PREFACE 
OF late years, owing to the increased attention paid to 
the study of parasitology in our veterinary schools, 
there has arisen a need in our literature of a textbook, 
which, although dealing more or less fully with the 
more common parasites of the domesticated animals, 
shall yet be concise and of a handy size. It has been 
the aim of the author to fill the gap with a volume 
which, while covering the course laid down for the 
student, shall be at the same time of practical value to 
the veterinarian as a book of reference. With this end 
in view, the symptoms produced by the various para- 
sites have been fully described, together with the latest 
methods of treatment, and, where possible, prescriptions 
have been inserted.
