Excerpt from Horses Their Feed and Their Feet, a Manual of Horse Hygiene
Through many years' acquaintance with the disorders of man and beast, I have learned the principal cause of abnormal conditions. To remove a cause is to provide the sovereign remedy. The "medicine" is no less worthy of confidence because costing absolutely nothing and always at hand.
Instructions which are' specially designed for the benefit of novices, will, of course, be recognized and, doubtless, approved of by the veterans who may chance to examine the work. Where the suggestions are evidently intended for the veterans themselves, being in direct opposition to prevailing practices, I trust that some will deem them at least worthy of consideration and trial.
One object of this work is to recommend a reformed system of feeding, calculated to conserve vital force at points where it is often expended in the most destructive manner, viz.: the digestive and excretory systems. If the digestive organs become diseased, the excretories are certain to be overtaxed, since it is their office to eliminate the foul products of indigestion, as well as the normal waste of the organism.
