10 MANUAL OF EQUINE MEDICINE. 



- NOSOLOGY. 



By nosology (voaoc, disease, and Xoyoc, law) we understand 

 the definition, the naming, and the classification of the 

 diseases. 



It is at present impossible to frame a perfectly natural 

 classification of the diseases of man and animals, as our 

 knowledge is inadequate for the purpose ; but with the 

 advance of medical science our system of classification will 

 doubtless become gradually more and more perfect.
