VETERINARY NOTES 
FOR HORSE-OW NERS. 
A Handbook of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery, written in Popular Language. 
BY CAPT, M. HORACE SAY Es: 
REVIEWS OF FORMER EDITIONS. 
Saturday Review.—‘‘ The work is written in a clear and practical way." 
The Field.—‘‘ Of the many popular veterinary books which have come uncer our 
notice, this is certainly one of the most scientific 
and reliable. The author tells us, in the preface 
to the first edition, that any merit which the book 
may possess is to be ascribed to the teaching of 
the Principal and Professors of the New Veteri- 
nary College at Edinburgh, where he studied. 
It is much to be desired that every student would 
make as much use of his opportunities as Capt. 
Hayes has done. 
‘‘Some notice is accorded to nearly all the 
diseases which are common to horses in this 
country, and the writer takes advantage of his 
Indian experience to touch upon several maladies 
of horses in that country, where veterinary sur- 
geons are few and far between. The description 
of symptoms and the directions for the applica- 
tion of remedies are given in perfectly plain terms, 
which the tyro will find no difficulty in compre- 
hending ; and, for the purpose of further smooth- 
ing his path, a chapter is given on veterinary 
medicines, their actions, uses, and doses, This 
information will be most acceptable to the majority 
of horse-owners, and may be invaluable in an emergency when no advice better 
than that of the village cow doctor can be obtained.”
