Van Mator s Vetorinary Oplithalmology I find, to b© a very valuablo 
contribution to Veterinary Literature. It meets the needs of the practi- 
tioner and the student. The Kansas City Veterinary College gladly adopts 
It as its text-book on that subject.— Sesco Stewart, M.D., D.V M Dean 
of the Kansas City Veterinary College. * *’ 
The preface states that the book was written for students who wish to 
study the eye without having to peruse the many pages of books written 
solely for human students. We think he has succeeded in his task and 
produced a useful text-book for veterinary students. There is intrinsic 
evidence that the author is a practical ophthalmic surgeon, for such a 
book IS just what veterinary students want.—27ie Veterinary Record. 
It IS a concise and well-written little work, the result of close study 
and capful observation afforded him in clinical and private practice and 
irom pe perusal of the best and most recent works in that department of 
medicine and surgery, and intended to convey in as few words as possible 
a comprehensive knowledge of the subject to the busy veterinarian. It is 
^ ill ^ few words the latest research in 
ophthalmic medicine or surgery, and to the horse owner in a clear and plain 
manner the anatomy of, and the diseases that the eye is subject to and 
tieatment for the same. It is a book that should be in the library of every 
surgeon and horse owner.—/Spirit of the Times. ^
