How to treat the Bite of a Dog.

DR.. Stephen Ware, of Boston, in his
te.timoney of recent case which grew
out Of the injuries from the bite of dog,
furnished the following valuable advice :
In the case of a bite by dog, where the
teeth of the animal penetrated the flesh,
whether the dog was known to be mad
or not, he should use the same pre-
cautions. He should wash the wound
with warm water, extract all the virus
possible by sucking the wound with his
lips, and then cauterize it deeply with the
caustic must readily obtained, but should
use potash if it could be procured at once.
The time in which the effects of the bite
of mad dog would be seen, varied from
two to three days to as many years, but if
no effects were felt after two or three
months, as a general thing the patient
might consider himself safe. Bites made
through clothing are seldom productive
of much harm, as even if the dog is mad
the clothing absorbs the virus before the
teeth reach the flesh Almost all the ia,
tai cases are where the person was bitten
on some naked part.
