MARK Gold Medal Mid-Winter Exhibition, San Francisco, 1894.

The Capewell Nails are:—
"The Best Driving Nails," "The Best Nails to Hold," and "The Safest Nails to Use."
They never split in driving.
They never buckle in the hardest hoof.
They are flexible to clinch, and the clinch holds against any strain in service.
Their perfect points make a clean cut hole in the most brittle hoof.
They are absolutely uniform in length, breadth, and thickness.
They are manufactured in London from the best Swedish Iron, the quality of which is improved in compactness, tenacity, and uniformity of temper by the "Capewell Process."
As demonstrated by actual mechanical tests at Chicago, the tensile strength of the Capewell is greater than that of any other nail made. Thus it is that the Capewell nails never break under the heads but hold the shoe until it is worn out.
On Sale by all Iron Merchants, Ironmongers, and Dealers.
