Authorized Translation 



Translator's Preface. 



IN the translation of Malkmus' "Grundriss der Klinischen 

 Diagnostik" we have endeavored simply to reproduce 

 the author's ideas with the hope that the English and 

 American Veterinary Students may thus be provided with 

 a text-book for which they have long felt a need. The 

 needs of the students in the College of Veterinary Medi- 

 cine of the Ohio State University have been the direct 

 cause of the hurried undertaking of this work. A few short 

 notes which we thought proper to add here and there, 

 throughout the book, have been placed in [ ].

Author's Preface to the Fourth Edition. 



The present fourth edition has undergone in all depart- 

 ments a thorough revision. A few new cuts have been added, 

 some of which graphically demonstrate the respirations by 

 instructive curves. Throughout I have endeavored not only to 

 furnish the student an adequate guide but also to provide the 

 practitioner with a reliable adviser. 



Notwithstanding the numerous additions, by increasing 

 the amount of printed matter on each page, the former handy- 

 size of the book has been retained, Malkmus.
