Mindful that the diseases of Camels have frequently to be 

 treated by non-professional men, and also to avoid the imputa- 

 tion of having pushed down the old system without substitutiug 

 a new, we have given a Therapeutical table, and now give a series 

 of Formulae such as seem best suited to the emergencies of 

 Camel practice. In doing this we shall be not unmindful of what 

 was of value in the old system but shall unhesitatingly strike out 

 what is inert, superfluous, filthy, or otherwise manifestly errone- 

 ous. We shall also aim at that simplicity in selection of drugs, 

 in compounding, and in dose which is absolutely essential to 

 successful practice. Even on this system our methods will seem 

 rough and clumsy in comparison with the refined modes of sur- 

 gery and medicine in the present day, but we have written to 

 very little purpose if we have not succeeded in making it clear 

 that Cameline Pathology is as yet but little advanced and that 

 intratracheal injection, hypodermic medication, neurotomy, and 

 other methods of modern Surgeons would, at present in it be as 

 much out of place as an Elizabethan wing appended to the 

 Taj Mahal. We must progress gradually to get sure results.
