Cattle 1853 - Lewis Family Farm

PREFACE.
knowledge on the subject. In doing this, many works on the
subject, published since Mr. Youatt's, have been examined. The
chief of these is, The Ox, by Mr. W. C. L. Martin, one of the
officers of the London Zoological Society.
The editor has consulted three recent German treatises on the
diseases of cattle. The most valuable of these is by Gunther, who
has applied homoeopathy to animals. In addition to the ordinary
modes of practice, the editor has given the treatment of Gunther.
It is within his knowledge, that the prescriptions of homoeopathy
have been eminently successful in the diseases of both horses and
cattle. This method of managing their diseases will be valuable to
those who adopt the school of Hahnemann, while it detracts nothing
from the work as a manual of ordinary veterinary practice.
Thousands of copies of Youatt and Martin are annually sold in
England, and, there, opinion has established them as standards in their
branch of knowledge. This American edition commends itself by
its small price, and its intrinsic value, and should sell in thousands.
Great credit is* due to the American publisher, for giving to the
public this edition, beautiful alike for its embellishment and its
typography.
