TH ACKER, SPINK CO,, CALCUTTA, 
The Veterinary Jotirtial. — "A handy little book for the use of horse-owners, 
which may prove of much service to them when they cannot obtain the assistance of 
a veterinary surgeon, as well as afford them some notion of many of the ailments 
to which the horse is exposed, and the manner in which they may be best treated." 
The Sporting Times. — "It is what it professes to be — a clear and comprehensive 
manual for all horse-owners, and, without trenching too much upon the almost 
sacred mysteries of the veterinary art, it places a valuable weapon of defence in the 
hands of those who may be out of the reach of professional assistance, and we 
should be glad to see it as a part of the ' properties ' wherever a horse is kept." 
Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News. — " Simplicity is one of the most com- 
mendable features in the book. What Captain Hayes has to say he says in plain 
terms, and the book is a very useful one for everybody who is concerned with horses. " 
The Sporting Life. — "We heartily welcome the second edition of this exceed- 
ingly useful book. The first edition was brought out about two years since, but 
the work now under notice is fully double the size of its predecessor, and as a matter 
of course contains more information. Captain Hayes, the author, is not only a 
practical man in all things connected with the horse, but has also studied his subject 
from a scientific point of view."
