Veterinary Medicines, Their Actions, Uses and Dose
by George Franklyn Korinek
About the author
George Franklyn Korinek was an American author born in 1883. Reliable library and catalog records connect him with Veterinary Medicines, Their Actions, Uses and Dose, published in Portland, Oregon, in 1916 by the Veterinary Science Association of America.
That book is the main reason his name remains in circulation today. It was designed as a practical reference on veterinary drugs and treatment, bringing together information on medicinal actions, uses, and dosing for readers interested in animal health.
Little biographical detail is readily confirmed from the sources reviewed here beyond his birth year and authorship of this work. Even so, his book stands as a useful historical record of veterinary instruction and everyday medical practice for animals in the early twentieth century.
