THE SOUTHERN PLANTER. 



THE HORSE, THE HORSE, 



NOBLEST OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS, and the 

 one most frequently ill-treated, neglected and abused. 

 We have just published a book so valuable to every man 

 who owns a Horse, that no one should Avillingly be without 

 it. It is entitled, the modeen horse doctor, and is fronn 

 the pen of that celebrated English Veterinary Surgeon, 

 Dr. George H. Dadd, well known for many years in this 

 Country, as one of the most successful, scientific and popu- 

 lar writers and lecturers in this branch of medical and sur- 

 gical science. The book which he now ofl'ers to the pub- 

 lic, is the result of many years study and practiced expe- 

 rience which few have had. From the numerous and 

 strong commendations, of distinguished men and the news- 

 paper press, we select the following: 

 Extract from a letter from Hon. John H. Clifford^ Ex- 

 Governor of Massachusetts. 



New Bedford, May 11, 1854. 

 Dr. Dadd, — Dear Sir: — I hope your new work on the 

 noblest creature that man has ever been permitted to hold 

 in subjection, (the Horse,) will meet with that success, 

 which all your elForts in this direction so well deserve. 



Your obedient servant 



John H. Clifford. 



From Hon. Marshall P. Wilder. 



Boston, May 13, 1854. 

 Dr. Dadd, — My Dear Sir: — I am greatly obliged to 

 yon for the valuable treatise, the results of your own inves- 

 tigations which you have recently issued, hoping that it 

 may meet with the patronage of a discriminating commu- 

 nity. I remain yours with great regard 



Marshall P. Wilder. 



The Modern Horse Doctor, by Dr. G. H. Dadd, is a 

 manual of genuine science, and ought to be owned and 

 studied on the score of humanity, as well as interest, by 

 every man who owns a horse. — Boston Corigregationalist. 



Dr. Dadd has had great experience in the cure of sick 

 horses, and exjilains the secret of his success in this vol. — 

 New York Tribune. 



The author of this work is Avell known as a most skilful 

 veterinary surgeon. His book is based on the soundest 

 common sense, and as a hand-book for practical use, we 

 know of nothing to compare with it. — Yankee Hladt. 



We know Dr. Dadd well, and are satisfied that he pos- 

 sesses most important qualifications for preparing such a 

 book as this. — Neiv England Farmer. 



Messrs. Jewett & Co. have just published a very valua- 

 ble work by Dr. Dadd, a well known veterinary surgeon, 

 on the causes, nature and treatment of disease, and lame- 

 ness in horses. — Farmer^s Cabinet. 



This is one of the most valuable treatises on the subject, 

 ever published; and no ov/ner of that noblest of the ani- 

 mal race, the horse, should be without it. Especially 

 should it be in the hands of every hotel and livery-stable 

 keeper. To many a man would it be worth hundreds of 

 dollars every 5'ear. — Lid. Democrat, Concord. 



By far the most learned and copious work on the horse 

 and his diseases we have ever seen. — A''. Y. Evangelist. 



One of the greatest and most commendable qualities of 

 this work, is, it is practical and plain to the comprehension 

 of those farmers and others for whom it is mainly designed. 

 The course of treatment favors generally a more sanative 

 and rational system of medication than that recommended 

 in any previously existing woiks on farriery. No farmer 

 or owner of a horse should be without this book. Stable 

 keepers, stage proprietors and hackmen, we believe, would 

 derive profit by having at least one copy hung up in their 

 stables for use and reference by their stable men. — Daily 

 Neu-s, Philadelphia. 



There is more common sense in this book than any ol 

 the kind we have ever seen, and farmers and owners of 

 horses would find it a matter of economy to possess them- 

 selves of it. It will be of more service than the counsel 

 of a score of ordinary doctors. — Albany Courier. 



We deem this decidedly the best and most reliable work 

 on the "Cause, Nature, and Treatment of Disease and 

 Lameness in Horses," ever published. — Nantucket In 

 quirtr. 



What we have read of this book induces us to regard it 

 as a very sensible and valuable work; and we learn that 

 those much more competent to judge of its value have given 

 it their unqualified approval. — Ev. Traveller, Boston. 



This book supplies a great desideratum, which Skinner's 

 admirable treatise on the horse did not fill. Every man 

 may be his own veterinary surgeon, and with much greater 

 safety to this noble animal, than by trusting him to the * 

 treatment of the empirical itinerants who infest the coun- 

 try. It is well illustrated, and should be purchased by 

 every man who owns a liorse. — Ev. Mirror, N. Y. 



This is a book that should be forthwith put into the 

 hands of all who own or drive horses, whether for the dray 

 or gig, for the plough, omnibus or road, for hard service 

 or pleasure. — McMakin's Courier, Philadelphia. 



A good, clearly written book, which should be in the 

 hands of every man who has a horse whose ills his afi'ec- 

 tion or his purse make it worth while to cure. — Bangor 

 Mercury. 



This is a scientific, thorough and complete treatise upon 

 the diseases to which one of the noblest of animals is sub- 

 ject, and the remedies which they severally require. — 

 Tioy Daily Budget. 



It is a valuable book to those who have the care of 

 Horses.— Hartford Herald. 



He is not worthy to have a horse in his care, who will 

 not use such a work to qualify himself for his duties to this 

 animal. — Commonwealth, Boston.
