Transcriber’s Note
There were a number of printing errors with this book, where lines were transposed or printed on the wrong page entirely.
[Page 9], the line “ones, as for instance, an elephant’s pulse rate is from” was originally printed on page 35 in the middle of a sentence:
“The ani-
[ones, as for instance, an elephant’s pulse rate is from]
mal falls off in condition in most cases.”
[Page 11], some erroneously inserted text has been removed:
“or hot bran, flaxseed or vegetable poultices. [It is com-
hot bran, flaxseed or vegetable poultices] It will usually”
The last line of [page 52] [possibly be bestowed upon the animal. The after-treat-] was originally printed as the first line of page 53, and the first line of page 53 [ment consists of allowing a liberal quantity of good nu-] appeared in its place. These have been reversed in order.
In the index, the entry for “Worm, Pin” was originally printed under M, and indeed the entries on the various types of “Worm” were all out of alphabetical order, so this has been fixed.
A few other minor typographical errors were also corrected.
