The writer of this work has endeavored to give the 
reader correct ideas of the nature and treatment of dis- 
eases occurring in that faithful servant and noble ani- 
mal, the horse. It is intended to supply the wants cf 
that class of agriculturists and horsemen— and their 
name is legion — who are in favor of a more panativc and 
rational system of medication than that recommended 
in many works on farriery. Such individuals, in conse- 
quence of the scarcity of competent Veterinary Sur- 
geons, are compelled to treat their own horses; and this 
work is intended to be to them, in the hour of need, 
one that will enable them to restore the sick and euro 
the lame.
