| AyAyupiyjia.-A writer in the London stan

| practice, operated on some hundreds of human
beings (himseIf among them) who had been bit
ten by rabid animals, and in no case had there
been loss Of life, gives the following preventative
Of that Gightful malady:
"Thc person bitten should, as soon as possible,
thoroughly wash and cleanse the bitten part; not
suck the poison from the wound, Us is too COM
monty done, for incubation may take place by an
abrasion on the lip 1.-THE wound be superficial and
ragged, let the edges be removed with a pair Of
scissors, and then apply freely to every part the
nitrate Of silver, commonly called lunar causiic
and which may be had in any druggists shop. If
the wound be puncturcd one, as in some cases
it is from the tusk Of the animal going deep in the
flesh, the stick of caustc must be carefully point
cd that it may reach the bottom; if necessary, the
wound should be enlarged, care being taken in
the use of the knife, or the poison may be carried
by it over the fresh surface The nitrate of silver
completely destroys the surface Of the wound, and
neurazes the poison, which comes away with
the DESTROYED surface without the absorbcnts act
ing upon it, and, if freely applied TO the parts ai-
fccted, the patient may feel himself perfectly safe
do not recommend the application of a poul,ice
after the operations; but let the wound he expos
cd to the atmosphere, and, should any nllamma-
ton onsuc, it may be relieved by dressings Of olive
oil

speaker of the house, resigned on account of i'll
