22 AMATEUR VETS 



Life being too short and civilisation too compli- 

 cated for every man to be his own barrister, 

 solicitor, doctor, or vet, those who really wish 

 to learn the theory and practice of the veterinary 

 art, without passing the stiff examinations at the 

 Royal Veterinary College, should approach a 

 difficult subject in a spirit of humility. We 

 can conscientiously recommend the following 

 standard works for their perusal : — 



J. MacFadyean has written "Anatomy of 

 Domesticated Animals " and " Anatomy of the 

 Horse"; G. Flemming, "Practical Horse- 

 keeper," also "Horse Shoes and Shoeing" and 

 "Horse-Shoeing"; Fitzwygram, "Horses and 

 Stables" and "Notes on Shoeing"; A. P. 

 Chauveau, Traite d' Anatomic des Animaux 

 Domestiques ; C. Schwab, "Age of a Horse by 

 the Teeth," "Veterinary Counter-practice," 

 " Materia Medica " ; R. V. Tuson, " Pharmacopoeia 

 for Practitioners of Veterinary Medicine." 



Those amateur vets who are easily satisfied 

 with a smattering of a noble science, whose 

 branches spread over a large mental area, will 

 find these books have been written to suit their 

 tastes, namely : — 



The writings of " Stonehenge " ; " Veterinary 

 Notes for Horse-owners," by Hayes ; " The Live 

 Stock of the Farm," by Morton and Pringle ; 

 Morgan's Translation of Xenophon's " The Art 

 of Horsemanship." 



Cattle. — "The Bovine -Prescriber," by Gress- 

 well ; "The Yorkshire Cattle Doctor," by 

 Knolson.
