10 PREFACE. 



the successful treatment of the same. There are 

 also some new and valuable hints on "Parturi- 

 tion," which will enable the stockmen and farmers 

 to deliver safely those difficult cases of parturition 

 in both mare and cow without the use of instru- 

 ments. All other diseases are treated in the latest 

 methods by the medicines with which I have had 

 the most success. This volume will also be of very 

 great service to the student in veterinary science, 

 as well as the young practitioner, as they will find 

 the experience of twenty-five years of successful 

 practice and teaching. The book is written so that 

 anyone can understand it, technicalities having 

 been avoided as far as possible. The need of such 

 a practical work on the diseases of horses and cat- 

 tle has long been felt, and in offering it to the stock- 

 man and farmer I do it with a certain knowledge 

 that it will accomplish for him all I claim for it.
