in style — Whether that be of the Turf, the Chase, or the Road. As 

 usual in works of this nature, amidst much that is quite new infor- 

 mation, there is a good deal of intelligence, that is known to all 

 Training Grooms, as 1st. The mode of keeping down flesh whilst 

 keeping up the stamina ; 2nd. Of putting pace into the horse ; 3d. Of 

 improving his stretch and form of going, as well as sustaining his last- 

 ing qualities." Vide^ge, March 22. 



The Weekly Dispatch, sporting newspaper, goes on with its obser- 

 vations on the state of the Veterinary Art, that " the immense 

 advantages of all post mortem examinations, is evident to all bat the 

 meanest capacity, and was strenuously insisted upon in the Authors' 

 former volume, as it is again in this Grooms 1 Oracle in more familiar 

 terms. If the practice of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery is thus 

 in a fair way of being disclosed to vulgar eyes, and laid open to the 

 comprehension of ordinary minds, no less so is the Art of Training 

 horses into condition for every species of work here placed in a more 

 just and rational light than we have hitherto been in the habit of 

 hearing and seeing the subject treated of. By the way, we are very 

 much mistaken if the grooms' employers may not derive as much 

 pleasure and profit from the perusal of these Conversations as the 

 class of persons for whose use the volume appears to have been 

 ostensibly designed."

A NEW AND COMPLETE 



DICTIONARY OF THE VETERINARY ART; 



In which the Terms employed by various Writers, and the respective 

 orders of practitioners are explained, under their popular and scientific 

 acceptations : as are, also, the usages, remedies, prescriptions, varied 

 regimen, applications (topical and potential), bandagings, operations, 

 Materia Medica, &c. in the modern practice of Farriery and Horse 

 Keeping : compiled with a view to practical results only, and their 

 employment in the cure or mitigation of diseases in horses, dogs, 

 cattle, sheep, and swine. 



The whole offering the means of ready reference to every topic con- 

 nected with brute-animal economy in health and disease, in accidents, 

 inflictions, work, and management; as to comforts, privation, feeding, 

 reproduction, and culture; but divested of controversy, doubts and 

 jarring of opinions, and offering only the best and readiest modes of 

 meeting derangements of the animal system, and amending defects, 

 of curing disorders, and avoiding error.
