Book excerpt: Excerpt from Synopsis of Prof. Baker's Lectures on Theory and Practice of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery The practice of medicine is looked upon as a science and as an art. As a science it treats of the nature, existence, condition and causes of disease; as an art it is directed to the recognition, prevention and treat ment of diseases; cause of diseases is the most principal. Surgery is classified in the same way. Practice of medicine is practically experimental.
