directed to be exhibited in solution, as in gastritis. And 
“ should this fail to produce a free action of the bowels within 
twelve or fourteen hours after being given, administer a 
second draught, containing half the quantity of aloes.’ 5 To 
this is judiciously added—“ Purgation will be hastened by 
giving the patient from a pint to a quart of tepid water every 
hour. 55 Again, bleeding is recommended in several places, 
and this is regarded with horror by a true homoeopathist. 
We likewise need hardly add that the doses of the therapeutic 
substances are much larger than those usually advocated for 
the human subject. 
In proof of what we have just advanced, we will make a 
few extracts from the treatment of two or three diseases, 
selecting those which more commonly come under the notice 
of the veterinary surgeon, and adverting only to the reme¬

latter (of the second trituration) in drachm doses mixed with flour/’ 
Enteritis. 
“The best remedies against Enteritis in general, are—Aconite J, 
Arsenicum 2, Bryonia 1, Rhus Toxicodendron 1, and Hot Water. 
After detailing the common principles with reference to the application 
of these medicines in Enteritis, I shall proceed to discuss the questions 
of bleeding, and the use of sedatives in this disease.” 
Referring to bleeding , sedatives, and purgatives , in enteritis, 
Mr. Haycock says—and here we come to that which appears 
to us to be, and most certainly is, anti-homceopathic practice—

those cases of Enteritis intrusted to my care, I pass to the consideration
