REVUE INTERNATIONALE DE MEDECINE DOSIMETRIQUE VETE- 
RINAIRE. (Ch. Chauteaud, Publisher, Paris. 
The therapeutic introduced some nineteen years ago by 
Professor Burggraere, under the name of “ dosimetric medi¬ 
cine,” has made great progress in Europe especially, and prin¬ 
cipally in France, and its adoption in veterinary practice 
counts, at the present time, numerous partisans, having 
amongst its supporters gentlemen of high standing in veteri¬ 
nary circles. 
A new journal, the International Review of Veterinary Dosi¬ 
metric Medecine, has now been issued, under the direction of the 
author of the new method and we hereby offer our best 
wishes for its success, and tender our sincere welcome to the 
new journalistic candidate. If patience and perseverance can 
insure success, these qualities, and the energy exhibited by Dr. 
Burggraere will both deserve and secure this realization. But 
whether this be so or not, the labors and efforts of the learned 
professor are not likely ever to be forgotten, and one day or 
another will claim, and doubtless receive, the just apprecia¬ 
tion that his work deserves. We are not sufficiently ac¬ 
quainted with the “dosimetric therapeutic” to speak very in¬ 
telligently of its value, but at the same time we cannot but 
recognize the fact that the use of the alkaloids, which consti¬ 
tutes one of the principal features of the method, does in 
many instances supersede advantageously some of the nu¬ 
merous compounds which compose many of the prescriptions 
in ordinary use, and that, in many instances, we have been 
personally benefited in employing them. 
Can it be that this is only a European manifestation of 
* 
what has for so many years been known in the United States 
as the “ Eclectic School of Medicine,” the two principal 
points of whose doctrine and practice refer to the employ¬ 
ment of vegetable alkaloids and the denunciation of mineral 
remedies ?
