Excerpt from The Complete Farrier and British Sportsman: Containing a Systematic Enquiry Into the Structure and Animal Economy of the Horse, the Causes, Symptoms, and Most Approved Methods of Prevention and Cure for All the Various Disease to Which He Is LiableIn regard to the prescriptions which the author has recommended, his principal care has been to simplify them as much as possi ble, so as to avoid the consequences which must frequently take place when a numerous mixture of drugs is prescribed, namely, the counteraction of the properties of each other.Nor has he been less attentive to the quan tity, so as to prevent those fatal effects which often ensue from too large doses.In his endeavours to accomplish the fore going objects, the author has occasionally referred to such writers as have thrown any light on the subject; and he should regret losing the present opportunity _of paying a just tribute to the sterling merit of some of his cotemporaries, especially to Mr. Bracy Clarke, whose labours have been constantly and so successfully directed to the promotion and improvement of the veterinary art.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
