Nor does he sto there; for he treats, in a concise form, of epidemics amongst the animal creatior and proceeds to suggest remedies for our distresses, with which it is desirable al should be made acquainted.”—The Farmer’s Gazette. “ The comparative exemption of the denizens of the ocean from those epidemit maladies to which terrene animals, and, according to Dr. Parkin, vegetables also are subject, is next pointed out, as an additional inducement to render the supplj from that source still further available.”—The Irish Farmer’s Journal. “ The work before us should be distributed as widely as possible, for the benefil of the potato-growers of the country.”—Farmer’s Journal.
