General RemarJcs, 83 



Note. — In treating tKe diseases of Horses, we shall at the 

 same time describe those which are common to both Horses, 

 Mules and Cattle ; thus avoiding a useless repetition which 

 would be otherwise necessary when we come to treat of Dis- 

 eases of Cattle. Many complaints are substantially identical, 

 both in symptoms and treatment, in the two species. 



On the following two pages we have placed in contrast 

 the external and the internal anatomy of the horse. A care- 

 ful study of these diagrams will be found of considerable 

 importance in understanding the descriptions of diseases 

 which will be contained in the pages that follow. The 

 popular names applied to the external forms of the horse are 

 of especial interest to every one who owns such an animal, 

 and they sJiould be made familiar by reference to the living 

 subject.
