Excerpt from The Farmer's Veterinary Advisor: A Guide to the Prevention and Treatment of Disease in Domestic Animals This work is especially designed to supply the need of the busy American farmer who can rarely avail of the advice of a scientific veterinarian. The Author is deeply sensible of the low estimate placed upon Veterinary Medicine and Surgery in the United States, and of the necessity of educating the public up to a better appreciation of its value. We have a property in live stock estimated at $1, 500, 000, 000, and rapidly increasing in value, consisting of at least six different genera of mammals, besides birds, and therefore affording an almost unlimited field for the practical exercise of humanity, political economy and scientific research in the pursuit of Veterinary Medicine. In the Old World millions are saved yearly to each of the Western European Nations in the exclusion and extinction of animal plagues, and many instances can be adduced of an intelligent veterinary supervision saving at the rate of $30, 000 per annum on a stud of 400 horses. But in the Western Hemisphere, apart from the larger cities, the great pecuniary interest in live stock is largely at the mercy of ignorant pretenders whose barbarous surgery is only equaled by their reckless and destructive drugging. The constantly recurring instances of absolute and painful poisoning, and cruel and injurious vivisections practiced under the name of remedial measures are almost sickening to contemplate.
