MAJOR S BRITISH REMEDY. 
321 
P.S.— I am truly delighted to find that the Professors of 
the Royal Veterinary College, London, co-operate so kindly 
and energetically with the Royal College of Veterinary 
Surgeons, which I trust (now the long alineation has ceased) 
will at no distant time be of benefit to the whole profession, 
particularly if the noble suggestion of Mr. Mayer be carried 
out, viz. that of inflicting a fine upon impostors who arrogate 
to themselves the title of V.S.

MAJOR’S “ BRITISH REMEDY.”

town, post-master, &c. ; has a spavin on each hock, for which

leg, at starting , though after being driven a mile, he goes sound, 
“ Major’s Remedy ” was applied, and attended to as before 
stated in my last letter, and at the expiration of three months 
(having been previously prepared) the horse was sent to me 
to drive in harness, that I might have an opportunity of 
judging as to the good or bad effect of the application . I used 
him for a fortnight, and found him lamer than before the appli- 
cation of the i£ Remedy 39 (?), and he has continued so up to 
the present date, never going sound during any part of the 
journey, as formerly. 
Case II. — A black gelding, sixteen hands high (the pro- 
perty of Mr. E. Egglesden, Sussex Hotel, Tunbridge Wells,) 
used for posting and black work, is very lame from a spavin 
on the off hock, which I had , twelve months previously, 
severely fired and blistered. This horse underwent the same 
treatment as No. I. 
Case III. — A black Flemish gelding, fifteen hands high, 
purchased by Mr. Egglesden (of Mr. Masters, wine merchant, 
in this town), expressly for a trial of the ee Remedy.” He has 
a spavin on each hock , but had never been under treatment for 
them . He was prepared by physic, &c., and treated in the 
same manner as the other cases. I have seen this horse and
