Dr. Brackin sewed up the woundand applied healing ointments.After this had been done Mrs. Easton said to the man who had charge of thehorse: “Fanny doesn’t need medicine.All that is necessary is to wash the foot incold water and pray. She will come out all right.”Accordingly water was applied and Mrs. Easton began to pray. The horse’s foot, however, grew worse.
