This antiquarian book comprises an extensive catalogue of diseases common to swine, with special reference to the preventative measures of disease. Although old, most of the information contained herein is timeless, and will be of as much value to modern readers as it was to those contemporary with its original publication. This is a text that will appeal to serious equestrians and equine veterinarians, and one that makes for a worthy addition to collections of equine literature. The chapters of this book include: 'Diagnosis of Diseases', 'Administration of Medicine', 'General Diseases', 'Digestive Organs', 'Liver', 'Urinary Organs', 'Spleen', 'Respiratory Tract', 'Heart', 'Nervous System', 'Generative Organs', 'Skin', 'Locomotory Organs', 'Surgical Diseases', 'Infectious Diseases', etcetera. We are proud to republish this vintage text, now complete with a new and specially commissioned introduction on the care and maintenance of horses.
