PREFACE
There is no scarcity of excellent works on Veterinarymateria medica and Therapeutics.
Many of these will well repay the student for thetime spent in mastering them, but none seem to meet thewants of the Veterinary Practitioner and Student forwhom this work is primarily intended.
It has been my endeavor to find, and bring togetherin available form, some of the facts regarded as of valueto those upon whom the stockman must depend, to agreat extent, for important services when sickness comesupon our dumb friends—the domestic animals.
A few publications have been consulted, and in someinstances quoted. It has not been practicable to giveproper credit for use of ideas and language in each instance,but a general acknowledgment is here made.
List of publications consulted and in some instances quoted:
United States Dispensatory (by Wood).
Veterinary Medicines (by Dun).
Veterinary Materia Medica and Therapeutics (by Winslow).
Veterinary Materia Medica, Therapeutics and Toxicology (byQuitman).
