Excerpt from The Diseases of Animals: A Book of Brief and Popular Advice on the Care and the Common Ailments, of Farm Animals

This little volume is based on an experience of some twelve years in Michigan, Connecticut and Kansas, as a practitioner, as a teacher of veterinary science to students in agricultural colleges, and as a lec turer before farmers' institutes. It has been the aim to give concise, practical directions that can be used by those who have to do with the care of animals. Special attention has been given to the use of domes tic and simple remedies. Complicated medicinal treat ment has been omitted, as not being practicable in ordinary hands. For the same reason, rare and unusual diseases are omitted because of the danger of confusion.

The writer will be glad to receive suggestions from those into whose hands this book may fall, as to measures that will make it more useful and practical.
