Note 



THE Author in presenting this small guide 

 has endeavoured to give a brief and 

 practical account of the commoner ailments 

 and accidents incidental to the horse, ox, 

 sheep, pig, dog, cat, etc., etc., and when necessary, 

 has indicated the lines of treatment and manage- 

 ment to be adopted in cases of emergency. The 

 reader must understand that professional aid is, in 

 the majority of instances, the most economical 

 after all, because of the uncertainty confronting 

 the amateur in the diagnosing of disease, which 

 may lead to the application of remedies altogether 

 unsuitable, to say nothing of the risk involved and 

 the dangers attending the misapplication of any 

 given remedy.
