 iodine preparations are cheaper than 

 almost anything that the veterinarian 

 uses, in a pharmaceutical way; a little

 own energy. Almost never, it might be 

 said, are other agents expected to assist 

 it in its action. For this reason, it is 

 very essential that the preparation be 

 of correct and ample strength, that it 

 contain the iodine in a form readily 

 available by the tissues, and that the 

 vehicle carrying the iodine have no

 to the fee that the practitioner charges
