BRITISH REMEDY. 
245 
I should like to know who is in the background ; for I 
really believe that Mr. Harry Daws is only put forward by 
those who dare not show themselves. In his “ truthful 
statement,” he mentions Mr. Evans’s cob ; and, on my 
sending to ascertain the truth of Mr. Cook’s letter, Mr. 
Evans at once expressed his indignation at such conduct, 
and wrote me to the following effect : — 
“ I observe a letter in the “ Veterinarian” from Mr. 
Robt. Cook, dated Erith, February 15th, 1853, stating that 
my cob received no benefit from Mr. Major’s treatment. 
This I altogether deny, and that Mr. Cook had no authority 
from me for this statement. 
“ David Evans. 
“ 121, Cheapside; March 22d, 1853.” 
With Mr. Rennison’s the same, the horse was sold, and 
no complaint was made about it, which would have been the 
case had it been as Mr. Harry Daws had stated. 
I could go on much farther, and send you the different 
certificates I am in daily receipt of ; but it is not necessary. 
That there must be some failures I will admit ; but that more 
than seven out of ten have been cures I can prove, and even 
more than that number under my own treatment. Grooms 
and others who have followed out my instructions, have 
applied the “ Remedy” with the utmost success; while I 
admit that veterinary surgeons have in some instances failed, 
when they have set up their own ideas before my mode of 
treatment. 
If by such means as I have described Mr. Harry Daws 
(or for whoever he may act) thinks to put down what I know 
to be true of the effects of my medicine, he will find himself 
mistaken. To me, he has proved my best friend, as, by 
publicity or inquiry, my practice will be proved to be truth, 
and a substitute for the barbarous use of the “ cautery” at 
once established. 
To you, Sir, and all professionals and others I hold out 
the same invitation I have ever held — “ Come and see, judge 
for yourselves, and try my mode of treatment in contrast 
with the old practice of u firing and blistering.” I am 
ready to abide the decision. 
Yours respectfully, 
Joseph Major.
