Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Manual of the Diseases of the Elephant: And of His Management and Uses The small amount of knowledge possessed by us concerning the Diseases of the Elephant is thus far advantageous that it enables us for the present to deal with their cure in language familiar to non-professional readers and at the same time make our remarks suggestive also to those who have been scientifically educated to the treatment of diseases of animals in general. Few veterinarians pay attention to the branch of their science with which we are about to deal and even those who do are rarely placed in professional charge of elephants, facts which react on one another and retard the advance of this division of pathology. Such observations as have been made are mostly due to Transport and other Military and Civil Officers in whose way chance has thrown the charge of elephants among multifarious duties of a very different nature. It is extremely creditable to such officers as Drs. Gilchrist and Slyimm and Lieut. Ouchterlony that, under such discouraging circumstances, they have done so much as they have "on the spur of the moment" as it were. Although we know very little about elephant diseases and still less about the action of remedies on this huge quadruped, the labours of various authors have resulted in a considerable amount of information about the management of the elephant and his relations to Army Transport. Our object is to summarize and digest such material as is to hand and adapt it to the use of Transport and Veterinary Officers and to others interested in Elephant Management.
