PREFACE. 



This marmal, as originally compiled by Alexander Plummer, D. V. S., 

 veterinarian, Fourth Cavalry, and Richard H. Power, V. S., veterina- 

 rian. Artillery Corps, was published in 1903. In this edition the work 

 has been revised by the compilers, assisted by Charles H. Jewell, 

 D. V. M., veterinarian. Thirteenth Cavalry, and Capt. Geo. H. Cameron, 

 Fourth Cavalry, secretary. 



Matter from the companion text-book, " The Army Horseshoer," has 

 been substituted in several places for that of the original. 



An original chapter on Trojiical Diseases, by Veterinarian Jewell, 

 and manj- illustrations from photographs and drawings, have been 

 added. 



Captain Cameron, in addition to his work on the revision of the text, 

 made the original drawings and jirepared the others for reproduction. 

 His valuable assistance is here acknowledged. 



The majority of the photographic work was done by First Lieut. 

 S. B. Pearson, Ninth Cavalrj'. 



The arrangement of the text has been adapted to the course of prac- 

 tical instruction, and the language, as far as possible, to study by men 

 who, as a rule, have had limited educational advantages. 



School of Application for Cavalry and Field Artillery, 

 Fort Riley, Kans., December 30, 1905.
