Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fistula of the Withers and Poll-Evil
There are several reasons why a manual on this disease should be a part of the veterinary literature of the day, the chief one being that fistula of the withers is a very prevalent disease of horses and thus exacts a big toll from the horse industry. Another reason for bringing it especially to the attention of readers of vet erinary literature is the deplorable fact that its treatment has never been standardized in the veterinary profession. Almost all long known and common complaints of domestic animals of a serious character are handled ac cording to definite plans, differing only in minor details. The many conferences of our teachers of surgery in association work, and the interchange of ideas made possible by the splendid periodicals which all progressive vet erinarians now read, as well as the profusion of all kinds of literature that reaches everyone, has fortunately created a standard of treat ment for nearly all of the more important ail ments of animals.
