INFALLIBLE REMEDY Fon the BrTE or
Mad DoG.--The following facts which oc-
cured in the county Of Powhatan. in August
1897, may be relied on as veri,able history and
establish beyond question or doubt, the sove-
reign efficacy Of mercury in obstruoting and C.
Indicating the awful consequences Of bites from
animals infected with hydrophobia. The wri
ter ofthis was personally present about the
time specified and saw servant boy Of his
fathers seized by mad dog, which bit him in
dozen places, inActng ghastly wounds
An eminent physician being sent for. had the
wounds washed with CASTLE soap and plaster
of mercurial ointment applied to each wound.
Calomel pills were administered in the interim,
causing salvation. The boy recovered, and
was living few years ago. never having mani
tested the slightest symptom Of hydrophobia.
A horse and two cows known to have been
bitten by the same dog the ensuing day, vert
mad and died. So well satisfied is the writer
that calomel is specific in such case, that
he would be under no apprehension of the de-
lrterious effects if bitten by dog known to be
mad.
