Excerpt from The American Cattle Doctor: A Complete Work on All the Diseases of Cattle, Sheep and Swine

During the past few years, American husbandmen have been, without regard to cost, extensively engaged in importing some of the finest specimens Of neat stock that man ever beheld; and in consequence of these laudable enterprises, a very marked improvement in this description Of live stock is continually occurring. Having great interests at stake in the. Ownership of more costly and valuable animals than have hitherto been found in this country, and great losses continu ally Occurring in consequence of premature deaths, brought on by unnecessary diseases; the common in quiry among farmers and dairymen is, How shall we protect our property against the ravages of disease? But a more important question, in my opinion, might be asked; viz., How shall diseases be prevented? If this country could only boast of a class of men highly edu cated in all that pertains to the veterinary art, and, pro vided such persons practised a rational system of medi cation, and had the necessary faith in the powers of nature to cure disease; then, these questions might easily be solved.
