HypHoruoBrA.~~It has been safd hy.
dropbobia IL incurable; and this IL no doubt
true, If the poison Il allowed to diff 50 itself
through The systcm, before "A remedy II ap.
piled. But If Mr.. Yonatt, the celebrated
veterinary surgeon, Is right, ~hydropbobia,
tftaken IN time, lg not particularly DANCE
Tous. He recommends he following
mode Of treatment, 10 he commenced IN
soon ms possible after he injury bns been
received:
Cuuterize The wound thoroughly with Ia.
mar caustic. Let this, shafpened to the
point, be applied thoroughly to rvety rc-
cess and sinuogity ofthe wound, where the
teeth or saliva Of the animal could posi-.
bly, have penetrated. This will form an
eschar, hard, dry, and insoIuile, II com
pound Of the animal fibre aud the %caustic,
In which the virus il wrapped up, and from
which II cannot be separated. In a short
time this dead matter sIoughs away, ard
the virus IL carried offwith IL. Previous TO
applying The %canstic, Il will often he nc.
cessary to enlarge the wound, that every
part may be fairly got Ut, aud after the first
eschar has sloughcd off IL will be advisa.
bic TO apply the causiic u second time to
destroy any part that may not have rcceiv-
ed the full influence Of the first operation.
or that may possibly have been inocuIaied
more by it. This carefully and thoroughly
done, the patient may feel perfectly safe.
The poison will have been entirely remov.
ed, and no danger can rrmain. Mr.. You.
att himself has been repeatedly bitten by
rabrd dogs, and other veterinary surgeons
also, but after pursuing the course above
Recommended, they have felt entirely SC
cure, a confidence justified by the event, as
we'll as by experiment tried on inferior an.
imals. This advice, given not by quacks.
but by practitioners OF skill and experience
and founded, it will be acknowledged, on
reasonable grounds, is worthy to be noted
and remembered.
