32 How TO CHOOSE THE KEMEDY. 



a different use, for a medicine may be curative or 

 specific for a particular disease, and equally so for a 

 very different or even seemingly opposite one. Colic 

 and Scarlet Fever are very different diseases, yet 

 Belladonna frequently cures both. 



How to Choose the Remedy. 



In the use of the Homoeopathic Specifics noth'ng 

 can be more simple than the choice of the Remedy, 

 while in attempting to use the ordinary Homoeopathic 

 preparations, the choice of the remedy is very difficult 

 and intricate. From an examination of the animal 

 you will have some idea of the nature of its disease, 

 and will at once turn to the Index and page in the 

 Manual describing that and similar diseases, and 

 continue the search until the true description is found, 

 and the proper treatment will be pointed out. It is 

 not necessary that all the symptoms given in the de- 

 scription should be present in each case, it will be 

 sufficient if a general outline of them are present, as 

 the Specific will in all cases be found to have a much 

 wider range of action than the single disease or sym- 

 ptoms required. 



In case a wrong medicine is selected or given, no 

 injury will be done, only a possible loss of time may 

 result, 



And when a sufficient length of time has passed to 

 clearly show that no good has resulted, the case 

 snould be looked over again, and a more appropriate 

 Specific selected.
