Excerpt from The Diseases of the Genital Organs of Domestic Animals

The re-casting Of the genital diseases of animals into a systematic treatise is a formidable task, the first effort at which must be very imperfect. In 1909 I published vet erinary obstetrics; including the diseases OF breed ing animals and OF the new born in which many of the diseases of the genital organs were included under the primitive plan. It was abandoned at the exhaustion Of the first edition. In 1917 I published veterinary obstet rics and began the preparation of the present volume. The two treatises have been designated companion volumes because they are closely allied in subject matter and may be profitably studied together.

The present treatise appears at a critical period in the history of the diseases of the genital organs of animals, when an Old, firmly entrenched belief is Slowly crumbling and a modern one is struggling for recognition. Abortion has long been regarded as a Specific infectious disease, due in a given species of animals to one bacterium and to one only. If an exception arose and a given abortion or group of abortions was apparently due to an infection other than that specified for the species of animal concerned, it was not infectious abortion but merely abortion due to infection.
