Extracts from Testimonials. (Continued.) 



" Your great work has been my constant companion for many evenings, and it is 

 needless to add that the company has been most agreeable and profitable. In face 

 of the many praises from competent critics, anything from me would be superfluous, 

 but I cannot refrain from pronouncing it a wonder and the kennel book of this or 

 any other age." 



Mr. Charles E. Bunn. 



" Am extremely well pleased with the typographical appearance, and its splendid 

 engravings, but more especially with the reading matter, which is certainly the best 

 ever given the Dog Fanciers of this or any other country." 



Mr. A. E. Pitts. 



" ' Kennel Secrets ' is an evidently scientific and practical work, showing advanced 

 thought and great labor on the part of our esteemed ' Ashmont.' It can be trusted, 

 and I commend it as a guide in the care and treatment of our much loved friend 

 the dog." 



Dr. A. G. Aldrich. 



" I am delighted with the binding and elegant engravings, but what is of a more 

 priceless value to us doggy men is the good solid food for study it contains written 

 in a clear concise style that needs only to be read to be appreciated. It is certainly 

 a boon to a lover of the dog, whether he owns only one or a large kennel. Should 

 this book be read as extensively as it deserves, there will certainly be less mistakes 

 from ignorance in the breeding and care of dogs in the next decade than there has 

 been in the last." 



Mr. IV. B. Me Cloud. 



" I do not hesitate to say that it is the most complete and comprehensive work on 

 the subject that has ever been brought to my notice. Every line in it testifies, not 

 only to the author's scientific attainments, but also to a thorough knowledge of dogs 

 and their treatment, which could only be obtained by many years of close observation 

 and practical experience." 



Mr. James Mortimer. 



' ' Kennel Secrets ' alone tells how to breed and exhibit dogs successfully. 

 Kennel Secrets ' alone tells how to properly feed and raise puppies. 

 Kennel Secrets ' alone tells how to wash and condition show dogs. 

 Kennel Secrets ' alone tells the best hair growing treatment for Yorkshires. 

 Kennel Secrets' alone introduces the fancier to the secrets of the kennel. 

 Kennel Secrets ' alone portrays the grandest dogs of two kennel worlds. 

 ' Manifestly, then, ' Kennel Secrets ' stands alone, and he who disregards its teach- 

 ings will count many losses and but few blue ribbons." . 



Mr. Charles H. Mason. 



" After a thorough examination'and perusal, I do not hesitate to pronounce it the 

 most remarkable book that has ever been published relative to the Dog. Not only 

 remarkable for its beautiful and perfect illustrations, which excel anything of the 

 kind that has ever been published, and for its general handsome appearance, but also 

 for the masterly manner in which the subject has been handled by its distinguished 

 author, who has gone into this work with a thoroughness of detail that is immeasu- 

 rably valuable to all breeders and others interested in dogs."
