(name/date on one endpaper.The writer'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 veterinary 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 subject of the first part of this work..........taken from the Preface.
