Homeopathic veterinary medicine
Only experience, hence, can answer the question, How much? And
experience has amply shown that for horses ten to fifteen drops is the
range of doses best adapted in ordinary cases, and that while cattle and
hogs require rather more, sheep and dogs require less than the doses
mentioned. We have indicated in each disease the dose supposed to be
best for that particular case, yet to give two or five drops more in any
given case would probably not be hurtful, while to give a few drops less
would not endanger the curative action for want of the requisite
quantity. The truth is that precision in quantity is not indispensable
to a cure. The doses indicated we think are best, but a deviation from
them is by no means fatal. One physician gives much more and another
many times less, and both are successful. Medicine gives a curative
impulse often as well or better with five or ten drops as with more.
Besides, in giving medicines to animals, from their restlessness,
dodging the head, and other similar disturbing circumstances we can not,
and happily need not, be very positive. Give doses as near directions,
as you may be able, and the result will be satisfactory. The best and
safest rule is always to follow directions given in book, chart, and on
bottles. It is unsafe for you to assume that you know more than the man
who made the medicine and has had many years experience and observation
in using them. Young animals require but half as much as grown ones.
Repetitions—How often?
The effects of Humphreys’ Homeopathic Remedies are very prompt and
positive. Often immediate, in cases of colic or other forms of
neuralgia, as the medicine acts at once through the medium of the
nervous system. In other acute cases, such as inflammations, the effect
is equally as prompt but not so openly manifest. The medicine placed in
contact with the nervous papilla of the tongue is at once by means of
this connection conveyed over the entire system, while the stomach being
a secreting rather than an absorbing surface, repels rather than absorbs
a medicinal influence, so that medicines act better for being placed on
the tongue than when they are introduced into the stomach.
