THE HORSE, COW AND DOG, WITH ANIMAL CHARACTERISTICS. 
By the same. 
To his abilities as a writer on important professional subjects 
Prof. Walley adds those of a poet. Whoever will read his 
“ The Hcjrse’s Troublous Life,” “ The Life of a Dairy Cow,” and 
“ The Life of a Dog,” will pass interesting hours, and, like the 
author, find valuable subjects of thought, so well and kindly ex¬ 
pressed in “ Animal Characteristics.” 
THOMAS’ MEDICAL DICTIONARY. 
The well-known veterinary publication house of W. R. Jenkins 
has sent us a copy of this new and excellent book. It comes be¬ 
fore the medical profession with the design of supplying the wants 
of those who commence the study of medicine and affiliated 
sciences, and, though seeming to contain but few medical veteri¬ 
nary terms, will no doubt prove very advantageous to the veteri¬ 
nary student. The book is handsomely brought out and the price 
so low as to bring it within reach of a small-sized purse.
