Excerpt from The Diseases of Poultry The author has for years given attention to the diseases encountered in the poultry-yard, and long since became impressed with the desirability of a systematic treatise on the subject. The pamphlets, by various authors, which have appeared in the English language have been very useful, but they have been far too brief, they have not contained the results of modern investigations and they have lacked illustrations. There have been more extensive monographs in German, French and Italian, but these have been, for the most part, sealed books to English-speaking poultry men. It has been necessary for the author to examine much of the literature of this subject in order to keep abreast with the progress of science and to reply intelligently to the numerous inquiries which he has received. The notes thus made led to the writing of a number of articles for the press, which were so well received and brought out so many requests for more information, that it was decided to fill in the parts which had not been touched upon and produce a small reference book for the use of those interested in the subject. This volume is the result, and it is hoped that it may prove useful to the thousands who are annually under the necessity of struggling with the problem of disease in the poultry-yard. The author has, in the preparation of this work, consulted with much profit the Medecine des oiseaux. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
