Qleason's F4-orse Rook 



The Only Authorized Work by America's KING OF HORSE TRAINERS, 



PROF. OSCAR R, ^LEASQN, 



The American lad whose noble efforts in behalf of the horse have been highly 

 commended by the most prominent people of the United States and Canada. 

 The book is a Necessity to Every Horse Owner, for, in addition to giving 

 a complete and intensely interesting and instructive History of the Horse, it gives 

 in simple language, free from technicalities, complete instructions and rules for 

 Breeding, Training, Breaking, Buying, Grooming, Feeding, 5hoeing, 

 Telling Age, and General Care of the Horse. 

 The book also contains an excellent veterinary department, with a com- 

 plete index, which if used but once would 



SAVE A LARGE DOCTOR BILL OR A VALUABLE HORSE, 



for in it is described plainly and intelligently the exact cause and remedy for 

 each disease of the horse from A to Z, by Prof. Gleason, who is 



Recognized by the United States Government 



as the most expert and successful horseman of the present age. 



The book contains, in addition to the above, a sketch of the life and 

 work of Prof. Gleason, written by W. Fletcher Johnson, the New York 

 journalist and litterateur; a magnificent article on the 



CHAMPIONS OF THE AHERICAN TURF, ^ 



by Leslie E. MacLeod, Editor of the Chicago Horseman, the greatest paper of 

 its kind in the country; and a paper on the 



LAWS GOVERNING AUCTION SALES OF HORSES, 

 also carefully prepared by a trained editorial writer. 



The whole is illustrated with four magnificent colored lithographic 

 reproductions, produced at great expense from plates prepared by the 

 chief veterinarian of the United Stated Army ; eight hall-tone portraits 

 of famous horses (one of them showing the latest record breaker harnessed 

 to the new ball-bearing pneumatic-tired sulky), and 191 other engravings, 

 making, in all, 



203 Surpassing. Illustrations.
