geldom requiring more than two weeks, and usually 

 not more than one. Third : the operation is less 

 troublesome to the skilful operator, as well as to 

 the owner of the animal, as the colt is done with 

 as soon as it is let up, no after treatment as a 

 general thing being required, as in other methods, 

 Buch as keeping the scrotum open, &c. Fourth : 

 usually little or no swelling takes place, the 

 animal being scarcely affected in any preceptible 

 way by the operation. Fifth : there is no more 

 hemorrhage than by any other operation. An 

 experience of twenty years' active practice justi- 

 fies me in making the above assertions, averaging 

 over one hundred operations a year. Where a 

 sufficient number of colts are obtained in any 

 section of the country, to justify an excursion, 

 ".he services of Dr. R. Jennings may be obtained 

 to perform the operations by addressing him at 

 Philadelphia, Pa. 



GLANDERS. 



Thi«* subject being one of great interest at the 

 present time to horsemen and the public genor- 

 ally, and having in connection with the Phila- 

 delphia Society for promoting Agriculture, dis- 

 tributed 2500 copies of my pamphlet on Glanders 

 gratuitously, and the applications being several 

 thousands more than could be supplied, induces 

 the author to republish it in connection with this 

 work.
