The veterinary kit dates to around 1860 and was made by James Moore. It was obtained from the auction sale of the Earl of Dudley’s estate and includes 24 glass bottles.
James Moore (1807-1886), a Scottish veterinary surgeon, championed homeopathy for animals, which is said to have continued to remain important to the present day.
Moore was a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons Council from 1873 to 1877. He was a prolific author writing several books and pamphlets. Outlines of veterinary homœopathy1 ran to ten editions between 1857 and 1899.
