Authorized Translation 



Translator's Preface, 



IN the translation of ]\Ialkmus"'Grundriss der Klinischen 

 Diagnostik" we have endeavored simply to reproduce 

 the author's ideas with the hope that the English and 

 American Veterinary Students may thus be provided with 

 a text-book for which they have long felt a need. The 

 needs of the students in the College of Veterinary Medi- 

 cine of the Ohio State University have been the direct 

 cause of the hurried undertaking of this work. A few short 

 notes which we thought proper to add here and there, 

 throughout the book, have been placed in [ ].

Preface to the Third Edition. 



THE favorable reception which this work has met is 

 emphasized by the fact that it has been translated into 

 iDOth the English and French languages. I am convinced 

 that the concise manner in which I have presented the 

 subject of clinical diagnostics has received friendly recog- 

 nition from practitioners. In re-writing the third edition 

 I have endeavored to include everything which would con- 

 tribute toward making it more complete and better. To 

 this end all recent clinical observations and new methods 

 of examination have been employed. The number of illustra- 

 tions has been increased; and a table in color of the quanti- 

 tative determination of indican has been added.
