New YORK July lS-'Ihe Investigations
by distinguished physicians who have served
upon the coroner'> jury, il the case of VIM.
Mccormick, who died Of hydrophoba, June
20 were brought to an end early this morning.
They fad that Mccormick came to his death
FROM hydroph"bia They regard hyarophobia
as disease communicated ouly by innoculation
with specific virus and not capable of transmits
sion from "A nGn-rabld animal. The vote on
tins last clause. however, was not unanimous,
three physicians voting 10 the negative, on the
ground that The question involved was not de-
fnitely determined as a measure of prevention.
They rec mulcnd that person bitten by any
dog or other ANIMAL stall at once, ii the wound
is received in part where it is proper to prac-
tice excelsior of the wounded part, be subject to
excelsior, in thorough ma1uar, and that the
wound be allowed to bleed for few min
utes in basin of warm wat'r, aud finally that
the ,unl be caulorz d with nitrate Of silver,
ritrlc acid, cauStc. potas>ia, hot iron,
or burning coal. In case u surgeon cannot be
found to practice excisioo, the patient should an
ply cord above the wound and then suck the
part provided he has 10 excavations in his mouth
aud at the first opportunity apply one Of the
caustics above mentioned. AT any period prior
to the development of the disease, it will be
proper to excise, cicatrix and cautcrizc.
