Cure for the Rite OF Mad Dogs.

We have had several opportunities to
fully test the chloride of zinc, In solution,
/ such cases, and, 80 far as we are aware,
we were the first to use this agent. Ii
may be said thas II the persons who has
been bitten by dogs and had been sub.
] ,cted TO its use did not have hydro
phobis, the dogs were not "mad" Under
circumstances II might be difficult to prove
tlis proposition, but we dc not propose to
enter into an argument upon the subject
but TO make plain statement of facts
In one case, whore three men were bitten
by the same dog, at the same time, we
subjected two to the use of the zinc. They
are both living at the present time. al.
though this occurred several wears since,
while the third man who was not treated
IN this way, died, of hydrophobia on the
fourteenth day. In another case a gen.
gentleman, as we'll as cow and horse,
were bitten at the same time by a rabid
dog. We treated the man with the zinc !;
he still livesl while the COW and horse
both died within fifteen days. We might
give many other cases illustrative of the
Efficacy of this treatment, but we consider
this sufficient. The method we employ is
as follows; Make a saturated solution of
chloride OF zinc, and as soon assspossible af.
tor the injury inject this into any or all the
wounds made by the teeth of the animal ;
let It be done with a small syringe and
with sufficient force to bring the solution
in contact with every portion of the
punctured or abraded tissue. This should
be repeated the second day, after which
apply the water dressing until all the
parts which have been subjected to the
zinc slough out. Then the wound should
be allowed to heal under the ordinary
dressing, which will be effected, if there has
not been much laceration of the parts, in
from ten to fifteen days As an internal
remedy we use the carbonate of ammonia
ten grains to the half pint of water, thi,
quantity to be taken daily for twenty DAYS
The longest time which had elapsed from
the time the person was bitten until the
above means were used was four hours
yet We are of the opinion that this would
antidote the poison even ten or fifteen
hours after the injury, for the reason tina,
the zinc In any form when brought IN
contact with an abraded tissue will ac
upon parts quite remote from the part In
jured, and will, If taken up by the ab
sorbents, antidote the poison which may
have permeated the whole system many
hours previous. Eclectic Medical Journd,
