given to neighbors or relatives, thus 

 depriving the veterinarian of his fee. 

 Another reason that I have for finding 

 fault with this practice, is that many 

 druggists will not fill a veterinary 

 prescription honestly; seeing that it is 

 ''only for a horse" or a cow, they do 

 not hesitate to use drugs, in compound- 

 ing the prescription, that they would 

 not think of putting into a prescrip- 

 tion for a human being — old drugs, 

 drugs of inferior quality, and the like. 

 For these, as well as other equally im- 

 portant reasons, the veterinarian should 

 dispense all iodine preparations, just 

 as he does all others. He should 

 not be deterred, from using these 

 preparations, on account of the slightly 

 higher price which he must pay for 

 them, if he makes it a point to im- 

 press the worth of the article on his 

 client, and charges the fee that he 

 should.
