William Henry Kelly papers, ca.1880-1910.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/63934276

Two letter impression books contain Kelley's reports to Charles A. Wieting, New York State Commissioner of Agriculture, describing his examination of diseased animals. There are also letters to veterinarians and state legislators concerning the testing and condemnation of tubercular cattle, state licensing of veterinarians, certification of professional schools, the New York State Veterinary College, and cases of illegal practice and malpractice. There are also bills for professional services and other personal business letters. At some time near the turn of the twentieth century Kelly purchased a book of horse remedies compiled by Ransford H. Garlock of Beul, New York, ca. 1880-1910. The hand-written book includes recipies for a number of ailments, such as heaves, scratches, thrush, and spavins. The treatments are attributed to a number of sources, most likely local farmers, although some appear to have come from newspapers and books, such as "Professor Cushman's Catalogue of Farriers' Prescriptions."
