vi PREFACE. 
his valuable work on obstetrics) for the purpose of 
illustrating the text. 
The printer and publisher, William R. Jenkins, 
New York City, deserves my thanks, not only for the 
style and neatness with which he has executed his 
work, but for the promptness with which he has 
facilitated the reading of the proof, etc. 
Should this little work seem to fill a gap, and find 
a modest but useful place in our veterinary literature, 
I will feel fully repaid for any time or troubie 
expended.
