never in any Of these cases failed to ward
off hydrophobia. lIc gives some startling
examples: During the Crimean war, a TAM
liy OF twelve persons had been bitten by
hydrophobic wolf Six of them entered his
wards in the hospital of Olschanka, govern.
ment of Podo!ia. district of Balta. They
were treated with infusion of the leaves of
Aanthium, and all recovered The six 9th.
ers, who were treated by the actual cautery
and the daily use of Genista tinctoria and
other drugs, died with hydrophobia in the
course Of twelve to sixty days. He reconnts
many other facts not less striking. For an
adult, the dose is sixty centigrann,es of the
dry powder, repeated three times day, and
continued during six weeks. Children under
twelve take half that quantity. The dose
for animals is much larger. a herd of thr.
ty oxen had been bitten by mad wolf !;
eight had succumbed with symptoms of hy-
drophobia. The commissary of police came
to DIR. Grzyvala for his "antirabic powder"
lie gave three ounces of the powder, with
bran, daily, to each Of the animals none of
them suffered from the disease These are
examples Of which, DR.. Grzyvala says, ne
has hundred others. Fiat e1perin,en tup,.
We have heard too often of specifics for
hydrophobia not to regard this last c!aima mt
with sorrowful suspicion. But the herb is,
at least, u harmless one; its ordinary prop.

since animals suffering from rabies are only
too frequently at hand, and the romedy is
one which grows pientifully in the middle

hope that our French colleagues will lose no
time in putting this prophy ylcatic to tho test
and perhaps the professors in our own vet

the hopes which this positive and detailed
statement is calculated to excite.

Mock DUEL IN CLAnENDoN.-One evening
last week our community was startled by the
intelligence that duel had been fought within
the very limits Of the town. Ulon inquiry il

challenge to the other for mortal combat. The
challenge was accepted these two young gen.
tlemen managing to insinuatc themselves in the
position of seconds. All preliminaries having
been arranged, the balls were extracted from
some pistol cartridges and blackened cork SUBJ
stituted; with these the pistols were loaded
The appointed time brought oil parties on the
field Of combat. At the word "fre," one pistol
went off, doing damage Of course; Mr..
Flowers's snapped. After some consultation the
seconds decided that Nr. +. should have o Sec

'hhove his head, with the mag guanmity of truly
brave man, Ind with the words "here goes'
again snapped his pistol. The question was
then put to each, care you satisfied 2" This
having been answered in the affirmative, one of
the seconds gave the somewhat arbitrary order:
"Advance half way and shake hands" Impli-
cit obedience was rendered. The whole affair
was extremely farcical. Mr.. Alsbrooks knew it
was only a joke, but Mr.. Flowers did not sus.
pect the fact. Upon returning to town the
whole party was badly frightened by o report
