Notes on Diseases of Swine, Sheep, Poultry and the Dog / Cause, Symptoms and Treatments

A practical early-20th-century veterinary manual provides concise descriptions of common ailments affecting swine, sheep and goats, poultry, and dogs, with anatomical diagrams, causes, clinical signs, preventive measures, and treatments. Each chapter lists typical maladies for a species, explains likely causes (parasitic, infectious, environmental, toxic), offers diagnostic observations and recommended remedies, including dosages, tonics, drenches, and surgical or husbandry interventions, and gives practical care and prevention advice. Emphasis is on accessible language for students and practitioners, with recipes for preparations, dosing guidelines by weight, and management practices to reduce losses in farm animals.
