VETERINARY NOTES FOR HORSE OWNERS. 



The Field." The scope of the 

 little work before us may be indi- 

 cated in few words : Captain 

 Hayes put himself under the 

 teaching of the principal and 

 professors of the new Edinburgh 

 Veterinary College ; and he im- 

 plies that the present book is the 

 outcome of his studies there, 

 added to his own practical obser- 

 vations. Most of the ordinary 

 diseases of horses are concisely 

 described, and a course of treat- 

 ment laid down for the guidance 

 of the amateur. 



" In the pathology and treat- 

 ment, the author quotes from 

 ' Stone-henge,' Percival, Gamgee, 

 Dick, and frequently from Profes- 

 sor William's book on veterinary 

 medicine and surgery. The whole 

 result is so far satisfactory that 

 the book may be consulted with 

 advantage by those for whom it 

 is intended by the owners of 

 horses who may find themselves 

 with sick animals on their hands 

 without the means of obtaining 

 the assistance of an experienced 

 Veterinary Burgeon." 



Irish Sportsman. " We can 

 safely recommend Captain Hayes' 



new work In the pages 



of ' Veterinary Notes ' there' is a 

 vast quantity of useful informa- 

 tion of a practical kind, which 

 the horse-owner w r ill be wise to 

 read, study, and inwardly digest. 

 The plan of the work is excellent 

 and practical ; the various diseases 

 are treated of in a plain and 

 simple manner ; symptoms are 

 closely described, and the remedies 

 are within easy reach." 



Veterinary Journal. " A handy 

 little book for the use of horse- 

 owners, which may prove of 

 much service to them when they 

 cannot obtain the assistance of 

 a Veterinary Surgeon, as well as 

 afford them some notion of many 

 of the ailments to which the 

 horse is exposed, and the manner 

 in which they may be best treat- 

 ed .... The book has several 

 well drawn woodcuts ; and the 

 frontispiece, giving a representa- 

 tion of good fore-legs, is parti- 

 cularly well executed. Altogether 

 we think the ' Notes ' will fully 

 serve the end for which they 

 were intended." 



Broad Arrow. " A book which 

 owners of horses will find truly 

 valuable. It is a treatise on the 

 pathology, treatment of the more 

 frequent diseases of horses, writ- 

 ten in a concise and popular form. 

 Non-professional readers are spe- 

 cially addressed, the author's ob- 

 ject being to inculcate a rational 

 method of treatment, and not to 

 furnish them with any vaunted 

 nostrums or specifics, which, as 

 he says, constitute the stock in 

 trade of the quack and empiric." 



Land, and Water " It is neces- 

 sary that every owner of a horse 

 should understand something of 

 the diseases to which it is subject, 

 and the remedies for those diseases, 

 and to such as these, the book 

 will be both useful and salutary. 

 The arrangement is excellent, 

 the several organs being taken 

 in physiological order."
