Excerpt from Outlines of Clinical Diagnostics of the Internal Diseases of Domestic Animals In the translation of Malkmus "Grundriss der Klinischen Diagnostik" we have endeavored simply to reproduce the author's ideas with the hope that the English and American Veterinary Students may thus be provided with a text-book for which they have long felt a need. The needs of the students in the College of Veterinary Medicine of the Ohio State University have been the direct cause of the hurried undertaking of this work. A few short notes which we thought proper to add here and there, throughout the book, have been placed in []. Columbus, O., David S. White, January, 1908. Paul Fischer. Preface to the Third Edition. The favorable reception which this work has met is emphasized by the fact that it has been translated into both the English and French languages. I am convinced that the concise manner in which I have presented the subject of clinical diagnostics has received friendly recognition from practitioners. In re-writing the third edition I have endeavored to include everything which would contribute toward making it more complete and better. To this end all recent clinical observations and new methods of examination have been employed. The number of illustrations has been increased; and a table in color of the quantitative determination of indican has been added.
