tion in Europe and extensive practice in thte country. These rare 

 opportunities he has improved to give us a work well fitted for the 

 American farmer, and the existence of such a book only needs to be 

 known that it may be appreciated and adopted. AH arranged so aa 

 to be easily found and with such plain descriptions as can be under- 

 stood by the unprofessional reader. — Massachusetts Ploughman.

Recipes and prescriptions by the thousand have been pubUshed for 

 the cuie of disease, and preparations and combinations of drugs have 

 been advertised and sold without limit by people who are as igno- 

 rant of the laws of health as they are unfamihar with the anatomy 

 of the patients they propose to cure. The " Parmer's Veterinary 

 Adviser" is a different book. We are not personally acquainted 

 with the author, but of this we are sure, that any one of ordinary 

 abihty can see at a glance that this book is an original production 

 and from beginning to end the author's own work, and is written 

 by one who understands his profession and knows just what he is 

 talking about. Unlike many books of its class, this not only gives 

 directions for the treatment of animals when they are sick, but bet- 

 ter still, indicates the treatment necessary to prevent animals from 

 becoming sick. It is a work valuable not only for reference in times 

 of trouble, but more than that, it is a guide to the every-day man- 

 agement of domestic animals with regard to their health and useful- 

 ness. The " Veterinary Adviser " is designed to teach the farmer 

 how to keep his animals healthy, how to know their diseases when 

 they appear and how to treat them. We have seen no book on the 

 diseases of animals which we can recommend with so much confi- 

 dence as this of Prof. Law. It contains over 400 pages, treats upon 

 almost every disease that animal flesh is heir to, and will pay for it- 

 self a dozen times over in the hands of every intelligent man who 

 owns horses, cattle, sheep or swine. — New England Farmer. 



He has undertaken to combine, in what may be termed a " Popu- 

 lar Medical Adviser," scientific and familiar language. And in this 

 he has succeeded ; that is so far as success is ever attained in such 

 an undertaking. The general appearance of the volume is excellent, 

 and we hke its arrangement. The chapters on contagious and 

 epizootic diseases and on parasites are concise, and may be suflBcient- 

 ly well understood by an intelligent reader, offering him a large 

 ara 5unt of information on very important subjects. The remaining 

 chapters, which are well classified for reference, may be advanta- 

 geously consulted by the veterinary student and practitioner as weii 

 as by otliers, who may be sure of their diagnosis. With regard to 

 the preparation of the foot of the horse in shoeing, we support the 

 opinion of Prof. Law in every particular, and there can be no subject 

 of greater interest to the farmer or medical man, dependent as they 

 both are upon the services of this animal. — Boston Medical and Sur- 

 pcal Journal.
