"The Farmep's Veterinapy Adviser." 5s. 6d , Post Free. 



THE FIELD. 



" Mr. James Law — to whom we owe this volume — has given us the very best 



hand-book of its kind for a farmer to buy which we have ever seen 



Wherever it is difficult to obtain promptly the assistance of a competent veterinarian, 

 a stock owner should keep this volume always in his house for immediate reference. 

 The ordinary diseases of cattle of all kinds are enumerated and classified. Then 

 Professor Law states what are the symptoms by which diseases may be recognised ; 

 what is the proper treatment ; and what are the causes which probably induced the 

 outbreak. Then he gives a list of drugs, with the proper dose and action to be 

 expected. He has a chapter on special injuries to bones, joints, and muscles, and 

 he tells what to do when any one of these shall be first detected. Altogether this 

 seems to us to be quite a first-rate manual upon what our fathers called farriery for 

 ordinary country people." 



FARM AND HOME. 



"The best veterinary book on horses and cattle for a farmer's use is 'The 

 Farmer's Veterinary Adviser.' By James Law, F.R.C.V.S. There is certainly no 

 other book like this, especially at the price, 



"No more concise and reliable work on the treatment of animals in disease has 

 ever been offered to the public than this latest addition to the library of the farm, 

 and it is to be hoped that it will displace many of the worthless and antiquated 

 books on farriery that one so often sees at farm-houses, and which are consulted by 

 the farmer in moments of difficulty — often to his loss. ' The Farmer's Veterinary 



Adviser,' it need hardly be said, is up to date Each disease is 



briefly described without technicalities — symptoms, causes, prevention, and treat- 

 ment being given. There is an appendix showing the action, uses, and doses of all 



medicines used in veterinary practice The work in every way fulfils 



the aim of the author, which is stated to be ' to give the stock owner such infor- 

 mation as will enable him to dispense with the unprofitable and perilous services of 

 ignorant pretenders, and to apply i-ational means of cure when he happens to be 

 beyond the reach of the accomplished veterinarian. 



" Mr. Law, the author, is an English veterinary surgeon, as well as a professor 

 of an American university ; consequently every page of the 430 of which the book 

 is made up is reliable. The illustrations of parasites, of which there are a large 

 number, add to its value, and as parasitism is to a great extent preventable, an in- 

 vestment of a modest five shillings and sixpence will be amply repaid in this 

 matter alone." 



FARM. FIELD, AND FIRESIDE. 



" This is a handy volume of 430 pages on the prevention and treatment of 

 disease in domestic animals, and is such a work as the stock owner must find of 

 immense benefit. The symptoms, causes, prevention of, and treatment of all kinds 

 of diseases are given in a concise form, and numerous illustrations are to be met with 

 throughout the book, all of which serve to make the matter more intelligible. The 

 book is printed in a nice legible type, and has a good index at the end." 



COUNTY GENTLEMAN. 



" The diseases of all our domesticated animals, and the more important ones of 

 poultry, are described, and most approved treatment given. I have no hesitation in 

 saying that this is the most useful and therefore the best work on the diseases of 

 animals in the English language. It is wonderful how much information has been 

 compressed within the limits of a small volume. Before the publication of this work 

 a farmer was obliged to purchase a small library to have at command advice on 

 different diseases to which his animals are liable, and even then it conld not always 

 be relied on."
