A CURE FOR CAM q MADNESS.
.Nayoralty Of ". Orleans

Mr.. Chabrst, Physician from the U.
University OF montpelier, lately arrived in
isis city, has just made known to me a
remedy for the canine madne.s, which
has been pointed out as specific by the
Italian physicians.
That remedy was published in the Pi.
edmontuse Gazette d the 9th Nav last,
from Which 1t is literally copied by Mr..
Chabert himself, before leaving France.
The discovery Of it is due to professor
B ugna,e!i, aud it would be the more adj
van'age"us TO try by experiments the
confidence which it may be entitled 20,
as the use of the remedy can be attended
with NJ dangerous consequences. There
fore deem IT my duty to make il known
to my fellow citizens, by publishing the
following, as it has peea transmitted to
me:
Thanks TO the celebrated professor
Brugnatelii an efTicaciCus remedy has, at
last, been d. covered against canine mad
ness, perhaps the most hvrrid of all dis
eases. That remedy consists in hydro
clore iacid muriatic OK agleux) used
a, well inside of the body as .on the exile
rior parts of it. The wound produced by
he bite of mad animals must be washed
with it. 1t appears that that substance
destroys the hydrophobic poison, even
when used several days after the fatal
bite. A number of well authenticated
cures operated by that simple means, in
the great hospitals Of Lombardy. do not
permit to doubt the progress Of that pre-
cious remedy" AUG. MAcARTY.

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.


= We observe in the speech Of MIR. Ken
nedy, III the Maryland Legislature, on the
subject o. nai;ing turnpike road TO the
District Of Columbia, that the city OF Bal.
timore is very sensitive upon allowing
the District participation even in her
natural advantages Of commerce. The
speaker says he is told that Baltimore
cannot consent to the measure, although
she is making turnpike roads to every
crossing place of the Potomac, to obtain
also the produce Of Virginia; yet she
cannot suller the District OF COlunhia to
have any advantages, though they are to
produce a general good TO the commun'-
~. He saws he has understood that
there are men, Of high standing too, in
Baltimore who are affected with sume-
thing like hydrophobia when Potomac
water is mentioned. This We well know
to be the TACT, from the langaid state Of
the navigation of the Potomac, though
Che state Of Maryland holds stake of
$4,000 in its stock.
We are persuaded that the commerce
Of this District is not sufficiently aPpre-
ciated even by its own inhabitants, who
too often JON in the clsmors OF the de-
signing or disappointed against its well
doing; for, BY a late report of the secre-
tary Of the treasury to congress, it ap.
pears that the District of Columbia ex-
ported in the year ending the s0th Sept.
1917, of domestic aud foreign articles,
in value, one million seven hundred and
Mty-eight thousand and fifty eight dol
lars more than two thirds o. which must
