CHLOROFORM in HYDROPHOBIA.
The Free Press has an interesting account of the case
of Mr. Tasman. He was bitten nine weeks ago by a
little dog which he owned, but not knowing it was mad,
the wound, which at first bled freely, was permitted
to heal up. The dog disappeared, but still he felt no
apprehension of danger until Thursday of last week,
when he felt a sudden and acute pain in the scar of the
wound, which shot like lightning up his arm to his
shoulder, and thence through his breast. Then for the
first time were the fears of the unhappy man aroused; he
felt a presentiment of his death, and said to one of bis
sons, who was by at the time, " that his die was cast."
The
lad account in the Free Press says—" The part which
