1899 2nd edition. 8vo (140 x 222mm). Pp184,ads. Engraved plates and illustrations. Maroon cloth, upper board titled in gilt, spine titled in black.
Fascinating engravings, advertisements and recipes in this extended advertisement for Elliman's Embrocation. Numerous ailments of horses, dogs, birds and cattle are described in detail, with sound-looking advice as to the origins and potential cure for each. The latter part of most, but by no means all, entries contains a plug for Elliman's Embrocation. Probably a genuinely useful book in its day, since vets couldn't do anything much that a farmer couldn't before the advent of penicillin.
