. The dog in health and in disease [microform] : including his origin, history, varieties, breeding, education and general management in health, and his treatment in disease. Dogs; Dogs; Chiens; Chiens. PREFACE. public as regards dogs, ho must hIiow not only that he has some grasp of medicine as medicine, but a special knowl- edge of the nature, varieties, and ijcculiarities of dogs. The dog must be understood in health l)efore his ailments can Ih) well appreciated and treated, and the more intelli- gent body of breeders and owners of dogs thoroughly real- ize this. The consciousness that there was no book treating of the dog in disease that recognized adecjuately the princi- ples just set forth; a strong desire to better the condition of this noble animal, that for the greater part of the writer's life he has studied with pleasure and profit to his own nature; and an intimate knowledge of the condition and needs of the veterinary profession, explains the origin of this book, so far as the latter is concerned. The wjiter's experience as a teacher of canine medicine—or rather of the nature of the dog in both health and disease, for which the term cynology is an appropriate one—has convinced him that the study of the dog in disease should for veter- inary students, as others, be preceded by his study in health, with as much thoroughness as circumstances will permit; hence the large amount of space given to the sub- ject of the first part of this work. But the book is by no means intended for students and practitioners of veterinary science alone. It is meant for all intelligent persons who breed, keep, or in any way take a special interest in the dog. Tlieir number is very large, and is constantly increasing. Wliile, there- fore, the whole work has a scientific foundation, it has been kept as free from technicalities as possible, and will, it is hoped, be readily comprehensible by every intelli- gent person.
