PREFACE 



T N offering this little work to the profession the 

 ■•- author wishes to point out that it is published 

 mainly for the use of senior students and practi- 

 tioners. It presumes a knowledge of pathology, 

 histology and anatomy, and aims to deal only with 

 the clinical aspect of the various diseases. It does 

 not presume to be an encyclopedia, but deals merely 

 with the conditions ^commonly found in everyday 

 practice. If it succeeds in arousing more interest 

 in and deeper study of canine practice, the *&;uthor 

 feels that his labor will not have been in vain.
