m technical language, that they fail of ever meeting the wants of 

 laymen. Prof. Law has wisely avoided tl.is fatal error, and has 

 made his book what he calls it, a " Veterinary Advisor for Farmers."

Fkom a careful examination of the work it impresses us as one of 

 immense value to the hve stock interest of the nation, and a copy 

 should be in the hands of every farmer. It is comprehensive, in- 

 cluding the diseases of horses, cattle, sheep, swine and poultry. The 

 v/'ork is eminently practical. Some veterinary works are so tech- 

 iiioai as to be of little u.'se to the plain farmer, but this is made so 

 plain as to be readily comprehended by any man of ordinary intel- 

 lect. A most valuable feature of the work before us is an appendix 

 which gives the doses of the diflferent medicines recommended for 

 the different species of domesticated animals. The press uniformly 

 pronounce it the best work on the subject that has yet appeared. 

 No farmer's library is complete without it. — Southern Live Stock 

 Journal. 



I AM delighted with it. It cannot fail to be exceedingly useful to 

 the young veterinary practitioner as well as to the farmer. — Wil- 

 liamson Brtden, Esq., V.S., Boston, Mass.

" TiiE work is especially designed to supply the need of the busy 

 American farmer who can rarely avail of a scientific veterinarian " 

 says the preface, and a careful examination would lead us to indorse 

 this claim. The maladies are well described, their salient features 

 are given in detail, and as far as may be, their causes, thus affording 

 a guide to a rational treatment. The book is copiously illustrated 

 and has been prepared at considerable expense. We trust it will 

 meet with a successful sale, for we think it the most valuable book 

 on the subject that has yet appeared. — Scientific Farmer. 



Wk think, when the demand for veterinary literature is supplied 

 by works which are mere advertisements of secret medicines, it was 

 high time that some competent and honorable veterinary surgeon 

 should undertake the task of writing a work on the various diseases 

 to which the domesticated animals are subject in this country. We 

 think we can safely say that Prof. Law has accomplished this task 

 in a most satisfactory manner, as the various diseases are described 

 in as brief and plain a manner as is compatible with giving all the 

 information that is required on the subject. We most heartily com- 

 mend this work to the farmers of Michigan who need in their daily 

 jiractice just such a work. — Michigan Farmer. 



A VERY valuable book. It is full of excellent information pertain- 

 ing to veterinary matter which every farmtr should possess. It is 

 liberally illustrated, and although the text is very clear, the cuts 

 make it yet more easily understood by all who read it. — Western 

 Rural. 



One of the most valuable books ever issued from the American 



Eress, for the general farmer, is that recently published by Prol 

 law, of Cornell University, entitled "The Farmer^s Veterinary 

 Adviser." It is designed especially to supply the wants of Buch m
