In the preparation of this. department of our worl^ we have con- 

 sulted freely all the standard authorities on the treatment of hogs 

 and their diseases, and taken pains to have all remedies presented 

 by us verified from the best authorities ; and at the same time we 

 have made such additions as were necessary to bring them up to the 

 advancing standard of the present day. We desire in this connec- 

 tion to make special acknowledgments to a number of authors, 

 among, whom we may mention Clater, Armitage, Martin, Fleming, 

 and Long, the latter being the most recent and finest work on the 

 hog yet published, for which the Orange Judd Company, of New 

 York City, are the agents ; and all the works named may be had of 

 W..-R. Jenkins, 850 Sixth Avenu£, of the.same city, who is especially 

 known to us as an honorable and reliable dealer in works on vet' 

 erinary practice.
