Hit hard and hit fast against EPM

"Frapper fort et frapper vite," translated as "hit hard and hit fast," was adopted by Dr. Paul Ehrlich in 1913 to emphasize the importance of taking strong, early action against parasitic infections. "[T]o allow the therapeutic treatment to come into action as early as possible... it is necessary to do one's utmost to destroy the whole of the parasites all at once by means of powerful drugs."2

"We are on the threshold of some
exciting discoveries with this drug.
"
Dr. John Hunt, Carthage, IN
