At this time I merely desire to communicate some of the entries
from my veterinary records, which are much briefer, and which I
communicate without special selection, but which will serve to confirm
what I have stated above. In order to be better understood, I will
only add the following:
- The cases communicated are all from the first half of this year
(1863) as the dates prefixed indicate.
- Only such cases are cited from which I later on have recieved
a report, but these are given without exception, so that such
as were not improved were by no means excluded.
- The disease is everywhere given in a few words and copied verbatim
so that nothing is added anywhere from memory. The facts are therfore
stated baldly but are perfectly suffiecient for this purpose.
- In all animals, great or small, the dose used was always 200th
potency.
- The dose was dissolved in pure cold spring water or river water
by shaking it up for the horse in half a bottle of water, for
the others in a quantity proportional to their size; this shaking
was continued for one minute and the solution was given in one
dose.
- In all cases the persons were strictly enjoined not to use anything
external in connection with the medicine.
- So also the diet and mode of living remained in all cases entirely
unchanged, but ofcourse every medical application was strictly
forbidden and only the homeopathic medicine was used.
