PREFACE
All that can be known on the subject of lameness, is founded on aknowledge of anatomy and of the physiology of locomotion. Without suchknowledge, no one can master the principles of the diagnosis oflameness. However, it must be assumed that the readers are informed onthese subjects, as it is impossible to include this fundamentalinstruction in a work so brief as this one.
The technic of certain operative or corrective procedures, has beendescribed at length only where such methods are not generally employed.Where there is no departure from the usual methods, treatment that isessentially within the domain of surgery or practice is not given inspecific detail.
Realizing the need for a treatise in the English language dealing withdiagnosis and treatment of lameness, the author undertook thepreparation of this manuscript. That the difficulties of depicting bymeans of word-pictures, the symptoms evinced in baffling cases oflameness, presented themselves in due course of writing, it is needlessto say.
It is hoped that this volume will serve its readers to the end that thehandling of cases of lameness will become a more satisfactory andsuccessful part of their work; that both the practitioner and hisclients may profit thereby; and last but by no means least, that thehorse, which has given such incalculable service to mankind and isdeserving of a more concrete reward, will be benefited by theapplication of the principles herein outlined.
In addition to the consultation of standard works bearing on variousphases of the subject of lameness, the author wishes to thankfullyacknowledge helpful advice and assistance received from the publisher,Dr. D.M. Campbell; to appreciatively credit Drs. L.A. Merillat, A.Trickett and F.F. Brown for valuable suggestions given from time totime. Particular acknowledgment is made to Dr. Septimus Sisson, author,and W.B. Saunders & Co., publishers of The Anatomy of Domestic Animals,for permission to use a number of illustrations from that work.
