FOREWORD 



THIS treatise on the diseases of domestic 

 animals lias been written with the pri- 

 mary purpose of placing in tke hands of 

 stock owners, a book of practical worth ; hence, 

 all technical language or terms, as used by the 

 professional veterinarian, have been eliminated 

 and only such language used as all may read and 

 understand. 



The treatment suggested in each case is one I 

 have used and found efficient in my many years 

 of practice. 



If my readers will study and follow these di- 

 rections carefully, they will save themselves 

 much unnecessary loss. My confidence in 

 this accomplishment is my reward for my labor 

 in behalf of our dumb friends — the 'domestic 

 animals. T^^ Author
