Note 27 — A TREATISE ON SHEEP: (continued 3)

In speaking of remedial measures, the word treatment ought to be used in preference to "cure" which figures at the head of the medical advice in veterinary works. It is sheer nonsense to blazon such a word in pages having any pretentions to candour, for how seldom are we able conscientiously to affirm that our endeavours will be followed by a cure. All we can do is to pursue the treatment best adapted for the attainment of so desirable an end.
