. Gleason's veterinary hand-book and system of horse taming [microform] : in two parts. Veterinary medicine; Horses; Horse-training; Médecine vétérinaire; Chevaux; Chevaux. PREFACE. The human race has very largely emancipated itself from the old school of medical science which prescribed the lancet, calomel and rhubarb for nearly all ailments ; and now we think it is about time to free our friends, the dumb brutes on the farm yard, from the attacks of those veterinary quacks who know little or nothing except blood letting, " firing," drenching, and other barbarous customs long ago proved to be not only useless, but absolutely unnecessary, brutal and harmful. The aim of the editor has been to make a booV free from literary nicety and labored effortâclear, concise and accurate-^ carefully eschewing the injurious sjrstem of bleeding, blistering, firing and physicing, and present- ing the very latest and best approved methods of modern veterinary science in such a plain and direct way that the knowledge here given may be available to every reader. This Hand-Book is oased very largely upon the works of Robert McCiure, , , one of the most celebrated, and perhaps tho most uniformly successful veterinarian this country has ever produced. The methods of treating diseases of domestic animals are based upon the results of actual practice^ not mere theory, as is the case with most veterinary works. The modes of treatment here given may be relied upon absolutely^ having been tried and proved; and the descriptions of symptoms, signs of disease, etc., are unusually full and distinct The treatise on " Diseases of Sheep," deserves special mention, having been generally accepted as the most reliable treatise on this important subject yet given to the public* \ â â¢*>.
