FARMER'S VETERINARY ADVISER. 



OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



" The author has accomplished his task with remarkable perspicuity and ability. 

 In this 'Adviser' we find everything necessary to be known by the amateur of the 

 more common, and even some of the rarer, forms of disease, as v. ell as the accidents 

 to which quadrupeds and poultry are liable — the whole being brought up to the 

 most advanced standard of veterinary science. We know of no work on the subject 

 in any language which, in the same space, embraces so much. While the tech- 

 nicalities of science are interpreted in words which must be intelligible to the meanest 

 understanding, and the whole book is written in a terse, attractive style, nothing is 

 omitted which pertains to the most recent investigations and discoveries. We 

 certainly have no book like this in Britain." — The Veterinary Journal, London, 



" This will be a welcome volume to all owners of domesticated animals. It is 

 Ihe work of a recognised authority, and deals with a subject of the first importance 

 to stock owners — the prevention and treatment of all diseases to which the animal-. 

 of the farm are subject. The book is thoroughly exhaustive on the subject, yet 

 brevity, both in the description of the disease and in the treatment to be applied, 

 has been strictly observed ; and for the farmer and, indeed, for all who may have 

 occasion to consult its pages, this will be a strong commendation. By studying the 

 pages of this excellent work, the farmer will be enabled, in many cases at least, to 

 cope with the disease affecting the animal. In urgent cases, and where distance 

 makes it impossible to have a veterinary surgeon on the spot at short notice, a book 

 that will aid farmers to deal with the patient will at once commend itself. And this 

 is just such a work — practical and clear in its descriptions. " — Farming World. 



" Professor James Law proves by this aluable little book that he has more 

 than ordinary claims to be regarded as a trustworthy adviser to stock owners upon 



the diseases of their animals We strongly recommend all owners 



of valuable animals, who reside at a long distance from a good vet. , to add this 

 inexpensive work to their bookshelf. It will tell them what steps it is best to take — 

 in most attacks of disease in live stock — before professional assistance can be 

 obtained ; and in many of the simpler mishaps it will make it unnecessary to have 



professional assistance at all Professor Law enumerates most of the 



ordinary forms of animal disease. He states in each case — first, the causes ; second, 

 the symptoms ; and third, the treatment ; and, in an appendix, he gives a list of the 

 principal drugs with the ordinary dose of each." — Live Stock Journal. 



" This is a really valuable work on the diseases of all kinds of live stock, which 

 every farmer ought to have on his shelf. It is published at a cheap rate so as to 

 bring it within the reach of all, and is written in a clear and lucid style, brought 

 down to the range of the plainest understanding. Every ailment, every danger, 

 every enemy without and within, with which the animal creation have to contend 

 is touched upon, and all that can be said in the way of information, advice, and 

 prescription for treatment, is substantially given as copiously as space will allow. 



The chapters on parasites — those dangerous intruders into animal 



organization which are responsible for so large a proportion of disease and suffering, 

 both in man and beast — are very interesting and instructive." — Agriailtural 

 Economist.
