of medicine. The general considerations of pathology, whether in reference to diseases of the human or diseases of domestic animals, are practically identical. Many textbooks on this subject are available, but they are especially written for the practitioner and student of human medicine, and the illustrations and examples are all in reference to diseases of the human. Such textbooks have been used by the author for several years in veterinary classes and it was thought that if the same general pathological principles could be exemplified by cases and illustrations in veterinary medicine, the subject matter would be more readily understood by the veterinary student. This explains the issuance of the present volume.The writer has endeavored to place every phase of pathology from the veterinarians point of view The entire subject matter has been expressed as far as possible in common every day language, with the hope that all readers will have no trouble in grasping the pathologic facts. An extensive glossary has been appended and will be of considerable aid because practically every technical term, with its analysis and definition, will be found therein.The author is greatly indebted to Dr.S. Stewart, Dean of the Kansas City Veterinary College; Dr. D. M. Campbell, editor of The American Journal of Veterinary Medicine; Prof. W. E. King.
