We hope that this work will prove of use to both the medical man and the veterinary surgeon in their daily practice; for, by indicating the range of action of each drug, it places at their disposal a scientific principle upon which to found their line of treatment. The portion of this work devoted to veterinary subjects has been contributed by Mr. F. J. Mavor; and he here takes the opportunity of assuring his professional brethren that it is with pleasure he now lays before them the results of his long experience and numerous investigations—investi- gations in which he has, at various times, been aided by many of his medical friends. Special thanks he feels are due to Dr. Winslow, Dr. Richardson, Dr. John Harley, and Dr. Althaus, also to Mr. Hemmingway, chemist. Port- man Street, to whom he is indebted for obtaining pure and reliable preparations of the various drugs experimented with. ALEXAITDER G. BURNESS. 50, Green Steeet, Grosvenor Square, W. 1874.
