GOOD CHANCE TO SEE THE 
WEST. 
On tlie 16th of June, and from the northwest 
States, East, 400 excursionists entered Nebraska 
by the Plattsmouth Gate. The train started from 
Aurora on the C., B. & Q. Railroad in Illinois, and 
drew up finally at Kearney, the westi rn terminus 
of the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad in 
Nebraska. The excursionists had a good time ; it 
is a delight to see the prairies covered with thick 
verdure, cultivated fields, and comfortable homes 
Everywhere it was manifest that Nebraska is 
making rapid progress in all that constitutes a 
slate—in agricultural and the manufactures im¬ 
mediately dependent thereon, in population and 
wealth, and in schools, churches and towns. These 
C. B. & Q. and B. & M. excursion trains afford ex¬ 
cellent opportunities for exploring the country. 
The time extends over 20 days; and, during that 
period, eyes that are open can see much. 
The same company will run one more Excursion 
from Aurora, Illinois, to their lands in Iowa and 
Nebraska on the 17th day of August, 1875, which 
will be the last one tills season. Tickets for round 
trip will be good for twenty days, and can he pro¬

THE AMERICAN 
REFORMED HORSE BOOK. 
{.OCTAVO.-] 
A Treatise on the Causes, Symptoms, and Cure of every 
Disease incident to the Horse, including all Diseases 
peculiar to America, and which are not treated 
of in works based upon the English works 
of Youatt, Mason, and others. Em¬ 
bracing also full details of Breed¬ 
ing, Bearing, and Manage¬ 
ment on the 
REFORMED SYSTEM OF PRACTICE. 
By Prof. GEO. H. DADD, 
Veterinary Surgeon, “ Author of Anatomy and Physiology 
of the Horse," and late Paofessor of Anatomy and Physi¬ 
ology in the Veterinary Institute of Chicago, and for over 
25 years a Regular Practicing Veterinarian. 
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, Blistering, Bleeding by the gallon, and the 
giving of Poisonous Drugs were the order of the day 
(and we are sorry to say such practices still find 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 Reform¬ 
ed System of Practice, 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. Such was Dadd’s success 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 quotes foreign authors hut very 
little. It aims to treat fully and plainly, on rational princi¬ 
ples, every ill that Horseflesh is heir to, including those 
complaints pecullai 1 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.

BY 
M. F. CUMMINGS, A.M., Architect, 
Associate Author of “Architecture, by Cummings 
& Miller,” and “Modern American Archi¬ 
tecture, by Cummings & Miller.” 
What lias been aimed at is this: To present a 
mass of architectural details, easy of construction, 
pleasing in form, and generally of an inexpensive 
character, and all so designed that a great variety 
of selections may be made from them, which, when 
combined in a building, will produce a harmonious 
whole; and it is believed by the author that this 
work will be found to be of value, and that its 
design is practicable, for there are hundreds of 
towns and villages, in all the States of the Union, 
in which the wants of the people continually de¬ 
mand the erection of buildings, largely of wood, 
and which in the hands of the builder and work¬ 
man may be made elegant and pleasing in all their 
features, provided they have at hand a guide such 
as this book is intended to be.
