in the land and none should fail to provide themselveB with a copy. 

 The Professor through this work becomes a public benefactor. — Th*

In the briefest possible way every disease is described, its symp- 

 toms set forth and the treatment prescribed. The man who resorts 

 lo the book does not have to wade through a sea of discussions to 

 find what is the matter with his horse, ox, or sheep and to diacover 

 the mode of cure. A book that will enable the stock owner to dis- 

 pense with the services of perilous quacks. The quaUfied veterinary 

 s'.irgeons will thank the Professor for his work since death to the 

 quacks means the promotion of their business interests. — The Tmrf, 

 Fieli and Farm. 



This is a splendid work, chock-full of valuable information, and 

 replete with practical tests, the author being standard authority on , 

 these subjects throughout the United States. It tells all about each 

 and every disease to which our domestic animals are snbjectj gives 

 hints about the breeding management and care of animals, in a word 

 it is just the thing for the farmer or stock breeder to have on hand 

 for reference. — Chataugua Farmer. 



Tars is a dangerous book so far as the interests of the professional 

 are concerned, as it is so plain and professionally correct, that any 

 common sense man may doctor his own animal. No farmer or 

 horseman can afford to be without a copy. — De. Horne in Country 

 Gentleman. 



Has been pronounced by the highest authority to be the best 

 book on the diseases of animals published. It is absolutely a ne- 

 cessity to farmers, treating the various diseases to which domesticated 

 animals are subject in an able and practical manner. — The Spirit of 

 the Times. 



A MUCH needed book. It is an excellent work tersely but plainly 

 written, and treats upon almost every ailment of domestic animala 

 in a manner that can be understood by any farmer of ordinary edu- 

 cation. Prof. Law is one of the most thorough of veterinary 

 scientists of the day, and we are glad that he so well qualified 

 should have undertaken the task of instructing farmers upon some 

 points that it is necessary for them to know. Many a valuable 

 animal is sacrificed and many a slight and arrestable illness becomes 

 dangerous and chronic because in its first stages the farmer does not 

 know how to treat it, and the aid of a quaUfied veterinarian is not 

 at once attainable. For these reasons no farmer's stock in trade is 

 complete without a work on veterinary surgery and we know of no 

 Tvork that fiUs the bUl so well as this one of Prof. Law. — Canada

Mucn as we despise the general run of works which profess to 

 make every man his own cattle doctor, good manuals on the veteri- 

 nary treatment of animals are much needed to guide tlie stock owner. 

 The dissemination of sound elementary knowledge i \ the diagnosis 

 and treatment of disease would be a great benefit. The farmer at 

 least should be more intelligent than the cow-leech, and should know 

 enough to dispense with his services. A well trair;ed intellect and 

 logical mind may be intrusted with some knowledge of diseases ol 

 aaen and animals without necessarily converting him 'nto an igno<
