THE
AMERICAN REFORMED
CATTLE DOCTOR;
CONTAINING THE NECESSARY INFORMATION FOR PRESERVING THE HEALTH AND CURING THE DISEASES OF
OXEN, COWS, SHEEP, AND SWINE,
WITH A GREAT VARIETY OF ORIGINAL RECIPES, AND VALUABLE INFORMATION IN REFERENCE TO
FARM AND DAIRY MANAGEMENT;
WHEREBY EVERY MAN CAN BE HIS OWN CATTLE DOCTOR.
THE PRINCIPLES TAUGHT IN THIS WORK ARE, THAT ALL MEDICATION SHALL BE SUBSERVIENT TO NATURE; THAT ALL MEDICINAL AGENTS MUST BE SANATIVE IN THEIR OPERATION, AND ADMINISTERED WITH A VIEW OF AIDING THE VITAL POWERS, INSTEAD OF DEPRESSING, AS HERETOFORE, WITH THE LANCET AND POISON.
BY
G. H. DADD, M. D., VETERINARY PRACTITIONER,
AUTHOR OF "ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE HORSE."
BOSTON: PHILLIPS, SAMPSON, AND COMPANY, 110 Washington Street. 1851.
