THE OX: 



HIS DISEASES and THEIR TREATMENT: 



With an Essay on Parturition in tiie Cow. 

 By J. R. DOBSON, 



Member of the Eoyal College of Veterinary Surgeons. 



Since the elaborate work of the late Mr. Youatt, no complete treatise upon the 

 Diseases of the Ox has been attempted ; and it is in some measure to supply this 

 deficiency that the Author \ has ventured upon 'the publication of this treatise. His 

 information is derived from nearly fifteen years' experience in country practice. 



The Author has endeavoured, as far as possible, to avoid the use of technical terms, 

 so as to render the work comprehensible to those for whom it is chiefly written— the 

 farmer and stock-keeper. He has, at the same time, no wish to make 'every man his 

 own cattle-doctor,' feeling convinced that those best [considt their own interests who in 

 all cases of difficulty or danger at once call in the aid of the properly qualified pro- 

 fessional man.' 



EXTRACTS FROM REVIEWS. 



' To farmers and breeders of stock this 

 book will be of great utility, as in it all 

 the ills to which the bovine species is 

 liable are described in language intelligible 

 to all.' Midland Counties Herald. 



' Every farmer and stock-keeper should 

 possess himself of this treatise. . . . By 

 all means let our farming and stock-keeping 

 friends put this work upon their tables, 

 ready for perusal.' Leicester Advertiser. 

 The Author has no wish to make every 

 man his own cattle-doctor ; but it is for 

 the farmer and stock-keeper that his book 

 has been chiefly written, and it will cer- 

 tainly enable them often to decide, without 

 professional advice, upon the treatment 

 which their live stock may require.' 



Athbn^um. 



'In the work before us we find everything 

 required to be known by the stock-breeder. 

 Mr. Youatt wrote an excellent book, it is 

 true, upon this subject, but it is more adapted 

 for the veterinary surgeon than the farmer, 

 who requires a treatise divested as much 

 as possible of technical terms. It is the 

 very book to be in the hands of every intel- 

 lectual farmer in the kingdom, as it well 

 supplies a deficiency which has long been 

 felt.' Derby Kepokter. 



! ' A work full of practical advice to 

 farmers, graziers, and dairymen.' 



Morning Post. 

 ' His intention was, he says, to make his 

 book comprehensible by the farmer and 

 stock-keeper, and we think he has fairly 

 succeeded.' Spectator. 



' We consider the work before us, from 

 its character, its convenient size, and its 

 freedom from unnecessary technicalities, 

 likely to prove exceedingly useful in the 

 hands of breeders and stock-keepers.' 



Bell's Weekly Messenger. 

 ' The present volume contains the most 

 modern and approved methods of cure, ex- 

 pressed in simple language, unfettered as 

 much as possible with technical terms, 

 which renders it the more acceptable to the 

 general reader.' Mark Lane Express. 



' The Author's directions are plain and 

 popular. The farmer and stock-keeper, for 

 whom the work is especially intended and 

 adapted, will have no trouble in following 

 Mr. Dobson in his descriptions, as well as 

 in his directions, diagnosis, and prescrip- 

 tions. The veterinary practitioner or the 

 cow-keeper who has not read Mr. Dobson's 

 book has much to learn in his profession or 

 calling.' Morning Advertiser.
