This 1881 second and enlarged edition of "A Manual of Homeopathic Veterinary Practice" is a fascinating glimpse into 19th-century veterinary care. Written to help farmers, veterinarians, and animal caretakers treat horses, livestock, and poultry using homeopathic remedies, it reflects a time when people were turning to more holistic methods for animal health. It’s packed with practical advice on treating injuries, diagnosing ailments, and keeping animals healthy overall.
The book was published by Boericke & Tafel, a major name in homeopathic publishing back then. They were really leading the charge in making homeopathy more accessible, and this manual was a part of that movement. What makes this edition stand out is that it’s the “enlarged” version, meaning it was updated to include even more knowledge than the original.
The binding is beautiful, with a sturdy half-leather design and gold-stamped illustrations of a horse and cow on the spine. Details like the red-stained page edges give it that extra touch of care and thoughtfulness. Inside, you’ll find detailed illustrations, like diagrams of animal teeth that show how they change with age—practical information for diagnosing health issues back in the day.
This book is more than just a manual; it’s a piece of history that offers a window into how people cared for their animals over 140 years ago. From its practical tips to its gorgeous design, it’s a special find for anyone interested in veterinary history, homeopathy, or 19th-century farming life.
