Cases of this terrible and usual
fatal disease 81 often meet the eye il
the public papers, that have at time
for years felt desire to offer Tor tn
benefit Of mankind plan Of treatmsn
which | believe to be founded upol
true medical philosophy, and now il
my SSth year desire to present to tn
vol that which by it, adoption shall
prove a rich blessing to humanity, AM
the Acknowledgements b- no longe
made that there is no cure for the aw
full sutierings caused by III. bite 0
rabid animals.
The chief remedy tor this dreaded
mslsdy Is Lob.lia IDhata, which stand.
unrivaled in power and safety as al
antispasnodic and counter poison. Th.
saturated tincture Chat is, a. strong
as can be male, Of the powdered leaves
and pods, or an infusion made by pour.
ing half apint of quite hot water on
about an ounce OF the powd-r-steep
70 minutes, strain and sweeten. OF
this or the tinctur-, give to Al adult
one tablespoonful every 20 minutes,
until the desired has been produced.
IL from any cause the patient Is unable
to swallow, give by enema, on. table
spoonful mixed in halfa pint Of warm
water, to BE- retained until the first
vomiting, when It should In. disch argsd
but If II should pass from the bowels
directly after baing given, il will ts
necessary to repeat it. Its effects should
be vomiting, aud cessation OF spasms.
Bear In mind that n overcom. the
rabid symptoms IL the object point, and
when that is reached, give only q tea
spoonful at intervals Of several hours,
to prevent a relapse. but not 80 a. to
continue the vomiting. II IL n-c.,ssary
while passing through this process that
the patient be furnished with plenty of
hot stimulating teas to aid vomiting,
and with the adjunct Of hot substancrs
the body and feet III as u
produces copious and continued p.rspi
'ation there Is much OF the deadly virus
circulating in th. blood discharged
through the pores.
II a relapse should take place, r. peat
,he course. SO much for the treatment
II the disease after it is developed. III
se accept az a truth the trit. maxim
that prevention is better than cure"
" that which will cure a disease, will
Ilso prevent II, then we can sre til.
primary importance of pursuing an ac-
i've course Of preventive measures.
After being bitten, the part as soon
N possible should be well washed with |
trong soapsuds and compress Of mus
in three or four layers thick bound on
he wound and kept wet with tho tine
ure or tea OF Lob.lia, and for the adult
'atient a teaspoonfull or more OF this
Medicine should be taken night and
morning, AZ the stomach can bear it
nth too much nausea, in warm sw. Ut.
ned water and continue for tn days. !
Ihima's can be treated in tn. same
manner when necessary. Lobclia grows
n almost every farm in this section of
he country, and should be gathered
very year, while in bloom, 80 ~ to
ave 1t on hand when required. 1t is
