Form of Homeopathic Medicines. 



Three forms are principally in use, namely, tinctures, 

 dilutions, powders, and medicated pellets. Each have 

 their advantages and objections, but after an exten- 

 sive experience and ample survey of the entire ground 

 we prefer for animals the low dilutions. The dose 

 is rather more positive, and they meet on the whole 

 every reasonable requirement.
