pital. The facts in the second instance
were never obtained fully in detail, on
account Of the ignorance of the mans
relatives. Instances are appearing con-
stantly all over the country, and the nat
ural desire Of the afflicted family and
friends keeps them out Of print as the
only means of evading the impudence of
curious people.
The history of this terrible disease is
nothing but record of the vain but
gallant struggle of human intelligence
to discover its secret. 1t is as old, prob
ably, as man: Aristotle talks of its vir-
ulence among carnivorous animals, but
was of opinion that it could not, or at
least did not, attack the human species.
1t has always been q source of debate,
among both physical scientists and med
ical practitioners, as to whether the orr
gin of the disease is spontaneous among
the lower breeds or is distributed by in
Oculation. This much is universally ad-
mitted: That the poison is conveyable
through the saliva Of hydrophobis dogs,
cats, horses, cows, sheep, rabbits, oxen,
and man, and that, once in the blood tor
ture and death ensue. Experience has
demonstrated that even hens may become
hydrophobic from incubation with the
saliva of stock animals suffering from
rabies.
The chiefest danger lies in the deceptive
delay which may ensue between the in
Fiction of the bite and the development
of the earliest symptoms. In the dog,
this delay may he Of few days only, or
it may extend to weeks or even months.
The symptoms attack the horse more
uniformly within few weeks; but NO
rule has yet been formulated concerning
the period of incubation in the human
species. The only hope of escaping the
fatal consequences lies in the instant and
through excision of the wounded part,
and as this rarely can be done in time, or,
if in time, is tdone thoroughly enough,
the virus steals into the blood, and deties
science.
The popular notion that hydrophobia
is more likely to appear among animals
in the spring and during the hottest inter
walls of summer is pronounced by scien-
fists to be erroneous. The disease is
capable of development at any time, and
its undenisble increase seems to demand
that prudent measures be constantly in
operation to anticipate its outbreak
