THE 



DISEASE IN THE CANINE SPECIES, 



CALLED 



THE DISTEMPER, 



There can be no doubt but the inferio- 

 rity of this fubjeft, to the magnitude of the 

 former, will prove matter of obfervation to 

 thofe whofe principal inquiries are dired:ed 

 more to the difcovery of defefts, than the 

 applaufe of perfedions. Thcf^Jew will> how- 

 ever, bear no proportion to the large body of 

 liberal minded /por(fmen to whom it is princi- 

 pally addrefled, and for whofe ufe it is almoft 

 folely communicated. Nor would it even now 

 have been obtruded, upon public opinion, but 

 at the particular requeft of gentlemen who, 

 having profited by the inftrudlions, were 

 anxious for the promotion of general utility.
