VETERINARY NOTES
FOR HORSE-OWNERS.
A Handbook of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery, written in Popular Language.
By CAPT. M. HORACE HAYES.
REVIEWS OF FORMER EDITIONS.
Saturday Review.—“The work is written in a clear and practical way.”
The Field.—“Of the many popular veterinary books which have come under our notice, this is certainly one of the most scientific and reliable. The author tells us, in the preface to the first edition, that any merit which the book may possess is to be ascribed to the teaching of the Principal and Professors of the New Veterinary College at Edinburgh, where he studied. It is much to be desired that every student would make as much use of his opportunities as Capt. Hayes has done.
“Some notice is accorded to nearly all the diseases which are common to horses in this country, and the writer takes advantage of his Indian experience to touch upon several maladies of horses in that country, where veterinary surgeons are few and far between. The description of symptoms and the directions for the application of remedies are given in perfectly plain terms, which the tyro will find no difficulty in comprehending; and, for the purpose of further smoothing his path, a chapter is given on veterinary medicines, their actions, uses, and doses. This information will be most acceptable to the majority of horse-owners, and may be invaluable in an emergency when no advice better than that of the village cow doctor can be obtained.”
