Excerpt from Cattle Tuberculosis: A Practical Guide to the Agriculturist and Inspector

The first edition, which I wrote in conjunction with Dr. Legge, being exhausted, I have been asked by the publishers to bring out a second one. This has prae tically involved re-writing the book, as during the interval so many fresh experiments have been made and so many new regulations introduced by foreign countries, that I have had to omit a good deal which had become anti quated in' my endeavour to bring the book up to date. My object has been to write in such a manner that the subject can be understood by those who have to deal practically with it, yet who, perhaps, have not had the necessary training to appreciate technical phraseology. Tuberculosis is one of the most serious diseases the community have to face, and a general knowledge of its contagious nature, and the methods of combating it, is particularly needful for agriculturists. I hope also that the regulations which I have inserted from foreign coun tries and the various statistical tables may be of use to those who are professionally endeavouring to get rid of this great scourge. In the text I have endeavoured to acknowledge those whose works I have quoted.
