To
J. MacQueen, F.R.C.V.S.,
PROFESSOR OF SURGERY AT THE ROYAL VETERINARY COLLEGE, LONDON,
AS A SLIGHT ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF HIS ABILITY AS A TEACHER,
AND IN RETURN FOR MANY KINDLY SERVICES,
THIS VOLUME IS GRATEFULLY INSCRIBED BY
THE AUTHOR.
PREFACE
Stimulated by the reception accorded my 'Common Colics of the Horse,' both in this country and in America,
and assured by my publishers that a work on diseases of the foot was needed, I have been led to give to the
veterinary profession the present volume.
While keeping the size of the book within reasonable limits, no effort has been spared to render it as complete
as possible. This has only been achieved by adding to my own experience a great deal of the work of others.
To mention individually those who have given me permission to use their writings would be too long a matter
here. In every case, however, where the quotation is of any length, the source of my information is given,
either in the text or in an accompanying footnote. A few there are who will, perhaps, find themselves quoted
without my having first obtained their permission to do so. They, with the others, will, I am sure, accept my
hearty thanks.
The publishers have been generous in the matter of illustrations and diagrams, and although to the older
practitioner some of these may appear superfluous, it is hoped they will serve to render the work an acceptable
textbook for the student.
