PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION. 



In the third edition of "The Management and Diseases of 

 the Dog," which extends to fifty pages beyond its predecessor, 

 the Author has introduced upwards of thirty new subjects of 

 importance, and, he ventures to hope, interest to canine 

 veterinary surgeons and the dog-loving public. 



Several of the original sections have also been enlarged 

 upon, and additional prescriptions have been given in accor- 

 dance with their value, as tested in the Author's practice, 

 whose desire it is, having canine welfare at heart, that his work 

 may still continue to merit support and deserve the generous 

 reviews bestowed on its first production. 



In the second edition the present appendix on " Poisons 

 and their Antidotes" was merely added, the Author's health 

 and duties at that date precluding any ' alteration or increase 

 to the general text.
