Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Indexed System of Veterinary Treatment: A Work on Modern Medical, Surgical, and Biological Therapy The prescriptions throughout the text, and the observations made upon the lines of treatment advocated, have been put to the acid test of exacting general practice after much thought and prolonged experience. Every endeavour has been made to steer clear of debatable matter where possible, preference being given rather to facts based upon reasoned conclusions. One must recognize, however, in all fairness that in practical therapeutics the speculative element is ever present, and the avenues to success are as numerous as they are diverse; hence it is no two practitioners follow the same route, and yet each may be equally success ful. This being so, the scope is, indeed, great for readers to express their views on treatment, both general and specific, and these, needless to add, I shall be most grateful to receive. In the production of this work I have drawn freely from the school of practical experience, but I would be sinning the sin of ingratitude if I failed to readily acknowledge my great indebtedness to, and information derived from, contributors to the professional journals, and to all authors whose standard works have been my daily friends, companions, and guides during the whole of my professional career. In the case of those diseases of whose treatment I have no knowledge, reference to the authors from whom the information has been derived has been acknowledged in the text. To my collaborators I desire to express my most grateful thanks for their willing and specialized assistance. To Mr. H. E. Cross, a.sc., who by his intimate knowledge is well qualified to write upon diseases of the camel. To Professor Frederick Hobday, for his articles on cryptorchidism, ovariotomy, and roaring - three subjects which he has specially made his own. To Mr. W. W. Lang, for his note on the stomach pump, a method of treatment he has succeeded in pioneering in this country. To Mr. A. W. Noel Pillers, for his treatment of parasitic diseases, a subject upon which no one is better qualified to write. To Lieut. - Colone1 H. Watkins Pitchford, whose long residence in South Africa, and the great experience obtained as the scientific pioneer in checking and stamping out the specific scourges peculiar to that country - where his name is a household one - makes his work on African diseases of the greatest possible standard value. To lieut.-colonel G. K. Walker, for his diseases special to India, where his great practical experience places his authority unquestionably in the front rank.
