PREFACE TO REVISED EDITION, 1906.
This manual, as originally compiled l)y Alexander Plummer, D. V. S., veterinarian Fourth Cavalry, and Richard H. 
Power, V. S., veterinarian Artillery Corps, was published in 1903. In this edition the work has been revised by the 
compilers, assisted by Charles 11. Jewell, D. V. M., veterinarian, Thirteenth Cavalry, and Capt. Geo. H. Cameron, 
Fourth Cavalry, secretary.

Matter from the companion text-book, '"The Army Horseshoer," has been substituted in several places for that of 
the original.

An original chapter on Tropical Diseases, by Veterinarian Jewell, and many illustrations from photographs and 
drawings, have been added.

Captain Cameron, in addition to his work on the revision of the text, made the original drawings and prepared the 
others for reproduction. His valuable assistance is here acknowledged.

The greater part oi the photographic work was done by First Lieut. S. B. Pearson, Ninth Cavalry.

The arrangement of the text has been adapted to the course of practical instruction, and the language, as far as 
possible, to study by men who, as a rule, have had limited educational advantages.
