methods by means of which they were cured are carefully set 

 forth. We present some extracts from the chapter on the teeth 

 as indicators of age. (See pp. 204-5.) The treatment of this 

 subject is only an example of the fullness and accuracy of the 

 entire work. Uiica Herald. 



MR. W. H. CLARKE'S "Horses' Teeth" is a complete and 

 interesting treatise which may be accepted at once as both a 

 useful manual of equine dentistry and an agreeable study of 

 certain aspects of comparative zoology. Every possible de- 

 formity or peculiarity observable in the teeth of the horse, as 

 well as every roguery practiced on them by dishonest dealers 

 is fully handled, and a succinct account is given of all the 

 maladies of the teeth themselves, and of other organs with 

 which the teeth have a functional relation. New York Herald. 



THE treatise on horses' teeth by William II. Clarke, a metro- 

 politan journalist, has already attracted wide attention, and is 

 an invaluable work in its way. Great care and much labor 

 have been bestowed in its preparation, and the book supplies a 

 want that has long been felt by horsemen, farmers and the 

 student and practitioner of comparative medicine and surgery. 

 New York Graphic. 



THE title so fully describes the scope of the volume that 

 little need be added except criticism. The author is frank 

 enough to admit professional inexperience, but has made the 

 topic of the work a matter of careful investigation for a year. 

 He has wisely deferred to the opinions of naturalists and veter- 

 inary surgeons, and quotes liberally from their works in every 

 chapter, thus supplying a cyclopedic stock of information bear- 

 ing directly on horses' teeth in health and disease, which is 

 very convenient for those who keep or raise horses, and the 

 average veterinary surgeon. Phrenological Journal. 



THE thoroughness of detail with which every point relating 

 to the subject of this work is treated will impress every one 

 with its reliability and value. It is undoubtedly true that 

 much suffering, disease and death have resulted from ignor- 

 ance of what is herein given, and that much unintentional 

 cruelty to horses may be prevented by studying this volume.
