LIST OF SPECIFICS AND REMEDIES. 19 



ALTERNATION OF REMEDIES. 



In general but one medicine is required for a 

 disease, and it may be repeated from time to 

 time, until the case is cured. But cases are often 

 so constituted that two Specifics are indicated at 

 the same time, one to meet one phase of the dis- 

 ease, and a different specific to meet another. In 

 all cases the two medicines may be given alter- 

 nately with great propriety and advantage. Thus, 

 give a dose of one specific, and then, after the 

 proper interval has elapsed, give the other one, 

 and thus continue the two alternately, at such in- 

 tervals as the exigencies of the case demand. 

 Nor should we be deterred from the use of a spe- 

 cific in a particular case, because the name given 

 it indicates 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. Whenever it becomes necessary to 

 use a second remedy in alternation, No. 9 may be 

 chosen, as that is a constitutional remedy. 



HOW TO CHOOSE THE REMEDY. 



In the use of these Specifics nothing can well 

 be more simple than this, while in attempting to 

 use the ordinary Homoeopathic preparation it is 

 very difficuct and intricate. From an examina- 

 tion of the animal you will have some idea of the 

 nature of its disease, and will at once turn to the 

 page in the manual where the diseases will be 

 found classified, and each class numbered to cor- 

 respond with each vial containing the proper 

 remedy.
