Pocket Manual of Homeopathic Veterinary Medicine

Details

Pocket Manual of Homoeopathic Veterinary Medicine by Edward H. Ruddock, was published in 1878.

This book offers up symptoms, causes, and homeopathic treatment for horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, and dogs.

Ruddock addressed this work to those unfamiliar with homeopathy and its application to domestic animals. As such he focuses on the essential points of homeopathy-one remedy at a time, small doses, provides a philosophical perspective on health and disease, and then addresses common health problems.
