VETERINARY NOTES FOR HORSE-OWNERS 



AN £ VERY-DAY HORSE BOOK. 



By CAPT. M. HORACE HAYES. 



OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



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

 " Of the many popular veterinary books which have come under our notice, this 

 is certainly one of the most scientific and reliable. . . . 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 experience to touch upon several maladies 

 of horses in that country, where veterinary surgeons 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 comprehend- 

 ing : and, for the purpose of further smoothing his path, a chapter is given on 

 veterinary medicines, their actions, uses, and doses." — The Field. 



"Simplicity is one of the most commendable features in the book. What 

 Captain Hayes has to say he says in plain terms, and the book is a very useful 

 one for everybody who is concerned with horses."— Illustrated Sporting and 

 Dramatic News. 



" We heartily welcome the second edition of this exceedingly useful book. The 

 first edition was brought out about two years since, but the work now under notice 

 is fully double the size of its predecessor, and, as a matter of course, contains 

 more information. Captain Hayes, the author, is not only a practical man in all 

 things connected with the horse, but has also studied his subject from a scientific 

 point of view." — The Sporting Life. 

 " Captain Hayes, in the new edition of ' Veterinary Notes,' has added considerably to its value by including matter which 



was omitted 111 the former editions, and rendered the book, if larger, at any rate more useful to those non-professional people 



who may be inclined or 



compelled to treat their own Larynx 



horses when sick or injured. j ' Gul[ 



ho tar as we are able to judge, 



the book leaves nothing to 



be desired on the score of 



lucidity and comprehensive- 

 ness." — Veterinary Journal. 

 " Captain Hayes has suc- 

 ceeded in disposing of two 



editions of his manual since 



it was issued in 1S77, — a suf- 

 ficient proof of its usefulness 



to horse-owners. The pre- 

 sent edition is nearly double 



the size of the first one, and 



the additional articles are 



well and clearly written, and 



much increase the value of 



the work. We do not think 



that horse-owners in general 



are likely to find a more 



reliable and useful book for 



guidance in an emergency." 



— The Field.
