Reportor--Do you hoe any ronHon to uope thai

Doctor-Yes; thore is in tho experience Of Mr.
But1or's cnBo just tho gtoam Of hope. Driyon tt

Doctor-Exhaustion from suirocation. Tha
the disease Is not creature OF tho imagiuatio
IN apparent from Its deadly end. But when yo
have aeon cascs stated aa being cured, they baS
ai,nply not been hydroplobia, II drop Q
stomach, there is no hydrophobia. The watc
test is, 30 fur az my knowledge .gocs, IN Ut

uervois action, TO doubt, hut during tho pal

though tho otitlco WAS scaled up.
