Excerpt from A Surgical Operating Table for the HorseBefore, however, finally adopting this model and erecting an operating table of my own, I communicated with, and in many cases visited, those persons in Europe who were using such apparatus. The visits were made during 1892-3 - 4 - 8 and '9, usually while inspecting or studying at foreign veterinary schools, and extended to France, Germany, Italy, austro-hungary, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, and Holland.
