Dr. David Roberts' Practical Home Veterinarian, authored by David Roberts, D.V.S., was published by Dr. David Roberts' Veterinary Co. in Waukesha, Wisconsin in 1912. This hardcover edition is the Eleventh Edition, revised to 1912, reflecting updates in veterinary practices of the time. Dr. Roberts, a noted cattle specialist, compiles comprehensive information on the care and treatment of various farm animals, including cattle, horses, swine, sheep, and poultry. The book is organized alphabetically by disease, detailing symptoms, causes, and treatments, making it a valuable reference for farmers and veterinarians alike. This edition is particularly scarce, as it represents a historical snapshot of early 20th-century veterinary science. The book is bound in green cloth with gold lettering, showing signs of age but maintaining structural integrity.
