    PREFACE. In writing tliese pages the author has endeavored to give a short, accurate, and clear definition of the modern knowledge of diseases of the dog, and to adapt his treatise to the requirements of the profession. Speculations and hypotheses have been studiously avoided, while, on the other hand, plain facts have received careful consideration. Diagnosis has been given the most prominent place, as it deserves in a work of tliis kind, and the author has endeavored to establish the Symptoms with their relation to the disease and to confine their therapeutic treatment to a knowledge of normal and pathological anatomy and physiology, for he believes that it is on a clear and accurate knowledge of the normal and pathological structure of life the fundamental base of all cliuical Science lies. The writer has also included some selected formulce which he considers of practical value to the reader. Due consideration has been given to modern literature whenever it appeared consistent, and a glance at the contents will also show that the author has added the results of his own researches and observations. These have been derived from his experience as director of the clinic of small animals in tliis locality. His space has been somewhat restricted, and he has had to dis- pense with the details of the bibliography of our literature, but this is not of rauch consequence when we have such works as Friedberger and Fröhner’s, Hoffmann’s, Vogel’s, and others at our disposal.
