Excerpt from The Diseases of Animals: A Book of Brief and Popular Advice on the Care and the Common Ailments, of Farm Animals
The proper care of animals is more than supplying their physical needs and comforts. Animals are subject to ills and accidents. It is the part of every farmer to know how to care for the simpler difficulties, and when to call for advice from the veterinarian. The animal industry is rapidly increasing in extent and importance. The day of the skilled veterinarian is coming; but his profession must rest on a quickened public knowledge of the diseases and accidents to which animals are subject. The greater the knowledge of these subjects on the part of the man who raises animals, the keener is his interest in these and all related matters, and the more frequent will be his demands on the veterinarian. The day of the "horse-doctor book" is passing. Prevention, sanitation, careful handling are more important than mere medication. We are coming to a rational treatment of disease in animals, as we are of disease in man. Now that the farmer is giving so much attention to feeding and breeding, he should also give additional thought to the extra difficulties and ailments that overtake his flocks.
