An early report shows that cholera epidemics in Europe were effectively tackled by homeopathic medicines (Leary, 1994). The work refers to the epidemic in 1854. The results may not be reliable because modem diagnostic techniques were not available at that time and adequate placebo controls were not kept. Abrotanum D1 was tested on 27 dogs and 26 cats infected with intestinal nematodes in a Veterinary clinic of Germany and the results were positive (Krause, 1993).
