Excerpt from Text Book of Comparative General Pathology for Practitioners and Students of Veterinary Medicine
The introduction of students of veterinary medicine to the study of pathology, because of the lack up to the present time of a German text book of general pathology adapted to diseases of animals, has depended chiefly upon works written for the practitioner of human medicine; the lectures of instructors in veterinary medicine and students' notes, made with more or less accuracy, supplying the necessary additions and explanations.
Only one work, the Text Book of General Pathological Anatomy by Birch-Hirschfeld, has been amended from the standpoint of our special branch of medicine, by the addition of veterinary-medical paragraphs from the facile pen of Johne, so as to seem adapted for students in veterinary schools; but it is confined to pathological anatomy, and the physiological and ?tiological features, the manifestation of functional impairments, pathogenesis, etc.. require further reference to special works.
As an introduction and foundation for appreciation of the practice of veterinary medicine, to be studied and put into application in the latter portions of the college curriculum, after completion of the courses in anatomy, physiology and the natural sciences, the student should be given a general idea of the meaning of disease, the (etiology of diseases, of the make-up of our medical knowledge and of the principles of classification, as well as a general familiarity with the alterations in structure and function met in disease. It is for this reason that lectures on general pathology are provided, introductory to the special applied branches of study. The need of a work concisely comprehending such features has determined me to undertake the task of preparing a condensed outline of the fundamental facts of pathology with special adaptations to the requirements of veterinarians.
