YETERINARY NOTES FOR HORSE-OWNERS. 



AN E VERY-DA Y HORSE BOOR'. 



By CAPT. M. HORACE HAYES. 



OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



Saturday Rcvieiv. — " The work is written in a clear and practical way." 

 The Field. — " Of the many popular veterinary books which have come under 

 our notice, this is certainly one of the most scientific and reliable. The author 

 lells us, in the preface to the first edition, that any merit which the book may 



possess is to be ascribed to tlie 

 teaching of the Principal and Profes- 

 sors of the New Veterinary College 

 at Edinburgh, where he studied. It 

 is much to be desired that every 

 student would make so much use of 

 his opportunities as Capt. Hayes has 

 done. 



"Some notice is accorded to nearly 

 all the diseases which are common to 

 horses in this country, and the writer 

 takes advantage of his Indian experi- 

 ence to touch upon several maladiesof 

 horses in that country, where veterin- 

 arysurgeons are few and far between. 

 The description of symptoms and 

 the directions for the application of 

 remedies are given in perfectly plain 

 terms, which the tyro will find no 

 difficulty in comprehending : and, for 

 the innpose of further smoothing his path, a chapter is given on veterinary 

 medicines, their actions, uses, and doses. This information will be most ac- 

 ceptable to the majority of horse-owners, and maybe invaluable on an emergency 

 when no advice better than that of the village cow doctor can be obtained."
