AND THE “REFORMED CATTLE DOCTOR.” 
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 sanative 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 he to them, in the hour of need, 
one that will enable them to restore the sick and cure 
the lauie.
