Preface

Very few remarks in the shape of preface are needed for this small volume. The author explains that its object is to assist farmers and stockowners to maintain their animals in a state of health and usefulness. On the principle that " prevention is better that cure," attention is first directed to the conditions that are necessary to keep stock in good health. The various diseases are then clearly described, and information is given which will enable the owner to deal with the illness, if it be not of such a character as to call for professional treatment, or when advice cannot be readily and speedily obtained. As it is believed that in dangerous cases the best and cheapest course is to at once obtain expert assistance, the aim as regards these has been to afford such hints as will enable the farmer to recognise grave symptoms and to intelligently co-operate with the veterinary surgeon in bringing round the patient that may be suffering from any of the serious ailments to which live stock are subject.
