worthy of appreciation is its introduction in American veteri¬ 
nary literature by an American veterinarian, who, though yet 
young, has already made his mark in the performance of the 
duties of his profession. The work is divided into three parts. 
In the first the anatomy of the foot is considered, with its rela¬ 
tions to the entire limb. In the second the shoeing of healthy 
hoofs, with some'of the peculiarities of action and their winter 
shoeing. In the third the shoeing of defective hoofs, some of 
the diseases and injuries of the hoof, and the effects of shoeing. 
This chapter concludes with a few remarks on the shoeing of 
mules, asses and oxen. One hundred and forty-one plates illus¬ 
trate the text. 
At this time, when the art of horse-shoeing is receiving snch 
attention, when schools of farriery are being established all over 
the country, the translation of Professor Adams comes just at 
the right point. The author deserves the thanks of the profes¬ 
sion for his efforts, and our sincere wishes for the success of his 
work. 
Exercises in Equine Surgery. By Professor P. J. Cadiot (Alfort), translated by 
Prof. A. W. Bitting, and edited by A. Liautard, With 56 Illustrations. 
W. R. Jenkins, New York City. 
Another triumph for French veterinary surgery is the pub¬ 
lication and the success obtained among English readers of the 
translation of Dr. Bitting of the Exercises of Equine Surgery 
of Cadiot (Alfort). Students of American schools, those of 
Canada, those of England, and surely also all the veterinarians 
who practice principally surgery, will find in it information and 
suggestions of great importance, which, if ignored, might give 
rise to great disappointments and fatal terminations where con¬ 
fident results were expected from operations. 
Diseases of Swine. Written as a Text-Book for the Veterinary Surgeon, Student, and 
Swine Grower. By D. McIntosh, V. S., Professor of Veterinary Science in the Uni¬ 
versity of Illinois, author of “ Diseases of Horses and Cattle.” 
The above entitled work has been received from the author^ 
and proves to be a neatly printed and bound volume of 230 
pages, illustrated by a number of wood-cuts, and divided into 
twenty-four chapters. The author in his preface speaks of the 
absolute absence of literature upon the general diseases of the 
pig, and his aim has been to supply this want. He says, “ the 
subjects dealt with are based on science and confirmed by ex¬ 
perience, so that the'reader will not lose time in reading theor¬ 
ies which are not confirmed by facts.”
