THE CULTIVATOR. 
THE HORSE, THE HORSE, 
Noblest of Domestic Animals, 
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 entitled, 
THE MODERN HORSE DOCTOR, 
And is from the. pen of a celebrated English Veterinary Sur¬ 
geon, Dr. GEO. H. DADD, well known for many years in 
this Country, as one of the most successful, scientific and 
popular writers and lecturers in this branch of medical and 
surgical science. The book which he now oilers to the pub¬ 
lic, is the result of many year’s study and practiceal experi¬ 
ence which few have had. 
From the numerous and strong commendations, of dis¬ 
tinguished men and the newspaper press, we select the fol¬ 
lowing : 
Eztmcts from a letter from Hon. John H. Clifford , Ex- 
Governor of Mass. 
New Bedeord, May 11, 1S54. 
Dr Dadd,—D ear Sir :—I hope your new work on the no¬ 
blest creature that man has ever been permitted to hold in 
subjection, (the Horse) will meet with that success which all 
your efforts in this direction so weirdeserve. 
Your obedient servant, 
John H. Clifford. 
From Hon. Marshall P. Wilder. 
Boston, May 13, 1854. 
Dr. Dadd, —My Dear Sir:—I am greatly obliged to you 
for the valuable treatise, the results of your own investiga¬ 
tions, which you have recently issued. Hoping that it may 
meet with the patronage of a discriminating community, 
I remain yours with great regard, 
Marshall P. Wilder. 
The Modern Horse Doctor , by Dr. G. H. Dadd, is a man¬ 
ual 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.— Boston Congregationalist 
Dr. Dadd has had great experience in the cure of sick 
horses, and explains the secret of his success in this vol.— N. 
Y. Tribune. 
The author of this work is well known as a most skillful’ 
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.— New England Farmer. 
Messrs. Jewett <Sc 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 1 s Cabinet. 
This is one of the most valuable treatises on the subject, 
ever published; and no owner of that noblest of the ani¬ 
mal race, the horse, should be without it. Especiallly should 
it be in the hands of every hotel anti livery-stable keeper. 
To many a man would it be worth hundieds 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.— N. Y. Evangelist. 
One of the greatest and most commendable qualities of 
this work, is, it is practical and plain to the comprehension of 
those farmers and others for whom it is mainly designed. 
The course of treatment favors generally a more sanative 
and rational system of'medication than that recommended in 
any previously existing works on farriery. No tanner or 
owner of a horse should be without this book. ."Stable keep¬ 
ers, stage proprietors and hackmeuwe believe Would derive 
profit by having at least one copy hung up in their stables for 
use and reference by their stable men.— Daily News, Phila¬ 
delphia. 
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.— Albany Courier. 
We deem this decidedly the best and most reliable work 
on the ‘ Cause, Nature and Tr alment of Disease and Lame¬ 
ness in Horses,” ever published.— Nantucket Inquirer. 
What we have read of this hook induces us to regard it as 
a very sensible and valuable work ; and we learn tlmt those 
much more competent to judge of its value, have given it 
their unqualified approval.— Evening Traveler. Boston 
This book supplies a great disideratum which Skinner’s 
admirable treatise on fne Horse did not fill Every man may 
be his uw h veterinary surgeon, and with much greater safely 
to tins noble animal, than by trusting him to the treatment of 
the empirical itinerants who infest the country. It is well il¬ 
lustrated, and should be purchased by every man who owns 
a horse —Ev. Mirror, N. Y. 
This is a book that should be forthwith put into the hands 
of all who own or drive horses, whether for the dray or gig, 
for the plow, omnibus or road, for hard service or pleasure, 
— McMukin's Courier, Philadelphia. 
A good clearly written book, which should be in the bauds 
of every man who has a horse whose ills his affection or his 
purse make it worth while to cure — Bangor Mercury. 
This isa scientific, thorough and complete treatise upon 
the diseases to which one of the noblest of animals is subject 
and the remedies which they severally require.— Troy Daily 
Budget. 
It is a valuable book to those who have the care of Horses. 
—Hartford Herald. 
He is not worthy to have a horse in his care who will not 
use such a work to qualify himself for his duties to this ani¬ 
mal.— Commonwealth , Boston.
