HOMCEOFATHIC EEMEDY FOR FLY-DISEASE. 159 



bearing on the question of travel and transport " (Vol. II.,

16tJi November, 1872. Near the Aeezy B., at the south 

 end of Lake Tanganyika. — " After waiting some time for 

 the men I sent back yesterday to look after the sick donkey, 

 they arrived, but the donkey died this morning. Its 

 death was evidently caused by Tsetse bite and bad usage 

 by one of the men, who kept it forty-eight hours without 

 water. The rain, no doubt, helped to a fatal end ; it is a 

 great loss to me " (Vol. II., p. 249).

[Translation.] " The Tsetse Fly. — A great drawback 

 to those regions is a small fly, in size and shape approaching 

 our house-fly, but somewhat paler in colour, of which the 

 natives assert that a single puncture is suflScient to kill 

 a horse, cow, or dog, while donkeys and goats suffer no 

 injury from it. Only one remedy appears to be efiective, 

 and that is based upon homoeopathic principles : the fly 

 itself, taken internally, makes the punctures innocuous, 

 as I have seen in the case of a dog, which after admin- 

 istering this remedy I took with me as far as the Lower 

 Zambesi and sent back again perfectly well with those 

 who had accompanied me. In the year 1868, when I had 

 an ox, a she-ass, and a dog with me and made experi- 

 ments with a solution of muriate of ammonia, the ox and 

 the dog perished, while the she-ass, to which I did not 

 administer any of the solution of this salt, after a few 

 days of rest suddenly attached itself to a troop of zebras 

 that were charging by, and ran off, without my ever 

 being able to catch it again " (p. 49).
