Veterinary Notes For Horse Owners A Manual Of Horse Medicine And Surgery Written In Popular Language PDF Download

Excerpt from Veterinary Notes for Horse Owners: A Manual of Horse Medicine and Surgery, Written in Popular Language As the first edition of the Notes had sold out before the end of my second year's veterinary course, I was able to add a great deal of useful new matter to the second edition, which received increased appreciation from the public. I brought out the third edition after I had obtained the diploma of the and had retired from the Army. Since those ancient times, I have continued to treat this work as a horse-owner's note-book, in which I have recorded all the useful veterinary information I have been able to obtain about horses, from personal experience, friends and books. Hence it is invaluable to me as a work of reference, for if I had not written it, I would have probably forgotten at least half of what I had seen, heard and read. I trust that it will be of equal benefit to my readers, whether they are horsemen of ordinary education or veterinary surgeons. The fact that I have spent a large portion of my life in many foreign countries, ought to make this book of special use to English horse-owners who live abroad. I have employed type of different sizes, with the object of maintaining the character of this book as a means of ready reference for non-professional readers, without having to exclude information which they might consider to be too abstruse for their requirements; but which might prove useful to horse-owners possessing more scientific knowledge.
