14 INTRODUCTION. 



seems to be a law of nature, that the more deli- 

 cate the organism, the more subject to disease. 

 Wild animals are almost entirely exempt, while 

 the highly artificial lives of some Domestic ani- 

 mals render them subject to numerous ailments 

 and to some very formidable diseases. Yet, as a 

 whole, animals are far less subject to disease than 

 men, and far more amenable to run-. 



The treatment of Domestic animals with Specific 

 Honwopathic 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 produce no poisonous or prostrating effect, 

 so that the animal rallies at once, and without 

 loss or deterioration 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 suc- 

 cessful. 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 incurable under the 

 old treatment, even when well conducted, promptly 

 respond to the curative influence of Specific Hom- 

 oeopathic Remedies, while it is well known that 

 even when animals recover under the old system, 

 such have been the ravages of disease and medi- 

 cine, that their value and usefulness are generally 

 destroyed.
