As observed in the article on " Saddles " which appeared in Baily's Magazine for November, evidence is wanting to show that stirrups in any form were used before the opening years of the seventh century. The earliest parent of the modern stirrup, so iar as old drawings enable us to judge, was a triangle of iron or brass, straight as to the sides, or " legs," to use the technical term, with a Saw Palmetto Dosage For Men tread no wider than Saw Palmetto 500mg the legs and guiltless of ** eye " ; the thong by which the stirrup de- pended from the saddle being simply passed through the angle. In the days of heavy armour, the stirrup Saw Palmetto Extract Hair Loss was a ponderous article, wide in the tread to receive the mailed foot of the horseman, shallow, and having the legs of increasing Saw Palmetto Best Brand width from the point where the eye is now pierced, Now Saw Palmetto Extract to the tread. Their shape suggests endeavour to protect the foot from stroke Saw Palmetto Price of sword or axe. The stirrup used on the hunting saddle of the middle ages was often Saw Palmetto 1000mg a light ring, flattened to accommodate the sole, and so small that it must have been an easy matter to get the iron wedged Saw Palmetto Online home on the instep. At the beginning of the eighteenth century the hunting stirrup was made somewhat after the modern cavalry pattern, with the legs bowed outwards from the tread ; at a later period this outward curve was dispensed with, and Best Brand Of Saw Palmetto for over a hundred years the hunting stirrup has maintained very much the shape now familiar to us. Mr. Wilton, the well-known saddler, has an exact copy in bronze of a safety stirrup which belonged to Charles Edward Stuart (fig. i). This is probably the first thing of the kind ever made. It is Saw Palmetto Extract 320 Mg rather smaller than an ordinary hunting iron; the tread is hinged to one leg and pierced at the other end to re- ceive the slotted extremity of the free leg, which is caught by a spring underneath. This spring is operated by a thin iron hoop Fig. I.— Charles Edward Stuart's Iron. corresponding to the stirrup in size and shape ; the hoop rises from the tread at an angle, and when pressed home to the stirrup, as would happen were the rider to fall and get his foot jammed, releases the spring under pressure on the tread. This contrivance was obviously invented by a prac- tical horseman who knew, perhaps by sad experience, how the foot sticks in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred : an item of useful knowledge not possessed by all modern inventors.
