ments as found in nature, best, plain and simple, to treat disease 
which is either due to an excess oi electricity or thermism, or a 
lack oi thermism or electricity in the system, and hence the one 
thousand and one symptoms noticed in disease as a consequence 
of the same. Not until such times we recognize basic laws as a 
principle everywhere, can we fully recognize the cause of disease 
and scientifically fight its removal. And I feel sure that many 
obscure diseases to-day will in the future be explained through 
and only by basic principles. The introduction of electro¬ 
therapeutics in veterinary medicine should be encouraged and 
studied by every veterinarian, and I am sure facts will be brought 
out in the future which justify the means. My experience is yet 
limited to enumerate many cases as I first now begin to realize, 
after a few years of study, that I can get better results from 
their application in almost hopeless cases, than I can from nerve 
medicines and toxic agents, which if administered will probably 
give quick results, but of a short duration in my experience, but 
so disastrous, especially on the nerve centers, by their powerful 
reactions which they produce. I will mention some cases later 
on ; all I ask is to give me your kind consideration and give the 
matter a careiul study in the future, as I am sure it will mean 
with you, the same as with me, better results and less dead 
horses, and more humane treatment to our equine friend and a 
little more satisfaction to our clients at times. 
Thanking you kindly for your indulgence with me, probably 
to some a very trying subject, but it outlines a few remarks, ex¬ 
perimental in character, underlying a great truth.

and analyses made by different chemists and published by some 
medical journals, I concluded to examine all the brands of per-
