BITE oF A CAT.

II is stated IN Boston Medical Journal
that the bite of an epraged cat will produce
violent species of hvdrophobla, in ilus,ra
Ton Of which the following instance Is gwen /:
"A mllkman having remarked a cat of
ten coming TO steal the milk IN his DAIRY
lay IN wait for IT, and attacked 1t with d
Ratchet. There was a considerable con
lest, until at last, the cat, unable to AVOID a
blow, eaped at the man and seized him by
the chin, whence there was no possibility OF
detachlng it, save by cutting ofi' its head
The patient was carried to the hospital, and
the presontiyes of hydrophobla applied. -
On the twenty second day the fatal symp
toms made their appearance he experlenc
ed much difficulty IN swallowing water, but
this he oyercame with great iortilude; the
difficulty increased; the wound became bad !;
The patient grew furious, endeavored to bite
every one that came near him, was bound
In chains, and Immediately broke them IN
pieces, leaped from bed, ran up aud down
the hospital, attempting TO bite all he met,
TIL, reaching the outer door, in order to
escape, he was seized with a shlvering, anu
fell dead. On dissection, the appearance OF
this case was precisely the same as that OF
