IIOUACE GREELEY says of it; "Though dealing 
with facts unfamiliar to many, there is no obscure sen- 
tence, and pc.arcely a hard word in the book ; its 2.54 fair, 
©pen pageg 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 yonng, who 
can find it dull reading. Ilardly any one is so wise that 
lie 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."

THE AMERICAN 
REFORMED HORSE BOOK. 
iOCTAVO-l 
A Treatise on the Causes, Symptoms, ofid Cure of every 
Disease incidc^nt to the Horse, irwhiding all Itiseaxes 
peculiar to America, and which are not treated

of Youatt, Mason, and others. Em-

REFORMED SYSTEM OF PRACTICE. 
By Prof. GEO. H. DADD, 
Vetennary Surgeon, " Author of Anatom'i and Phy.'fiokHji/ 
of tke Horse," and late Profe^-sor of Anatomy and Physi- 
ology in the Veterinary Institute of C7ueago, and for over 
'25 years a Rerjnlar Practicing Vtfennaiian. 
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 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. 
Burning:* Blisterinsr, Bleediner by the gallon, and the 
giving of Poisonoas Drugs were the order of the day 
(and we are sorry to say such practices still And learned (?) 
advocates even in our day \ and the result was that they 
killed more than they cured. Actuated by a laudable desire 
to rescue so noble an animal from such "heroic practice," 
Dr. Dadd adopted and strenuously advocated the Ebfobm- 
ED System of Peactice, 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 nature's remedies are the 
most uniformly successful. Snch was Dadd's sncci^ss 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, anO 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. lieing a thor- 
oughly American Work. It quotes foreign authors but very 
little. It aims to treat fully and plainly, on nitinnal princi- 
ples, every ill that Horseflesh is heir to, including those 
complaints peculiar 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.
