PREFACE TO THIRD EDITION. 



Owing to the rapid exhaustion of the second edition, a 

 third edition of this book has been published. 



While the style of arrangement has not been changed and 

 additions are but few, still the book has been thoroughly 

 revised and brought up to date. 



The liberal patronage of the profession is herewith grate- 

 fully acknowledged. A. E. 



PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION. 



The frequently expressed desire of \'eterinary Students and 

 Practitioners for a small and concise work on Veterinary Theory 

 and Practice has prompted me to publish this little book of Stu- 

 dent's notes. 



The similar edition issued several years ago was much appre- 

 ciated by both students and practitioners to whom also I believe 

 this new issue will be as welcome. 



This being merely a book of student's notes the language used 

 is somewhat free and non-technical, a fact that will, I hope, be 

 excused by the critical reader. A. E.
