. Dr. David Roberts practical home veterinarian ... Veterinary medicine. INTRODUCTORY. HE only way by which the farmer, dairyman, poukryman, stock or cattle owner can real.^e the most from his investment and his labor is by continually guarding health and welfare of his live stock as a precautionary measure, and to employ the most advanced pre- scriptions and discoveries in eradicating disease as soon as it appears. It is the object and purpose of this book to present in clear, concise and simple language, facts with which every farmer and cattle owner should be acquainted. It gives you a brief history of the most import- ant farm animals; also interesting statistics. It tells you how to care for and manage your live stock. How to keep them in good condition so as to always produce the best results. How to prevent disease. How to know disease when it does appear, and lastly, how to treat and overcome dis- ease. The precautionary measures, to start with, are absolute cleanliness, with con- ditions and surroundings as sanitary as possible. Then it is necessary at all times to have on hand a sufficient supply of good disinfectants, to destroy parasites and germ life of all kinds, which multiply so rapidly and exist everywhere, especially where cleanliness is neglected. In this book we make mention of the different diseases to which live stock is subject, and we treat at some length on these for which we have a positive, tried and tested prescription. We make note of other diseases for which we do not claim to have a prepared prescription, and these subjects will be a matter of correspondence direct with Dr. David Roberts, who will give each and every inquiry his careful and personal attention. In regard to the prescriptions which are offered in this book, we wish to say that they are the result of thousands of experiments and the experience of over twenty years of active veterinary practice in the richest dairy cattle section of the United States.
