“ A large number of Western apples and other fruits are described 
in this book, which are not found in other b oks of the kind?: and 
the rem -rks on the selection of varieties for Western cultu e, propa- 
gation, management, &c., as far as we have had time to examine 
seem to us judicious and valuable. Every nurseryman and fruit 
grower, especially in Ohio and the Western States, should procure a 
copy .” — Ohio Gidtivator . 
“But the chief value of the book lies in its practical details — in its 
classifications and specifications of the different methods of training 
they require. This branch of the subject, which is v- ryfuil, is copi- 
ously i lustrated by drawings .”— NoiHK Americ ii. 
“It is a book (hat every farmer and fruit grower may profitably 
read ” — Rochester Daily Aonei-ican. 
“As Mr. Edict resides in C'evelandheis much better acquainted with 
what fruits are adapted to the Central States than horticu'turists 
who reside on or near the At antic seaboard. This fact gives the 
work great additional value to those whi are engaged in cultivating 
'fruit in the Mississippi Valley.” — Democratic Press, Chicago, 
“ E liot’s Fruit Book is the most direct and practical of any treatise 
that has fallen under our observation ; clear and minute in its direc- 
tions, both as to modes of ca;ture and qualities of the different kinds 
and varieties of fruit. We recommend its purchase as an investment 
that will speedily return many hundredfold.” — Binghampion Demo- 
crat. 
“It contains much matter of practical va-ue to fruit growers in the 
new States.” — Rural Jfew Yorker. 
“ The great mass of the matter is marked with correctness and 
with much knowledge offruits, and the work will, of course, stand at 
the head, so far as its descriptions of Western varieties are concerned; 
and as such we strongly commend it to the fruit raising portion of 
the community ” — Qov/utry GenUema/ti. 
“ This work, from the examinati'm we have been able to make, 
will probably be found one of the best works on Pomology yet pub- 
lished. The author has had the aid of many of the best fruit grow- 
ers of this country, and gives drawings of numerous varieties of each 
class of fruit.” — Am. Farmer. 
“Mr. E liott has long been known as a practical horticulturist, and 
as an able writer on Pomology.” — Boston OiiMivator. 
“It embodies all the latest important information pertaining to 
■fruit culture, and we can recommend it as a thorough and reliable 
work — got up for its intrinsic worth, not for speculation.” — 2Po> them 
Farmei'. 
“ Such a book cannot fall to secure a ready^ and extensive sale in 
every part of the country ” — Oody's Lady's Book. 
^“Mr. Elliott is definite in his descriptions, and a man of experience 
in the culture of fruits in the orchard and garden, and favorably 
-known.” — PracUcal Farmer. 
The Modern Horse Doctor, by Dr. G. H. Dadd, is a manual of 
genuine science, and ought to be owned and studied on the score of 
humanity, as well as interest, by every man who owns a horse. — 
Bofston 0<’ngrega'ionuUst. 
Dr. Dadd has had great experience in the cure of sick horses, and 
explains the secret of his success in this volume. — N. Y. Tribune 
The author of this work is well known as a most skilful veterinary 
surgeon. His book is based on the soundest common sense, and as a 
hand-book for practical use, we know of nothing to compare with it. 
— Yankee Blade. * 
We know Dr Dadd well, and are satisfied that he possesses most 
important qualifications for preparing such a book as this. — Neva 
England, Fartner. 
Messrs. Jewett & Co. have just published a very valuable work by 
Dr. Dadd, a well known veterinary surgeon, on the causes, nature 
and treatment of disease, and lameness in horses. — Farmer's Cabi- 
net. 
This is one of the most valuable treatises on the subject, ever pub- 
lished ; and no owner of that nobest of the animal race, the horse, 
should be without it. Especially should it be in the hands of every 
hotel and livery-stable keeper. To many a man would It be worth 
hund eds of dollars every year, — Ind. Democrat, Concord. 
By far the most learned and copious work on the horse and his 
diseases we have ever seen. — F. Y. Evangelist. 
One of the greatest and most commendabie qualities of this work, 
is, it is p^^actical and plain to the comprehension of those farmers 
and others f r whom it is mainly designed. The course of treat- 
ment favors generally a more sanative and rational system of medi- 
cation than that recommended in any previously existing works on 
farriery. No farmer or owner of a horse should be without this 
book Stable keepers, stage proprietors and hackmen, we believe, 
would derive profit by having at least one copy hung up in their 
stables for use and reference by their stable men. — Daily Nefws, 
Philadelphia. 
There is more common sense in this book than any of the kind we 
have ever seen, and farmers and owners of horses would find it a 
matter of economy to possess themselves of it. It will be of more 
service than the counsel of a score of ordinary doctors. — Albatvy 
Courier. 
We deem this decidecly the best and most reliable work on the 
“C.iuse, Nature and Treatment of Disease and Lameness in Horses,” 
aver published. — Nantucket Enquirer. 
What we have read of this book induces us to regard it as a very 
sensible and valuable woi-k ; and we learn that those much more 
competent to judge of its value, have given it their unqualified ap- 
proval — Ev, TrareU'^^r, Boston. 
This book supplies a great desideratum which Skinner’s admirable 
treatise on the Horse did not fill. Every rran may be his o-wn vete- 
rinary surgeon, and with much greater safety to this noble animal, 
than by trusting him to the treatment of the empirical itinerants 
who infest the country. It is well illustrated, and should be pur- 
chased by every man who owns a horse. — Eo. Mirror, N. Y. 
“From what we have seen and read, we cannot hesitate in recom- 
mending it as in many respects tlie most complete and valuable book 
-of the kind in existeoce. The descriptions of fruit are full, clear, and 
methodical ; and the illustrations of the best order — not mere out- 
lines — but full, or haif sectional figures, with cores, seeds, &c , as true 
-to nature as we have ever seen. The book cannot fail of being use- 
ful in a high degree.” — Prairie Farmer. 
“ The author of this work now before us has given us a very valu- 
able work on the cultivation of fruits. He was amply qualified to do 
so, having been for ten years engaged in ‘ the nurturing of trees and 
noting their products.’ ” — Michigan Farmer.

A nd the one most frequently ill-treated, neglected and abused. 
We have just published a book so valuable to every man who 
■owns a Horse, that no one should willingly be without it It is en- 
titled, THE MODfi/RN HORSE DOCTOR, and is from the pen of 
that celebrated English Veterinary Surgeon, Dr. Geo. H. Dadd, well 
known for many years in this country, as one of the most success- 
ful, scien ific and popular writers and lecturers in this branch of 
medical and surgical science. The book which he now offers to the 
public, is the result of many year’s study and practiced experience 
which few have had. 
From the numerous and strong commendations of distinguished 
men and the newspaper press, the following : 
Extracts from a letter from John H. Clifford, Ex- Governor 
qf MassacUdsetts. 
New Bedford, May 11, 1854. 
Dr. Dadd, — ^Dear Sir : — I hope your new work on the noblest crea-
