DISEASES OF horses: 



The diseases of the horse are very numerous, 

 and many of them so complicated as to defy de- 

 tection/ except by those who are thoroughly ac- 

 quainted with the nature of the animal, and his 

 mode of living. This is the reason that horses 

 which have heen under the care of the farrier 

 are often returned to the owner in a worse con- 

 dition than when they received them. It is to 

 prevent this practice as much as possible that 

 has induced me to bring this work before the 

 public, in the hope of alleviating the condition 

 of that noble animal — ilie Horse.
