    PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. Since the first edition of this book appeared, the question of Veterinary Hygiene has received greater attention both in and out of the profession, and it is probable that before long, systematic instruction on this important subject will be given in our veterinary schools as part of the regular course. For the advancement we have made in this direction we are indebted to the intelligence of our Body Corporate, and the impetus given to the science by the meeting in London of the International Congress of Hygiene. The only important alterations which this edition has undergone are in the chapter on Ventilation. The previous calculations of the amount of air required by horses were based on some early foreign observations ; more recent ones, including my own, have produced a modification in the figures. Although I have published a separate manual on ‘Saddles and Sore Backs,’ I have not considered it necessary to remove this chapter from the present edition.
