MISREPRESENTATION to Treat 1t
Successfully

correspondence of the Detroit Tribune
gives an account OF the treatment pur-
sued in the recent case Of hydrophObia
ut Flint, Michigan. The subject Of 50
much discussion, Mr.. Bilt True, was bit
ten by rahid dog last May. The dog
had bitten him i'll the centre of the right
hand. Being in the country at the time,
it was some twelve hours before he
reached Il surgeon, who CAuterized the
wound with nitrate OF silver. The wound
healed and remained so until it became
irritable and broke out again. Soon the
first marked symptoms Of hydrOphObia
showed themselves, commissions, bark
ing Ikea dog, frOthinga hemOuth, and
making strenuous eXcrtiOnst to bite every
thing that came near. During the CON
lows from his bed i'll his teeth, and rend
them with all the ferocity of an angry
dog.
An immense dread of water also eX-
hibited itself, the sight threw him into
the most terrible commissions, at these
times requiring the united strength of
five men to keep him under subsection
i'll fact, every symptom of hydrOphObia
made itself conspicuous. The patient
was attacked on Friday evening, Janu-
ary 10. On Saturday evening his phySi-
clan, Dr.. AFFORD reached him, and at
once was convinced of the terrible ma
ture of the disease.
Having had il case similar seven Ol
eight years since, where the patient re-
covered under his treatment, and has re-
manned well ever since, after consulting
| the physician present, Dr.. Mccall, itWAs
decided to place the patient under the
same treatment which had been success.
full in this former case, which for the aiC
it may be to others who suffer from this
disease, we here give as follows: The
injection under the skin of large dose
Of morphine, and the administration OF
large doses of castor, which is Il pow.
erful anti-Spasmodic. About one grail
of the sulphate of morphine was injected
| half a drachm of the powdered castor
mixed with syrup, given internally.
The effect was to produce sleep il
about an hour and half, when the con
vulsiOns retu1neda at intervals Of an hOu
to an hour and half until nine O'clOcl
on Sunday morning, when the last con
VulsiOn occurred, after which he suffered
severely from obstinate vomiting unit
Monday at 10 o'clock, when that alst
ceased, leaving the patient comparative
ly easy, but very much DrOstrated. Sine,
that time he has gradually improved
and now is, to all appearance, quite well
In addition to the above treatment, smal
quantities of chlOrof0rm were inhaled
ut times, and on Sunday morning tn,
patient was wrapped in a WoOlen blanke
Wrung OutOf warm solution of the MI
riate of ammonia. This was the treat
mcnt which checked this fearful malady
and which Dr.. AFFORD, for the sake 0
humanity, is anxious it should he pub

Small-POX-A Remedy.

The following smallpox remedy
was given to the public by cor
respondent of the Stockton (Cal. J
Herald, who says:
81 herewith append recipe
which has been used to my knowl-
edge in hundreds of cases. 1t will
prevent or cure smallpox, though
the pittings are filling. When Jen-
ner discovered cow-pox in England,
the world of science hurled an ava
lanche of fame upon his head, but
when the most scientific schools OF
medicine in the world-that of Paris
published this recipe as panacea
for smallpox it passed unheeded
l. is as unfailing as fate, and con-
ouers in every instance. 1t is harm
less when taken by well person.
It will also cure scarlet fever. Hero
is the recipe as l have used it to
cure my children Of scarlet fever
here it is as l have used it to cure
the smallpox. When learned
said the patient must
die, it cured: Sulphate of zinc, one
grain foxglove (digatittis), ono
grain half teaspoonful Of sugar
mix with two tablespoonfuls OF
water. When thoroughly mixed,
add four ounces of water. Take o
spoonful every hour. Either dis
ease will disappear in twelve hours.
For child, smaller doses according
to their ,age. If counties would
compel physicians to use this, there
would be no need of pest-houses. Ii
You value advice and experience, use
this for that terrible disease"

CurIOsitles OF Animal Life.

"There cna be no doubt, writes
Mr.. Darwin, "that dogs feel shame
as distinct from fear, and
something very like modesty, when
begging too often for food. A
great dog scorns the snarling of a
little dog, and this may be called
magnanimity. Several observ-
ers have stated that monkeys GER
tainly dislIked being laughed at,
and they sometimes invent imagi-
nary offences. In the Geological
Gardens | saw u baboon that al
ways got into furious rage when
its keeper took out a letter or book
and read it aloud to him, and his
rage was so violent that, as | wit
messed on one occasion, he bit his
own leg until the blood flowed. "
All animals feel wonder, and many
exhibit curiosity, the latter quality
affording opportunity for hunters,
in many parts Of the world, to decoy
the game into their power. The
faculty of imitation, so strongly de-
veloped in man, especially in a
barbarous state, is present in mon
keys. A certain bull terrier OF our
acquaintance when he wishes to so
out of the room, jumps at the han
die of the door and grasps it with
his paws, although be cannot him
self turn the handle. Parrots also
reproduce with wonderful fidelity
the tones Of different speakers, and
puppies reared by cats have been
known to lick their feet and wash
their faces after the manner Of their
foster-mothers. Attention and mem
ory also are present in the lower an
imals, and it is impossible to deny
that the dreams Of dogs and horses

BLANKET FOR HORSE. this
season of the year, when we have
many cold, windy days, horses, when
left standing in our streets for any
length of time, should have some
sort of covering thrown over them
to keep them warm and comfortable
and prevent them from becoming
chilled. Careful drivers will always
do this, and in passing through our
streets it is very gratifying to notice
so many horses kindly cared for in
this respect, indicating the pleasant
sympathy and interest Of the owner
in the welfare of his beast. There
are those, however, who possess SO
little sympathy and care for their
animals that they never think OF
protecting them against cold, even
when sweaty from hard driving or
overwork. Such people ought Dever
to have the charge of a horse; but
as this cannot always be regulated
they should be compelled in some
way to take proper care OF them

A victory Gained over Pass ion.

The following anecdote, extracted
from unpublished memoirs of a
French nobleman, may, it is hoped,
serve as an example, Well worthy of
being initiated by all who desire to
be thought truly brave and cour-
ageous. 1t records an instance of
a victory gained by a man over his
own passions--victory more glori-
GUS, more honorable than any that
has ever been purchased with fire
and sword, with devastation and
bloodshed
Two noblcmen, the Marquis de
Valaise and the Count de Meric,
were educated under the same mas
ters, and were regarded by all who
knew them as patterns of friend
ship, honor, and sensibility. Years
succeeded years, and no quarrel had
disgraced their attachment, when
one unfortunate evening the two
friends, having INDUCED freely in
some excellent Burgundy, repaired
to u neighboring hotel and engaged
in a game of backgammon. For
tame declared herself i'll favor of the
Marquis; he won every game, and
in the thoughtless glce of the mo-
ment he laughed with exultation at
his unusual good luck. The Count
lost his temper, and once or twice
upbraided the Marquis for enjoying
the pain which he had excited in
the bosom of his friend. At last
upon another fortunate throw
made by the Marquis, by which he
gammoncd his antagonist, the in
furiated Count threw the box anC
dice in the face Of his brother sol
der.
Every gentleman present was il
