PUBLISHERS 851 AND 853 SIXTH AVENUE 1907 Copyright, 1898, 1907, by WILLIAM R. JENKINS COs. All Pights Reserved >RINTED BY THE ‘Press OF WILLIAM R. JENKINS Co.. New York TO ALEXANDER LIAUTARD, M.D., V.S., AS A TOKEN OF PERSONAL ESTEEM, AS WELL AS FOR HIS UNTIRING EFFORTS TO ADVANCE THE INTERESTS OF OUR NOBLE PROFESSION IN AMERICA, IS THIS LITTLE VOLUME Respectfully Medicated BY THE AUTHOR. . PREFACE. In offering this little volume to the Veterinary Profession of America, it is not my desire to encourage the student in the neglect of the more voluminous works on Veterinary Obstetrics, but more with the idea of aiding him, when time is an object, in reviewing his studies on the subject. It is with the hope, also, that it may be of service to the busy obstetrician, in refreshing his memory when quick reference is required, or when larger works may be inaccessible. In the preparation of this compendium, the follow- ing literature has been consulted, and, in several of the sections, somewhat freely quoted: ‘ Fleming’s Obstetrics,” ‘‘Chauveau’s Comparative Anatomy” (Fleming), “Vade Mecum of Equine Anatomy” (Liautard), Friedberger & Frohner’s “Pathology and Therapeutics of the Domestic Animals,” ‘“ Moller’s Surgery,” “Journal of Comparative Pathology and Therapeutics” (McFadyean), articles in published reports of the U. S. Department of Agriculture (Law); and I am much indebted to my friend Mr. John Renfrew, M.R.C.V.S., of Glasgow, Scotland, for numerous and copious notes. JI am under many obligations to Dr. George Fleming, C.B., of Higher Leigh, Combe Martin, North Devon, England, for his kindness in granting permission to use the cuts (from 5 4 vi PREFACE. his valuable work on obstetrics) for the purpose of illustrating the text. The printer and publisher, William R. Jenkins, New York City, deserves my thanks, not only for the style and neatness with which he has executed his work, but for the promptness with which he Bas facilitated the reading of the proof, etc. Should this little work seem to fill a gap, and find a modest but useful place in our veterinary literature, I will feel fully repaid for any time or troubie expended.
