ALPHABETICAL SUMMARY.
A BRIEF SUMMARY
OF THE FOREGOING MATTER,
ARRANGED IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER.
This abbreviation is made for the purpose of hasty consultation, when the symptoms exhibited by the horse are so urgent as will not allow the owner to refer to the body of the book. That, however, he is earnestly recommended to do after the first anxiety has subsided; because what follows is to be regarded only as notes of cases, and by no means to be viewed as a substitute for the more detailed descriptions of diseases and their treatment.
ABSCESS OF THE BRAIN.
