Veterinary Post-Mortem Examinations #233506

Records of autopsies, to be of any value, should accurately represent the appearances of the tissues and organs so that a diagnosis might be made by the reader were not the examiner's conclusions stated. To make the pathological conditions clear to the reader, some definite system of dissection is necessary. The absence in the English language, of any guide in making autopsies upon the lower animals, induced the writer to contribute an article upon this subject to the Reference Handbook of the Medical Sciences. Volume VII. 1888. That it may be of more practical value to the profession I have decided to publish it in book form.
