evils expanded irto greater, and how
persons were tempted to cheat and de-

From the State Journal.
Mad Dogs.

AZ many interested persons have
questioned me about the disease known
~ rabies, or hyIrophobia, or naad,,ess
IN dogs. / beg leave to submit the
following we'll established f,cts.
l>t. The disease is of rare occur
renee.
81. 1t is seldom or ever known in
Rot or cold climates, and III temperate
climates like our own it il equally
prevalent i'll hot or coll weather.
81. 1t IS nerer spontaneously ger-
Grated, but is Produced bv inoculation
alone. ID ,gs never gn mad unles bit
ten by other dogs. 1t is never pro-
ducrd i'll man by any other cause than
the bite of raoid animal, and there
is no evidence whatever TO prove
that the disease can be communicated
from one human being to another. -
The poison or virus, il funpd only in
the saliva, the other secretions and
fluids of the body being free from it,
4. 1t has been a>c-rtained that not
more tiian half the dogs known to have
been bitten by mad dogs take the dis
ease, while i'll th* human species this
proportion is reduced to- less than one
third.
In dogs, this disease manfests itself
in from one to ei glt weeks, rarely after
the latter pcrio,l; in maa from one to
twelve months, rarely exceeding three
or four months.
9th. The disease is incur.ble, but
by completely removing the wounded
part with q knife, or destroying 1t with
the rautery, the patient may be rem
3rr"l as secure aS though never bit
-vn. 7'l's freu'm@nt is as efSctual
eng Time pre"jpt$ to the appearance
u he tHmnto0ss ?f the tli$ets4, us at
the first moment otier the bite ; for
instead OF being immediate in its
effects, (like the poison of the rattle
snakc,) this poison like vaccine virus,
rem.ins for SON. lin,, Dormant.
Mr.. Blain. one OF the best Authorities,
has treated in this way upwards of fifty
persons, bitten by dogs known to have
been rabid, every one of them success
1uiiv. Inc experience OF ouatt Is the
same.
No internal remedies are to be relied
upon. If it is impraetibe to remove
the wounded part with knife, it may
be thoroughly washed with warm Wa
ter, and then completely cau.erlzed
with sticks Of nitrate of silver, Qunar
caustic,) which should come in contact
with every part of the wounded sur
face. The caustic should be repeated
once or twice every two or three
DAYS.
From the foregoing statements it
will be seen that, with careful a,trn-
tion, the bite If a rahil animal is n"
more to be dreaded than the meaSlc.>,
scarletina, or any other form of lntec-
tiouS disease.
