The Clinical Diagnosis of Lameniss in the Hokse By W E. A Wyman, V. S., 
Professor of Veterinary Science at Clemson A. and M. College, and Veterinarian to 
.South Carolina Experiment Station. New York: W. R. Jenkins, Publisher, S51 — 
853 Sixth Avenue 
In discussing the science'of veterinary medicine and surgery 
with a learned brother practitioner recently, the subject of lame¬ 
ness was introduced, and onr friend, a man of large practical ex¬ 
perience and profound observation, remarked that no man could 
study long enough nor hard enough, nor reason thorough 
enough, nor investigate far enough, to exhaust the interest or 
unravel the mysteries of the peculiar manifestations of lameness 
in horses. . . 
In the daily life of the average practicing veterinarian, 
especially in cities, defects in locomotion form the largest 
part of his duties, and according to his skill as a diagnostician 
and his ability as a therapeutist, his reputation is made or un¬ 
done. There can be little doubt, therefore, that a practical con¬ 
tribution to the scanty literature upon the specialty will be wel¬ 
comed by those to whom it appeals. Professor Wyman has pur¬ 
sued every available source to bring facts and deductions to its 
consideration, and in a neat volume of 170 pages divides his 
subject into twenty-five chapters, as follows : Chapter i, detec¬ 
tion of the lame leg; 2, detection of the seat of lameness ; 3. 
lameness in the fore leg ; 4, lameness in the region of the shoul¬ 
der ; 5, lameness in the region of the elbow and fore arm ; 6, 
lameness in the region of the knee ; 7, lameness in the region of 
the metacarpus ; 8, lameness in the phalangeal region ; 9, lame¬ 
ness in the hindleg; 10, lameness in the gluteal region; ii, 
lameness in the region of the hip joint; 12, thrombosis of the 
posterior aorta and its branches ; 13, peripheral nerve paralysis ; 
14, lameness in the region of the femero-tibial articulation ; 15, 
lameness in the region of the tibia ; 16, of the lock ; 17, of the 
metatarsus; 18, following- fracture of the vertebrae ; 19, result¬ 
ing from fractures of the pelvis; 20, hoof lameness; 21, diag¬ 
nosis of hoof lameness ; 2 2, lameness following acute superficial 
and parenchymatous inflammation of the podophyllons mem¬ 
brane ; 23, following individual hoof disease ; 24, resulting from 
different causes not described in the foregoing chapters ; 25, 
diseases of the head of suspensory ligament. 
The work is illustrated by 32 woodcuts, and may be obtained 
of the publisher for $2.50.
