One bottle originating from the 18th century is labelled Tinct. Canthar. and thus contained an extract of Spanish flies. The active substance in such a tincture is cantharidin. The use and effects of this remedy in veterinary as well as human medicine are described. The use of cantharidin in the 18th century was linked to the predominant believe that illness was caused by imbalance of the four humours of the body. Its blistering effect was thought to \"draw\" superfluous liquid from the body. Its pronounced toxicity made its use to disappear, but it could still be found to be used in veterinary medicine as a blister and by undiscerning people as an aphrodisiac. Recent studies has shown cantharidin to possess antitumour effect--something that Dioscorides noted in his texts from around A.D. 40-80!</p>","PeriodicalId":81421,"journal":{"name":"Historia medicinae veterinariae","volume":"35 2","pages":"35-48"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"30152901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"On means of transport of Danish veterinarians during the last two hundred years.","authors":"Ivan Katić,&nbsp;Johannes Kristiansen","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>For almost 20 years the authors have been selecting and editing the material referring to the means of transport which Danish veterinarians used in the 18th, 19th and 20th century. The source material contains memoirs, advertisements from veterinary medical journals, obituaries and other sources, based on which a 210-page book in the Danish language has been published. The article presents an abridged version of this book. In Denmark, the first veterinarians rendered their services at the time when this profession had not yet established itself. They were relatively poor and very often they had to walk even 15 to 20 km per day in order to visit two or three farms, where their professional help was needed. In the first half of the 19th century, the economic situation of Danish veterinarians improved, so they could afford a horse of their own. From the second half of the 19th century, the gig, a light two-wheel vehicle drawn by one horse, was in use. At the end of the 19th century, bicycles and motor-bicycles were slowly gaining ground. The gig, however, continued to be the main means of transport, because it was cheap and safe. In the 20th century, the automobile era began, but World War I prevented the widespread use of cars due to the shortage of petrol, rubber parts and the like. After the war, automobiles came into common use both in medical and veterinary practice. Only in hard winters with much snow, horses and sledges were coming to the fore again. World War II once again created the shortage of petrol and rubber tyres, so horses and gas generators were in demand. After the war, various car models completely dominated the veterinary practice, cars with built-in shelves for medicines, instruments and other medical supplies in particular. The telephone was a great help and of service to veterinarians, because many of long trips to clients were not necessary any more, thanks to the simple communication over the phone. Veterinarians were often among the first owners of the telephone in a town or village, which can still be seen in their valid phone numbers (ending with 01, 02, etc.). Some veterinarians travelled also by train, during the war in particular. When there was much snow, some used skis. Some Danish veterinarians had to accompany exotic animals on their journey from Africa or Thailand, where planes were the main means of transport. In the 19th and 20th century, veterinarians used to accompany animals during their transport at sea, for example from South America to Danish colonies in West India (Tranquebar). After World War II, several veterinarians accompanied animals transported by ships to some of the Baltic harbours in the former USSR. In Denmark, there are many islands with numerous farms, therefore, if required, veterinarians from the continent have to be ready to go to the islands any time, day or night. In such cases boats are the primary means of transport, but planes and helicopters are also used in modern times.

Thus chamomile prescribed by Hernquist for external use for wounds and light inflammatory processes in the skin could most likely have been effective as it is considered to be to day. Also for indigestion and flatulence Hernquist might have had therapeutic success using chamomile teas. Willow bark, which Hernquist recommended for \"fevers\" most likely could have been effective for mild fevers due to its contents of salicin, which is transformed to salicylic acid.

Some mammals, including human beings, may also be affected and die. Specific tools for the diagnosis of HPAI were not available before 1955, but since then more than 25 outbreaks were reported throughout the world, with an unusual incidence in Asia and Europe after 2003. However, before 1955 and since the Antiquity, numerous important outbreaks have been reported in Europe in domestic or wild birds, with high morbidity and mortality rates. Such outbreaks involved either poultry (including domestic geese or ducks) or wild birds (water fowl or land fowl). As far as the latter were concerned, some authors of the Middle-Ages attributed the large-scale deaths of birds to pitched battles between different avian species. Many details are given on the places and dates of these outbreaks, as well as on their epidemiological features.

However, history of conventional veterinary medicine dates back only to the arrival of the Pioneer Column, 115 years ago. At that time, veterinary infrastructure and staffing was poor relative to size of the country, in terms of livestock census. Despite that, few veterinarians on the ground managed to eradicate rinderpest (RD), rabies for 37 years, contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP), glanders, epizootic lymphangitis, East coast fever (ECF) and contagious epivaginitis. However, the 1964-1979 war of liberation (WOL), also dubbed Second Chimurenga, disrupted, among other things, gains that had been made in veterinary medicine thus far. After independence, this drawback was addressed head-on. The 1980-1990 era was approached on a note of optimism and enthusiasm to uphold high standard set by professional predecessors. The aim was to learn from previous mistakes, shift emphasis from primary animal health care to herd health and production management. By necessity the livestock policy, and indeed, the Animal Health Act, should be reviewed in the wake of the fast-track land acquisition and resettlement drive, \"War on Land\" also referred to as Third Chimurenga.
