Preface

When the Traite de T]lh^ape^ctiq^le Generate Veterinaire of Professor Cadiot was issued, it appeared to me that the Englishreading practitioner, as well as the students of our veterinarycolleges, would be benefited by its perusal, and for that purpose I obtained from the author permission to translate it.

It is thought by the translator that in undertaking to present the work in its English form, he should add a contribution which lie hopes will prove valuable, especially to the branch of General Surgery, which is perhaps still deficient in English veterinary literature ; but, as no reference to American work is made in the original text, the translator will take the liberty to add notes, whenever in his estimation due credit can be inserted, in relation to what contribution he can gather from American works.

It is possible, however, that in adding these notes some omission may occur ; in which case it is hoped that the indulgence of the reader will not be refused to the author, who will have then, sinned without intention.

My principal desire is to have the English-speaking profession benefited, and give its members an opportunity to be well acquainted with all the progress made in Veterinary Surgery up to this day.
