Book synopsis

Excerpt from Old Jim Avery's Own Farrier and Recipe Book: Being a Cheaper, Safer, and Super Method of Farriery Than Any Ever Before Offered to the World; Also Disclosing the Whole Secret and Great Mystery, Both Ancient and Modern, of Training and Educating the Horse, Together With Hints on Breeding and Surgery Good news for the horse; joy and long life to him. Time at length has produced the discovery of an infallible remedy for the cure of Farcy and Glanders. The anatomy of the horse is so little understood by a majority of those who have to care for and do with him, that the phrases used by most writers to designate the different parts thereof, or even a gland or muscle, are as foreign to their purpose as it would be to call them Anno Domini; for they scarcely know whether they are reading about the horse or an Egyptian mummy. And in fact nothing short of a collegiate education, or a full course of lectures on the subject, will enable a person to comprehend the use of medicines by their names, any more than they can see the muscles by looking on a portrait painting of a Raphael or feel the warm breath of a sculptured marble of a Powers, or of a Michael Angelo. In this little book I have endeavored to call things by their right names, and carefully avoided the use of all technical terms without giving their meaning. And I have so arranged the work and its index, that one has only to turn to any particular disease he may wish to look at to find the symptoms plainly laid down and the means of cure given, without reading the whole book to find what he wants to know.
