REPORTS OF CASES, 
advancements made in veterinary medicine and surgery. Old 
fads and foolish superstitions have steadily given way for a new 
and intelligent order of things, and he who fails to at least 
attempt to keep posted is soon justly relegated to a place 
among choice specimens of antiquity. Investigators into the 
causes of pathological lesions have made gigantic strides, and 
means for prevention or cure have been discovered, till many 
of the diseases heretofore deemed grave, if not absolutely fatal, 
are not only relieved, but cured, by some of the newly discov¬ 
ered remedies. Foremost in the ranks of investigators is he 
who has given to the medical and veterinary practice that great 
genito-urinary remedy, Sanmetto. But a few months ago it 
was brought to my notice, and in every case where I have 
used it the results have been most gratifying. 
Especially do I find it so in cases of cystitis in dogs. In no 
case have I tried it, or known of its being tried, without accom¬ 
plishing a perfect cure, and that, too, in a very incredibly short 
period of time. Suppurative pyelitis and hsematuria give way 
before its exhibition quicker and surer than by any other course 
known to our practice. The urine clears up after a few doses 
—a proper amount is secreted and at proper intervals. The 
soreness and tenderness disappear as if by magic, and the ani¬ 
mal soon regains natural vigor under its tonic effects. Azotu- 
ria in horses yields just as readily—less than two ounces usually 
neutralizes the hypuric acid of the urine, and smaller doses 
following allay the irritation along the urinary tract and assist 
in the process of elimination of the poisonous materials of the 
system. Genito-urinary troubles in the brute creation have 
lost much of their terrors since the Od Chem. Co. has given 
to the profession their Sanmetto. 
Encouraged by its action in the brute creation, I began ask¬ 
ing myself why it would not relieve the aches and pains that 
had become chronic in my own case, and, emboldened by the 
experience of medical practitioners, I began its use upon my¬ 
self, and the result is I am to-day a well man. I wish the 
value of Sanmetto could be more generally known to our pro¬ 
fession, for in it I feel sure I recognize one of the greatest 
boons to our profession as well as to humanity at large. If this 
shall lighten the burdens of my brother practitioners, and they 
should recognize, like myself, that the difficulties standing in 
the way of a cure in many of those obstinate genito-urinary 
troubles are removed by the use of Sanmetto, the object of this 
paper will be gained.
