⁂ The design of this multum in parvo volume has been to compress into a small portable manual as large a quantity of really important useful matter as usually occupies works of much greater magnitude, whilst adding thereto all the new discoveries in the art. This has been accomplished by a strict economy in printing, by a singularly terse style of writing, and the rigid rejection of numerous superfluities. By these means several new modes of practice, and valuable Veterinary observations, have been introduced—principally as regards Constitutional disorders—the Epidemic Distemper of 1832—Inflammation of the organs of life—Tumours—Liver complaints—Debility—Disorders of the Eyes—Crib-biting—Lameness—Bleeding—Physicking—Blistering—Surfeits—and the signs by which to ascertain what illness at any time impends over the ailing Horse.
