CURE OF HYDROPHOBIA.
From the Imperial Magazine, London, 1922
There has been received, from gentleman Berlin, the
following important statement Of the mode Of pracsed
in the Ukraine for the bite of 6mad dog is translated from
the Berlin State Gazette 20 Of the l4h Of February
1922, and certainly entitled to the fullest consideration
of all medical practitioners
When Mr. Maroche.t, operator in the hospital at Mos
cow in the Ukraine in lsl3 in day fifteen persons
applied to him for cure having been bitten by mad dog
Whilst he was preparing the remedies depntaon of several
old men made lis appearance TO request him to allow pea
SAINT to hema who years past enjoyed a.
great reputation for his of hydrophoba and Of whose
success Mr. Maochet had already heard much He con-
sented to their request under these conditions FIRST that be-
Mr. Maroche should be present every thing done by the
peasant secondly in order that he might be fully convinced
that the dog really mad, he Mr. Marochet should select
one Of the PATIENTS who should only be treated according to
the medical course usually held in estimation girl Of six
years old was chosen for this purpose.
The peasant gave to his fourteen patients strong decoc
ton Of the " Summit and FL Gensa Lutte Tnctorm about
pound and half daily, and examined twice day under the
tongues where he stated small knots containing the poison
Of the madness must form themselves As these small
knots actually appeared, and which Mr. Maroche himself
they opened and cauterzed with red hot needle
after which the patient gargled with decocion Of the e
nista The result Of this treatment that all the fourteen
o whom only two the last btten did show these knots
dismissed cured at the end of six weeks during which
time they drank this decocon. But the little girl, who had
been treated according the usual methods seized with
hydrophobc symptoms the seventh day. and dead R
eight hours after they first took place. The persons dismissed
cured three years afterwards by Mr. Maroche
and they were all sound and WELL
Five years after this circumstance Tin lsls) Mr. Marochei
had opportunity in Podoio ofconrmng this important
discovery The treatment of twentysix persons who had
there been bitten by mad dog confded to him nine
men, eleven woman, and six children. He gave them
decoction Of the Genists and digent examna-
ton Of their tongues gave the following result five men, all
had
toned those bitten the third day, others the fifth,
SEVENTH and NINTH and woman, who had been bitten but
very superfciay in the leg ony the twenty first day.
The other also, who showed small knots drank the
"Decocum Gensa" six weeks, and all the patients
cured.
In consequence Of these observations Mr.. Marochei be-
ieves that the hydophobic poison, after remaining short
time in the wound, fixes itself for certain time under the
tongue the openings Of the ducts Of the gandu submaxeer,
which each side Of the tongue-sng, and there forms
those small knots In which may feel with probe uc
tuaiing fuid which Is that hydrophobic poison Tie usual
time Of their appearance to be between the third and
the ninth day after the bite, and they not opened with
in the FIST tweyfour hours after their formation the poison
reabsorbed into the body and the patient lost beyond the
power Of For this Mr. Marochet recommends
that such patients should be Immediately examined under the
tongue which should be for six weeks during which time
they should take daily and half pound of the Decoc
Genisu" or -four times day the powder, drachm per
dose the knots do not appear in this time madness is
TO be appehended bot they show themselves they
should be opened with lancet and then cauterze and the
patient should garge assduousy with the above mentioned
dscccion
We hasten to communicate to our readers this important
discovery (Which borrow from the Petersburgh Mscel-
neous Treatise in the Realm Of Medical Science for 1917
which certainly deserves the full attention Of medical Prac
TONER'S and which, confirmed by experience may have the
most beneficial results. .-Ips,cieh journal
