^ PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION 



am indebted to Mr. D'Arcy Power, M.A., M.B., F.R.C.S., 

 and to Professor MacFadyean, M.B., B.Sc, M.R.C.V.S. To 

 Mr. Reginald Waiid, artist, and to Mr. R. E. Holding, 

 veterinary draughtsman, for sketches too numerous to specify 

 individually, and to Messrs. Hooper and Berry, of Kensington, 

 for much patience in photographing the many and often 

 refractory patients, I owe much thanks. 



To Messrs. D. Crole, T. Angwin, and T. Duncan, all 

 M.R.C.V.S., to Messrs. Arnold and Sons, and to others 

 whose names are mentioned in the text, I am also indebted 

 for many specimens or fresh sketches, without which it 

 would have been impossible to illustrate the work to any- 

 thing like its present extent. 



If the publication of this volume will only advance in the 

 slightest degree the application of modern surgical principles 

 for the benefit of the suffering animal world, the wishes of 

 the author will be more than gratified.
