great credit on its author, and, owing to its practical details, the
result of deep scientific research, deserves a place in the library of
medical, veterinary, and non-professional readers.”—_Field._

the different stages of it, while the alphabetical summary at the end
gives the cause, symptoms and treatment of each.”—_Illustrated London
