178 PRINCIPLES OF VETERINARY SURGERY 



The experience of some veterinarians would tend to 

 prove that the antitoxins are of little therapeutic value ; but 

 serum-therapy is comparatively a new science, and w^e are 

 learning more about the nature of these bodies, how to man- 

 ufacture them and administer them, and the future is full 

 of splendid possibilities. We believe that the medicine case 

 of the future veterinarian will contain a large stock of anti-< 

 toxin.
