Text Book Of Veterinary Medicine Vol 2 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from A d104-Book Principles the Practice: Veterinary Medicine The need of an up-to-date, scientific text designed for student use has been long felt by teachers of the internal diseases of animals. The author has personally experienced this need as a teacher of veterinary students for over twenty years. The few books available on the subject are either obsolete or so filled with errors that they mislead rather than instruct. Some of the best of them are translations from the German and French. In too many instances the translators have been neither veterinarians nor teachers of veterinary medicine, and too few of them linguists. Furthermore, the books in this field have not been designed for undergraduate students; they are bulky, comprehensive works of reference of little pedagogic value; all of them have been superseded by newer editions in the original tongue. Although this volume is designed primarily for the student, it will be found valuable to the practitioner, investigator or intelligent stockman who may have need of knowledge of the fundamental principles of the practice of veterinary medicine presented in concise, clear-cut and at the same time not too dogmatic form. While the author has many to thank for assistance in preparing this volume, among his fellow teachers, investigators and practitioners, he is especially indebted to Professor D. H. Udall, of the New York State Veterinary College, Cornell University, who kindly read the manuscript and offered many valuable suggestions from his rich experience, practically all of which have been incorporated in the book. Messrs. Lea & Febiger are also thanked for their patience, courtesy and efficient service in making the edition mechanically good.
