Excerpt from The Illustrated Horse Doctor: Being an Accurate and Detailed Account of the Various Diseases to Which the Equine Race Are Subjected; Together With the Latest Mode of Treatment, and All the Requisite Prescriptions; Written in Plain English; Accompanied by More Than Four Hundred Pictori A very slight expenditure of the last-named quality would save the equine race from a long list of ills which now are consequent upon mortal ignorance or upon human brutality. It is painful to reflect how many of those affections spoken of as equine disorders might be cheaply eradicated by the more reasonable treatment of the animal which man proverbially esteems to be his most hazardous property.
