EDITORIAL NOTES AND COMMENTS



Homoeopathy offers an enormous field for investigation in this direction and veterinary medicine offers a fascinating department of such research. Homoeopathic veterinarians have existed in this and in other countries and many of them have achieved brilliant results in the realm of animal medicine. Hurndall in England, has immortalized himself, so far as the practice of homoeopathic veterinary medicine is concerned, by recording his professional experience in book form.

One or two others have done the same. In Germany before the Great War, homoeopathic medicines were widely used by army officers in the treatment of their mounts and the famous Hagenbeck of Hamburg, employed homoeopathy in the treatment of his sick circus animals. There was no particular sentiment about this; it simply paid, for the losses from disease were lessened thereby.

Many a homoeopathic physician, in the past, at least, has treated successfully horses and dogs when the veterinarian with his cruder Old School methods, could do nothing. Most of us can recall successful results in animals, after apparently suitable remedies in potencies, had been given. One of our subscribers has recently asked for the publication of veterinary cases, treated homoeopathically and we would be very gratified to oblige him; perhaps some of our readers will respond to his request.

Were on the Wing Once More. With the June issue of the RECORDER, the editor will say Farewell to his readers for a period of several months, during which he will visit and take part in the International Homoeopathic Congress in London, as well as roam about the continent in the pursuit of recreation, pleasure and knowledge. For there is nothing like a European trip to furnish all three, with special emphasis perhaps, upon the first two. During the editors absence his more settled and less restless friend, Stuart Close, will hold the editorial reins and our readers know, without any emphasis from us, how efficient his guidance will be. For ourselves we wish that we might take the entire RECORDER family with us; possibly however, some of them would find the going too wet, on the other side.
