PART VI. 

 MEDICINES AND RECEIPTS. 



MEDICINES. 



Medicines may be conveniently divided into three great 

 classes, according to the source from which they are ob- 

 tained, namely: 



1. Animal ; products of the animal kingdom. 



2. Vegetable ; products of plants, trees, roots, etc. 



3. Mineral ; products of the mineral kingdom. 



It is very important that persons interested in the study 

 of Veterinary Science should give the matter contained in 

 Part VI. their careful attention, as the names, sources, action 

 and use, as well as the amount to give as a dose, and the 

 time for operation, are carefully dealt with.
