lOCTAyO.'\ 
A Treatise o?i the Causes, Symptoms, and Cure of every 
Disease incident to the Horse, indudvig all Diseases

REFORMED SYSTEM OF PRACTICE. 
By Prof. GEO. H. DADD, 
YeteHnaTij Surgeon, " Ant/ior of Anatonvi and Physiologi/ 
of the Horse" and late Profiuhr of Anatomy and Physi- 
ology in the Veterinary Institute of Chicago, and for over 
25 yeaj-s a Regular Practicing Ytierinarian. 
Thia ia a freeh book, the result of a lifetime of labor and 
reeearch on the part of one of the foremost Veterinarians 
of the age. Tears aso. Dr. Dadd perceived that Incalculable 
loss was being entailed upon stock owners every year by the 
reckless, unnatural, unscientific, and cruel modes of treat- 
ment which were so generally practiced upon the Horse. 
Bcrning, BlIsteriiiEi, Bleedius: by the gallon, and the 
giving of Poisonoas Drugs were the order of the day 
(and we are sorry to say such practices still find learned (?) 
advocates even in onr day), and the result was that they 
killed more tJian they cured. Actuated by a laudable desire 
to rescue so noble an animal from such " heroic practice," 
Dt. Dadd adopted and strenuously advocated the Refoem- 
ED System op Practice, which, under the guidance of 
such men aa Wooster Beach, John C. Gunn, and others, rose 
rapidly into popular favor in human practice, and de- 
monstrated beyond a doubt that nature^s remedies are the 
most uniformly successful. Such was Dadd's snccoss that 
he became widely known, and it was no unusual thing 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 emotes foreign authors but very 
little. It aims to tre.at fully and plainly, on rational princi- 
ples, every ill that Horseflesh is heir to, including those 
complaints pecnliai- to this country, and which 
have hitherto been but very imperfectly treated of by 
authors aspiring to be educators of the public on Veterinary 
Science.

EXTRA CTS FROM yOTlCES BY THE PRESS. 
Ho (the author) describes the acliou of draining upon 
the soil, the construction of single drains and systems of 
drains, the cost and the profit of thorougli draina,:je. the 
making of tiles, and the roclainiing of salt marshes, 
treats sensibly of malarial diseases, and closes -with a 
chapter which should be widely read, on hou>^e drainage 
and town sewerage in their relations to tho public health. 
lP07iland (JAf.) Piess. 
Nowhere does this bock merit a wider circulation than 
in the West. Every year adds to the tbon^and:? of dollars 
lost to this State from want of proper surface drainage, 
to say nothing of the added gain to result from a com- 
plete system of under-drainage. This book will prove 
an aid to any farmer who may consult it.

ELEMENTS OF AGRICULTURE.

Formerly Agricultural Engineer of llic- Contnil I'ark, iu 
New York. 
CAREFULLY RLVISE1>. 
COIfTEyTS. 
The Plant ; The Soil ; SIanures : Mechanical Ct l- 
tivation ; Analysis. 
Tlie foregoing subjects are all discussed in plain :md 
simple language, that any farmer's boy may uuderslaiid. 
The book is written by a sacca^i-iixl practical farnur, and 
is full of information, good advice, and sound doctrine. 
HOR.A.CE GREELEY says of it: '-Though dcaling 
with facts unfamiliar to many, there is no obscure sen- 
tence, and scarcely a hard word in the book ; its 2o-l fair, 
open pages may be read in the course of two evenings 
and thoroughly studied in the leisure hours of a week; 
and we pity the man or boy, however old or young, who 
can find it dull reading. Hardly any one is so wise that 
he will not learn something of value from its perusal ; no 
one is so ignorant or undeveloped that he cannot generally 
understand it : and no farmer or farmer's eon can study it 
thoughtfully without being a better and more successful 
cultivator than before."
