About the author
Active in the early 1900s, Adolph Eichhorn (1875–1956) wrote and contributed to a range of veterinary works, including books on meat hygiene, milk hygiene, veterinary therapeutics, and contagious abortion in cattle. Records from library and public-domain catalogs consistently identify him as a veterinary author whose publications were widely circulated.
His work was closely connected with the United States Bureau of Animal Industry, where contemporary government publications credit him as a bacteriologist and later as director of an animal disease station. That background helps explain the practical tone of his writing: it was aimed at the real problems farmers, veterinarians, and inspectors faced in controlling disease in animals.
Today, he is mainly remembered through those technical books and bulletins, which capture a period when veterinary medicine was becoming more scientific and more standardized. For listeners interested in the history of animal health, his work offers a direct window into that changing world.
