PREFACE
This chapter, as its title indicates, is to give to the Students and Veterinary Profession a general view of the diseases of poultry, their causes, symptoms and treatment in a condensed and yet in a complete form.
Thousands of dollars worth of poultry are lost each year because of the veterinarians not having for immediate reference a book giving full information regarding the causes, symptoms, and treatment of diseases, with reliable and authentic advice on what to do for poultry that are sick or unthrifty.
If this brief chapter proves itself of value to our students to which it is most fraternally dedicated, the writer will feel himself amply repaid.
Charles J. Korinek, V. S.
