THE GENESEE FARMER. 



THE HORSE, THE HOESE, 



NOBLEST OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS, 



AND the one most frequently ill-treated, neglected and abused. 

 We have just published a book so valuable to every man who 

 owns a horse, that no one should willingly be without it. It is 

 entitled, 



THE MODKRIV HORSE DOCTOR, 

 and is from the pen of that celebrated English Veterinary Surgeon, 

 Di\ GEO. II. D.VDD, well known for many years in this country as 

 one of the most successful, scientific and popular writers and lec- 

 turers in this branch of medical and surgical science. Tlie book 

 which he now olfers to the public is the result of many years' study 

 and practiced experience, which few have had. 



From the numerous and strong commendations of distinguished 

 men and the newspaper press, we select the following : 

 Eiir act from a letter from Hon. John H. Clifford, Ez-Goveror of 

 Ma3sachutett3. 



New Bedford, May 11, 1854. 

 Dr. Dadh — Dear Sir : — I hope that your new work on the noblest 

 creature that man h;us ever been permitted to hold in subjection 

 (the Horse), will meet with that success which all your ellorts in 

 this direction so well deserve. Your obedient servant, 



Jou.v H. Clifford. 



From Hon. Marshall P. Tfilder. 



Boston, May 13, 1S54. 

 Dr. Dadd — My Dear Sir : — I am greatly obliged to you for the 

 valuable treatise, the results of your own investigations, which you 

 have recently issued, hoping that it may meet with the patronage 

 of a discriminating community. 



I remain yours with great regard, 



MARSu.iLi. P. Wilder. 



The Modern H(,rse Doctor, by Dr. G. H. Dadd, is a manual of 

 genuine science, and ought to be owned and studied on the score 

 humanity, as well as interest, by every man who owns a horse. — 

 Boiton Congrei^ationalist. 



Dr. Dadd has had great experience in the cure of sick horses, 

 and exjilains the secret of his success in this volume. — New York 

 Tribune. 



The author of this work is well known as a mo't skillful veteri- 

 nary surgeon. His book is based on the soundest common sense ; 

 and as a hand-book for practical use, we know of nothing to com- 

 pare with it. — Yankee Blade. 



We know Dr. Dadd well, and are satisfied that he possesses most 

 important qualifications for preparing such a book as this. — New 

 England Farmer. 



Messrs. Jewett & Co. have just published a verj' valuable work 

 by Dr. Dadd, a well-known veterinary surgeon, on the causes, na- 

 ture and treatment of disease, and lameness in horses. — Farmer's 

 Cabinet. 



This is one of the most valuable treatises on the subject ever 

 published ; and no owner of that noblest of the animal race, the 

 horse, should be without it. Especially should it be in the hands 

 of every hotel and livery-stable keeper. To many a man w ould it 

 be worth hundreds of dollars every year. — bid. Dem., Concord. 



By far the most learned and copious work on the horse and his 

 diseases we have ever seen. — New York Evangelist. 



One of the greatest and most commendable qualities of this 

 work, is, it is practical and plain to tlie comprehension of those 

 farmers and others for whom it is mainly designed. The course of 

 treatment favors generally a more sanative and rational system of 

 medication than that recommended in any previously existing 

 works on farriery. No farmer or owner of a horse should he with- 

 out this book. Stable keepers, stage proprietors and hackmen we 

 believe would derive profit by having at least one copy hung up in 

 their stables for use and reference by their stable men. — Daily 

 News, Philadelphia, 



There is more common sense in this book than any of the kind 

 we have ever seen, and farmers and owners of hor.ses would find it 

 a matter of economy to possess themselves of it. It will be of 

 more sernce than the counsel of a score of ordinary doctors. — 

 Albany Courier. 



We deem this decidedly the best and most reliable work on the 

 " Cause. Nature and Treatment of Disease and Lameness in Horses," 

 ever published. — Nantucket Inquirer. 



What we have read of this book induces us to regard it as a very 

 aensible and valu.able work ; and we learn that those much more 

 competent to juda:e of its value, have given it their unqualified 

 approval. — Ev. Traveler, Boston. 



This book supplies a great desideratum, which Skinner's admira- 

 ble trea'ise on the Horse did not fill. Every man may be his own 

 ▼aterinary surgeon, and with much greater safety to this noble ani- 

 mal, than by trusting him to the treatment of the eni]>irical 

 ilinera'.ils who infest the country. It is well illustrated, and siniuld 

 be purchased by every man who owns a horse. — Ev. Mirror, N. Y. 



This is a book which should be forthwith put into the hands of 

 all who own or drive horses, whether for the dray or gig, for the 

 plow, omnibus or road, for hard service or pleasure. — McMakiiit 

 Courier, Philadelphia. 



A goofl, clearly-written book, which should be in the hands of 

 every man who has a horse whose ills his affection or his purse 

 make it worth while to cure. — Bangor Mercury. 



This is a scientific, thorough and complete treatise upon the 

 disea.ses to winch one of the noblest of animals is subject, and thte 

 remedies which they severally require. — Troy Daily Budget. 



It is a valuable book to those who have the care of horses^ — 

 Hartford Herald. 



He is not worthy to have a horse in Jiis care, who will not usa 

 such a work to qualify himself for his duties to this animal. — Com- 

 monwealth, Boston.

THE SCIENCE OF NATURE. 



A NEW SCHOOL BOOK, 



EXTITLKD 



FIRST LESSONS IN 



CHEMISTRY AND GEOLOGY, 



As Applied to Agriculture. 



BY J. E.MEKSON KE.NT, A. M., JI. D. 



ANEW school book — -the first American work ever issued as the 

 first book, or " First Lessons in Chemistry and Geology, as 

 applied to Agriculture," designed as the first step for the young, 

 to be used in all our common schools, is now submitted to tbo 

 educational public. Some indeed protest against the introduction 

 of all modern improvements in making the earth productive; still 

 the great agricultural interests of our nation depend upon a rising 

 generation of practical farmers, who will till the soil as much bj' a 

 comprehensive knowledge of the laws of chemistry, as by the 

 sweat of the brow. 



The subject of agi-icultural chemistry cannot but soon commend 

 itself to the world as the most impoitant of .all studies, and, in fact, 

 the wealth of this country would be doubled within one year were 

 all that saved which is now b st by stupid, bungling agricultur(>. 

 A volume of recommendations could be given to the public, hut it 

 is not necessary. 



School Committees and Teachers will be furnished with a copj^ 

 gratis, for examination, by mail, post-paid, on ajiplication to the 

 undersigned. Price 25 cents.
