PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION. 



O :- 



This work is much the cheapest of its kind ever published in 

 India, and the lightest (that it may be carried even when on 

 active service), though the contents could easily have been made 

 into a thick and expensive volume. 



For Military men, the rules for compensation for chargers 

 and for veterinary attendance have been inserted, besides many 

 practical hints. 



Diseases, their symptoms and treatment, are arranged in three 

 parallel columns. By this unique method, if it is not exactly 

 known what is the matter with a sick horse, the middle column of 

 symptoms can be first searched until those pertaining to the 

 case are recognized, when the nature of the disease and its treat- 

 ment are at once seen. 



The Glossary explains in simple language those technical terms 

 which often puzzle the reader of veterinary works, and there is 

 a Hindustani Vocabulary. 



A comprehensive Chapter on Lameness has been added to 

 this Edition ; also one on Betting, explaining fully the theory 

 and practice both in England and in India. 



The chief word of each paragraph is printed in capitals to catch 

 the eye readily, and a very copious Index reduces the usual 

 trouble of reference to a minimum.
