TiioLTon 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 fully 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 supplied 

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

 climate modify diseases, and indeed produce new ones which are 

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

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

 will be generally acknowledged as the fittest possible person for 

 such service, and we gladly commend the result of his labors to a.\ 

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

 chapter of the "Veterinary Adviser" which treats of contagious 

 diseases, on account of the 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 Uterature and his varied 

 practical experience have been happily utilized by describing diseases 

 concisely and in language intelligible to all. — New York 2¥ibune. 



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

 lieve distressed animals whenever reUef is practicable. Prof. Law 

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

 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.
