 by farmers. — iV. Y. Times. 



From the pen of such an author is a suflfioient inducement for every 

 one to buy and carefully read it. Will give to the common reader

 LiAUTARD, President Veterinary College, New Tork. 



It wiU prove of immense benefit to the farmers and stock owners 

 generally on this continent, and at the same time it will be of frveat 

 service as a book of reference to the veterinary practitioner. — Prop

A BOOK that no farmer can afford to be without. — Rural New 

 Yorker. 



This is a very useful work. It treats of the diseases to which 

 farm animals are subject in a very plain, practical and thorough 

 manner. — American Agriculturist. 



Though many books of veterinary science have appeared in this 

 country, prior to the one whose title we put in our head line, they 

 have all been so defective in comprehensiveness, and frequently so 

 untrustworthy in their teaching, as to render it most desirable that 

 some one fuUy competent for the task should undertake to furnish a 

 satisfactory work on the diseases of domesticated animals in the 

 United States. The republication of British authors has not supphed 

 the deficiency, as a difierent manner of feeding and a different 

 climate modify diseases, and indeed produce new ones which are 

 entirely unknown in the British Isles. Prof. Law, whose name has 

 for a long time been agreeably familiar to readers of The Tribune, 

 win be generally acknowledged as the fittest possible person for 

 such service, and we gladly commend the result of his labors to all 

 keepers of stock. * * * * Though we have dwelt chiefly on thai 

 chapter of the "Veterinary Adviser" which treats of contagious 

 diseases, on account of tbe great public interest that attaches to 

 many of them, the succeeding chapters are not less interesting to 

 keepers of live stock, as due attention is paid to all the minor mala- 

 dies to which horses, cattle, sheep, and swine are subjected. The 

 author's extensive knowledge of veterinary hterature and his varied 

 practical experience have been happily utilized by describing diseases 

 concisely and in language intelhgible to all. — New York Tnbune. 



Plain and practical it will direct the common farmer how to re- 

 lieve distressed animals whenever rehef is practicable. Pi-of. Law 

 in his book sets forth in the plainest language the knowledge he hag 

 gleaned both of the nature of the diseases which assail domestic 

 animals, and the proper treatment of them. And what is of quite as 

 much importance, he discusses the sanitary measures by which good 

 health and vigor may be preserved. — The Husbandman, 



Q'nis is a handsome duodecimo volume of over four hundred pages, 

 aid we are much pleased with it in the fact that the author has 

 labored to bring it within the comprehension of that class who need 

 it. Most, works of this class are lumbered up with so much learning
