impressible, and the doses for them need not be so 

 much larger than for the human species. It seems 

 to be a law of nature, that the more delicate the or- 

 ganism, the more subject to disease. Wild animals 

 are almost entirely exempt, while the highly artificial 

 lives of some Domestic Animals render them subject 

 to numerous ailments and to some very formidable dis- 

 eases. Yet, as a whole, animals are far less subject 

 to disease than men, and far more amendable to cure. 



The treatment of Domestic Animals with SPECIFIC 

 HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES, has numerous advantages. 



THE MEDICINES ARE GIVEN AT ONCE and without 

 trouble or annoyance, even without taking a horse 

 from his team, or a cow from her stall. THEY PRO- 

 DUCE NO POISONOUS OR PROSTRATING EFFECT SO that 



the animal rallies at once, and without loss or deter- 

 ioration of value. ANIMALS RECOVER MUCH SOONER 

 and hence are able to resume work much earlier after 

 sickness, than under any other system. But more 

 than all, it is far more successful. Slighter diseases 

 yield at once, and often from a single dose, while the 

 most formidable cases of Pleuro-Pneumonia, or 

 Founder, in horses, and Lung Murrain and Milk 

 Fever, in cows, cases that are almost absolutely incura- 

 ble under old treatment, even when well conducted, 

 p omptly respond to the curative influence of Specific 

 Homoeopathic Remedies, while it is well known that 

 even when animals recover under the old system of 

 treatment, such have been the ravages of disease and 

 medicine, that their value and usefulness are generally 

 destroyed.
