‭PREFACE.‬

‭No‬ ‭apology‬ ‭seems‬ ‭called‬ ‭for‬ ‭in‬ ‭presenting‬ ‭to‬ ‭English-speaking‬

‭veterinary‬ ‭surgeons‬ ‭and‬ ‭students‬ ‭a‬ ‭treatise‬ ‭on‬ ‭the‬ ‭diseases‬ ‭of‬
‭cattle.‬ ‭To‬ ‭those‬ ‭entrusted‬ ‭with‬ ‭the‬ ‭onerous‬ ‭task‬ ‭of‬ ‭preventing‬ ‭or‬
‭curing‬ ‭disease‬ ‭in‬ ‭cattle,‬ ‭sheep,‬ ‭and‬ ‭swine‬ ‭the‬ ‭scantiness‬ ‭of‬
‭permanent‬ ‭literature‬ ‭dealing‬ ‭with‬ ‭the‬ ‭subject‬ ‭must‬ ‭always‬ ‭have‬
‭proved‬ ‭a‬ ‭matter‬ ‭of‬ ‭some‬ ‭embarrassment,‬ ‭while‬ ‭to‬ ‭teachers‬ ‭and‬
‭students‬‭alike‬‭the‬‭want‬‭of‬‭a‬‭concise‬‭and‬‭modern‬‭textbook‬‭has‬‭long‬
‭been‬ ‭a‬ ‭difficulty‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭first‬ ‭order.‬ ‭It‬ ‭is‬ ‭hoped‬ ‭that‬ ‭the‬ ‭present‬
‭volume may go some way towards remedying this state of affairs.‬
‭As‬‭on‬‭previous‬‭occasions,‬‭the‬‭writer‬‭has‬‭freely‬‭availed‬‭himself‬‭of‬
‭foreign‬ ‭sources‬ ‭of‬ ‭information.‬ ‭Two‬ ‭years‬ ‭ago‬ ‭he‬ ‭purchased‬ ‭the‬
‭literary‬ ‭rights‬ ‭in‬ ‭Professor‬ ‭Moussu’s‬ ‭“Maladies‬ ‭du‬ ‭Bétail,”‬ ‭which‬
‭had‬ ‭even‬ ‭then‬ ‭attained‬ ‭an‬ ‭European‬ ‭reputation,‬ ‭and‬ ‭which‬ ‭forms‬
‭the‬‭backbone‬‭of‬‭the‬‭present‬‭volume.‬‭To‬‭obtain‬‭further‬‭information,‬
‭the‬ ‭more‬ ‭important‬ ‭German‬ ‭treatises‬ ‭have‬ ‭been‬ ‭laid‬ ‭under‬
‭contribution,‬ ‭while‬ ‭all‬ ‭accessible‬ ‭English,‬ ‭American,‬ ‭and‬ ‭Colonial‬
‭literature‬ ‭of‬ ‭recent‬ ‭date‬ ‭has‬ ‭been‬ ‭referred‬ ‭toef‬
