OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 
“« This book well deserves all the praise which we can accord it, and particularly 
when we know that it J:as been produced in the midst of heavy and exacting pro- 
fessional engagements. There was a at need for a good practical treatise on 
canine pathology and surgery, as the value of dogs has been so increased, irom im- 
proved breeding and the introduction and perfecting of fancy or useful varieties, 
that ‘dog practice’ has become an important and highly remunerative part of the 
veterinarian’s calling. Mr. Hm1’s work is of an eminently practical character, and 
his extensive experience amony dogs enables him to speak asan authority on the 
bj The arran t adopted is good, the descriptions are full and explicit, 
and the principles on which treatment is based are founded on our modern notions 
of pathological processes. The work, altogether, is a very creditable production, 
and a very valuable addition to veterinary literature. It will be found a good and 
trustworthy guide and book of reference, and we have no hesitation whatever in 
strongly commending it to owners of dogs, us well as to members of the profession.”

“A good work on the Dog was much required, and Mr. HI. has endeavoured to 
meet the requirement. The directions for management are based on sound prin- 
ciples, and such as should be observed by everyone who keeps a member of the 
canine fraternity in his establishment. The diseases of dogs are well described, 
some maladies finding a place for the tirst time; while the treatment recommended 
is judicious and appropriate. The accidents to which the dog is liable are fully 
treated of, their remedies explained, and the various operations rendered necessary 
at times, are Gealt with in detail. A number of good illustrations enhance the 
value of the book, which marks a distinct advance on previous works on canine 
pathology. and can therefore be recommended to those interested in this subject.”

“We have turned over the leaves of ‘The Management and Diseases of the Dog’ 
with great care, and have come to the deliberate conclusion that the book is one of 
those invaluable guides which no owner of a dog who is concerned about the welfare 
of his pet should be without.”—Jllustrated Sporting and Dramatic News. 
“Weare extremely pleased to see a modern work upon a subject which, as hinted 
in the preface, has been too much left to the mercy of individuals who professed a 
knowledge of subjects of which they were, on all scientific points, totally ignorant, 
Blain, Youatt, and Mayhew, good as they were for their time, are now out of date,’ 
and it was time for another work on an important veterinary subject by a com- 
petent veterinarian. This Mr. Hit certainly is. The book is one which is calcu- 
lated to be of considerable practical usefulness.”—Live Stock Journal. 
« An excellent and complete manual by Mr. Jonn W. HILL, F.R.C.V.S., whose long 
experience and careful research into all that concerns the well-being and usefulness 
of the canine race have here once more borne good fruit. He tells us, ina form 
which the most non-professional reader can well understand, all that need te 
known of the various diseases and calamities that befall dogs, how to keep them in 
health, to maintain them in vigour, and,to save them from the pangs of old age; 
allthat concerus their food, exercise; washing, medical treatment, and nursing. 
And this he tells us as he only can who has had Jong and practical experience of 
the value of every item of advice which he gives. To masters of hounds, as well as 
to every keeper of but a single pet, the book will be invaluable.”— Zhe Standard. 
**We have been much gratified and instructed by the perusal of this volume 
generally, and shall be slag. to call more particular attention toit on another occa- 
sion. Perhaps nothing has given ws more pleasi.re than the clear and persistent 
aim of the writer tocheck cruelty to dogs under whatever name—kindvess, sport, 
fashion, usage, ignorance, or superstition.”—The Am mal World, 
*« Altogether the work is an admirable one.”—Pall vail. 
* Affords a mine of information concerning the hygiene of dogs.” —Zoovhilist.
