Ebook Veterinary Medicine Series No; 2

This book is written to fill a demand from veterinary students, students in poultry husbandry courses at agricultural colleges, veterinary practitioners and others interested in the scientific treatment of poultry diseases.

An effort has been made to make the language so plain that all can comprehend the subject matter, which is a summary of results of experimental research in the laboratory of pathology of the author and of many other investigators.

For the purpose of simplification, the synonyms are given for the various names of diseases. Then follow, in order, the cause, or causes, the symptoms, the conditions found upon post-mortem examination, and lastly the treatment and means of eradication for each disease.

The author is indebted to Dr. D. M. Campbell, editor of the American Journal of Veterinary Medicine, for helpful suggestions as to arrangement and other matters.

The first edition being exhausted in so short a time is evidence that it met the expectations of the author and the publisher - that it filled a real need. This second edition has been thoroughly revised and brought down to date. Much new information in the chapters on anatomy of the fowl, foods poisonous to fowls and poultry materia medica has been added.
