FROM THE PREFACE 



"Diseases of tlie t)og and Aids to Treatment and Manage- 

 ment " is primarily intended to serve as a First Aid for those who 

 have the charge of dogs either in health or in sickness. It is not 

 always convenient to obtain professional assistance, but when such 

 aid is within reach it should always be obtained as speedily as pos- 

 sible, as unskilful treatment, no matter however well directed, fre- 

 quently leads to disappointment and much useless suffering to the 

 patient. 



By skilled assistance we mean the employment of a qualified 

 practitioner, and not that of the empiric, whose knowledge is based 

 upon no scientific training and whose treatment may be on entirely 

 wrong lines. 



There are minor ailments and accidents which can be effectively 

 dealt with by the novice, and the Author has endeavored to incor- 

 porate in this work the needful instructions for carrying out the 

 elementary principles of canine medicine and surgery.
