Every Man His Own Cattle Doctor; Or, A Practical Treatise On The Diseases Of Horned Cattle by Francis Clater is a comprehensive early 19th-century veterinary manual. The 1832 edition, revised by an eminent practitioner of horse and cattle medicine, blends foundational anatomy and physiology with hands-on guidance for diagnosing and treating diseases in oxen, sheep, swine, poultry, and rabbits. The work opens with an Introduction that explores the anatomy, digestion (notably the ruminant four-stomach system), circulation, respiration, and the brain, laying a scientific groundwork for practical care. It then proceeds through extensive disease sections for each livestock category, detailing symptoms, etiologies, and remedies—emphasizing bleeding, purging, setoning, and tonics, alongside cautions against harmful treatments. The volume provides numerous recipes and a standardized “List of Drugs,” enabling farmers and country veterinarians to administer medicines safely by drinking or dosing. Across species, prevention (shelter, management, and feeding) is championed as the best cure. The text is a window into early veterinary practice and husbandry.
