Under this head it is proposed to notice such diseases as are most
common among cattle, together with their symptoms, and to suggest such
treatment of the same as has been found in the practice of the author,
in the main, effective. He is aware that much more space might have been
appropriated to this head, as has been the case in other treatises of
this class; but he doubts the propriety of multiplying words about
diseases which are of very rare occurrence, deeming it more fitting to
leave such instances exclusively to the intelligent consideration of the
reliable veterinary practitioner.
For convenience of reference, the diseases here noticed have been
arranged in alphabetical order; the whole concluding with information as
to two or three operations which cannot be uninteresting to, or
unprofitable for, the reader.
