Excerpt from The Horse: How to Feed Him, Avoid Disease, and Save Money
In the preservation of our domestic animals, the capabilities and resources of Veterinary Science are too frequently ignored.
The question of feeding and housing is almost exclusively considered apart from the relationship which it bears to science. These have paved the way for absolute carelessness and quackery, and almost obliterated the aspect in which the practitioner of veterinary medicine should be regarded.
It is the province of the Veterinary Surgeon to study, not only the principles by which disease runs its course, its indications and cure; but also, and especially, those means by which it is primarily induced and prevented.
The means by which disease is prevented have not hitherto been generally understood, nor have they been properly taught or studied in connection with the lower animals, hence the results in many individual cases have been manifest in utter ruin.
