THE AMERICAN 
REFORMED HORSE BOOK. 
[OCTAVO.] 
A Treatise on the Causes, Symptoms, and Cure of every 
Disease incidetit to the Horse, includi?u/ all Diseases 
peculiar to America, and which are not treated 
of in works based ujxm the English works 
of Youatt, Mason, and ethers. Em- 
bracing also full details of Breed- 
ing, Hearing, and Manage- 
ment on the 
REFORMED SYSTEM OF PRACTICE. 
By Prof. GEO. H. DADD, 
Veferinanj Surgeon, " Author of Anatomy and Physiology 
of the Hoi-se," and late Professor of Anatomy and Physi- 
ology in the Veterinary Institute of Chicago, and for over 
25 years a Regular Practicing Veteiinai-ian. 
This is a fresh book, the result of a lifetime of labor and 
research on the part of one of the foremost Veterinarians 
of the age. Years ago. Dr. Dadd perceived that incalculable 
loss was being ent^iiled upon stock owners every year by the 
reckless, unnatural, unscientific, and cruel modes of treat- 
ment which were so generally practiced upon the Horse. 
Burningi lllistering* Bleeding by the gallon, and the 
giving of Poisonous Druas were the order of the day 
(and we are sorry to say such practices still find learned (?) 
advocates even in our day), and the result was that they 
killed more ifian they cured. Actuated by a laudable desire 
to rescue so noble an animal from such "heroic practice," 
Dr. Dadd adopted and strenuously advocated the Reform- 
ed Ststkm of PR.\.CTrrE, which, under the guidance of 
such men as Wooster Beach, John C. Gunn, and others, rose 
rapidly into popular favor in human practice, and de- 
monstrated beyond a doubt that nalure''s 7'emedies arc the 
most uniformly successful. Such was Dadd's success that 
he became widely known, and it was no unusual thiog for 
him to be sent for, hundreds of miles, to attend valuable 
horses. His career as a practicing Veterinary Surgeon has 
been one of rare success, and deeming it his duty to spread 
abroad among his countrymen a knowledge of Reform 
Principles, as applied to the Horse, he has prepared this 
work, and asks that It be candidly examined. Being a thor- 
oughly American Work, it quotes foreign authors but very 
little. It aims to treat fuUv and plainly, on rational princi- 
ples, every ill that Horseflesh is heir to, including those 
conip!aint.s peculiar to this roiintry, and which 
have liitherfo been but very imperfectlv treated of by 
authors aspiring to be educators of the public on Veterinary 
Science.

design is practicable, for there are hundreds of 
towns and villages, in all the States of the Union, 
in which the wants of the people conliniiiilly de- 
mand the erection of buildings, largely of wood, 
and which in the hands of the builder and work- 
man may be made elegant and pleasing in all their 
features, provided they have at hand a guide such 
as this hoolc is iutended to be.
