Excerpt from Lectures on General Pathology: A Handbook for Practitioners and Students; Sections III-Vi; The Pathology of Digestion, Respiration, Urinary Organs, and Animal Heat The appearance of this, the second volume of my lectures has been delayed - much against my wish - by my removal to Leipzig, and also by repeated and prolonged illness. I cannot, unfortunately, hide from myself that, in spite of this long delay, the book now concluded is still incomplete. An exposition of the pathology of the sense-organs and muscular movements will not be missed, for no one will have expected me to include them in these lectures yet one section, and a most important one moreover, has been omitted, - the pathology of the nervous system. No one can regret this more than myself; nor have I been wanting in efforts to supply the deficiency. I have again and again applied to those who at present are regarded as the most distinguished authorities on nervous pathology in this country, in the hope that some one of them might undertake this section of my lectures but nowhere has my request been favorably enter tained. And not simply on personal grounds: I have been assured by all that a systematic exposition of the pathology of the nervous system is at the present moment impossible or at least impracticable. I am aware of course that such statements have only a relative value; yet this unanimity of the most competent judges has sufficed at any rate to deter me from attempting the thorough treatment of this portion of our science, not having at my command that most valu able aid of nervous pathology, -the regular observation of a large number of nervous cases. Thus I have been compelled, for good or ill, to publish these lectures in their present incomplete form. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It is organized around major components of animal use: Key concepts of animal care and use. The Guide sets the framework for the humane care and use of laboratory animals. Animal care and use program. The Guide discusses the concept of a broad Program of Animal Care and Use, including roles and responsibilities of the Institutional Official, Attending Veterinarian and the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee.

Veterinary care. The Guide discusses veterinary care and the responsibilities of the Attending Veterinarian. It includes recommendations on animal procurement and transportation, preventive medicine (including animal biosecurity), and clinical care and management. The Guide addresses distress and pain recognition and relief, and issues surrounding euthanasia. Physical plant. The Guide identifies design issues, providing construction guidelines for functional areas; considerations such as drainage, vibration and noise control, and environmental monitoring; and specialized facilities for animal housing and research needs. The Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals provides a framework for the judgments required in the management of animal facilities. This updated and expanded resource of proven value will be important to scientists and researchers, veterinarians, animal care personnel, facilities managers, institutional administrators, policy makers involved in research issues, and animal welfare advocates.
