Founder is an infection of the Frog. (The soft area on the bottom of the horses hoof.)
He recommended it so the infection could heal faster and the horse would be in better condition. (You might also want to issue a vet to come and check it out as well.)

Founder is actually another name for laminitis, which can be a severe condition in which the inside of the hoof becomes inflamed, the attachment between the bone and the interior hoof wall is weakened, and the bone can rotate and push through the sole.
An infection of the frog is called thrush. It causes a stinky black foul rot of the frog.
Founder(laminitis) can be caused by a diet too high in carbohydrates /sugars, and Saltpetre may possibly have a beneficial effect on the blood, assisting recovery, but only if the sugars and carbs are removed from the diet.
