Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Diseases of the Horse and How to Treat Them: A Concise Manual of Special Pathology, for the Use of Horsemen, Farmers, Stock-Raisers, and Students, in Agricultural Colleges in the United States This unpretending little treatise is an attempt to supply an oft-expressed want - namely, a brief, popular, and reliable handbook on that department of veterinary science which treats of the horse and his diseases. Although "of making many books there is no end," yet, strange to say, no work on this subject has appeared within twelve or fifteen years. The books now offered for sale in the book stores are simply republications of foreign books that were written for the past generation; they comprise Youat´s, Mayhew´s, and Percival´s works. It need hardly be proved by any argument of mine that, in accordance with the advancement of medical science in our day a new work (written up to the present time) is absolutely required to instruct the owners of horses in the latest and most approved modes of treatment in all diseases of the horse. Within the past twenty years new diseases, or rather new forms of old diseases, (including the late Epizootic and Spinal Meningitis) have afflicted the equine race in our own country and elsewhere. These diseases were considerably altered in character from the type with which our grandfathers were acquainted. For these reasons it would be exceedingly injudicious to pursue exactly the same treatment recommended in books written for those times. In former days bleeding, blistering, firing, and physicing were indiscriminately pursued without knowing the "why and the wherefore" for so doing.
