12 THE POULTRY DOCTOR. 



you doubt the legibility of your penmanship and a 

 good sized vial will be mailed, postpaid, and securely 

 packed. If there is a homoeopathic physician in the 

 neighborhood, he will no doubt be glad to sell you the 

 required remedy. 



Homoeopathic medicines may also be obtained from 

 some druggists; but in such cases it must be insisted on 

 that the vials bear the labels of a homoeopathic phar- 

 macy they are all sealed with a metallic capsule when 

 put up for druggists 7 trade, and have the firm's name 

 preparing them blown on the vial. There is good 

 reason for this caution. The two schools work under 

 different pharmacopoeias, and the average druggist 

 knows little or nothing of the preparation and dynam- 

 ization of homoeopathic medicines. Another, and a 

 very urgent, reason for this caution is that homoeopathy 

 deals with very active poisons which, by the process of 

 preparation, are rendered harmless for injury, unless 

 taken in oft-repeated and long-continued doses, while 

 still retaining all their curative powers. This leads us 

 to the subject of 



Dynamization or Potentiation. 

 It is, unfortunately, a common error to suppose that 

 homoeopathy means small doses and nothing more.
