IiYDRor HonIA is regarded by physicians al
most without exception We believe. to be in
curable. and no remedy has yet been discov-
cred that affords much. If any. relief to the
sufferer from the disease. Ii IL consequently

This angel Of mercy is nitriie of amyl, which
the sufferer must inhale. Dr. Forbes pub
fishes full notes of two cases that have come
under his treatment One WIS That of u
young lady. who Was bitten by rabid dog
last November The wound. which was
slight, quickly healed, but n few days after
ward she exhibited unmistakable signs of
hydrophobiI. She had choking sensations
was unable to swallow fluids, and suffered
from spasms. The ordinary remedies used
in such cases failed to furnish any relief But
n few drop, OF nitrlte of amyl were given the
patient by inhalation and the spasms sub
sided She was able To swallow glass OF
water, and snon i,ll into an easy slumbor

ana the noise ni inc ram thftW ntT INTO con-
yulslons during which she died.
The other case was that OF bar tender
who was bitten on the finger 10y terrier last
New Years day. The bite healed quickly.
but about four weeks ago the finger became
inilamcd, and signs of hydrophobia develop
ed. His respiration became quick, and he
WAS unable To- swallow glass of milk which
was brought {" him Twenty five drops Of
nitrte of amyl were given him on 4 towel !;
and 10y the time the evaporation had taken
place the man was calm. and he asked,
What is II yon have been giving me- Ii
is running all around in my head" His
pulse became natural aud respiration en-y.
lie was then able to drink milk, the
sight of which had almost thrown him into
commissions. lilo subsequently drank a glass
of water without any difficulty. Toward
ward morning II second application of the
nmyl had similar effect, but late in tho af-
ternoou Of that day the patient died in con
vulsions before the amyl could he again ad-
minist,Icd to him. These two cases do not
show that nmyl can cure hydrophobia. for
tins point does not seem to have been thor
oughly tested. but il looks as if the faithful
use of this remedy would rob the disease of
its worst terrors We shall wait with interest
to see whether DR.. Forbess discovery shall
be found OF the value which he evidently at
taches to Troy Times.
