There is no scarcity of excellent works on Veterinary materia medica and Therapeutics. Many of these will well repay the student for the time spent in mastering them, but none seem to meet the wants of the Veterinary Practitioner and Student for whom this work is primarily intended. It has been my endeavor to find, and bring together in available form, some of the facts regarded as of value to those upon whom the stockman must depend, to a great extent, for important services when sickness comes upon our dumb friends—the domestic animals. A few publications have been consulted, and in some instances quoted. It has not been practicable to give proper 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 (by Quitman). George F. Korinek, V. S., B. V. S. |
