HydrOphobia-Its Successful
Treatment.
Mr.. Ruxton, surgeon in the East
Indies, reports very remarkable case,
which seems worthy of being classed
with the small number of cures that
are now on record.
A boy, between five and six years of
age, was bitten in 1874, by bull-bitch
that was subsequently killed. The
bites were deep and severe, but were
freely cauterized with fuming nitric ac-
id, causing considerable loss of tissue.
Carbolized oil was subsequently, em-
ployed as dressing. A month later
he became unconscious, refused to
drink, and was exceedingly nervous.
Mr.. K. finding him with saliva issuing
from the mouth, suspected the worst,
but ordered as a temporary measure,
the tepid sheet, and diaphoretic mix
ture. Tranquil sleep and diaphoresis
followed, but about one in the morning
the patient awoke screaming, had fire.
quent convulsions, refused liquids, and
loaned at the mouth. Thinking that
as palliative, cannabis indica might
he usefully employed, five MINIMs of
the tincture were given, and short
sleep followed. This dose wss repeat
ed after an interval marked by scream
ing fits and saliva spit from between
the teeth. Deep sleep, lasting ten
hours, now ensued. On awaking he
recognized his mother-the first time
for twenty-seven hours His pupils
were now intensely contracted. A
third dose of five minims was given on
the evening of the second day of medi-
cal attendance, and sleep ensued for
eighteen hours. Pulse and respiration
remained good all the time. From
this point the progress toward recov-
cry was steady and continuous.
DR.. Ewart, formerly deputy surgeon
general in the Bengal army, in the
same number of the British Medical
Journae (November 10, 1881, states
that little confidence can be placed in
drugs after the symptoms have develop
ed. He advocates cauterization as
prophylactic and as practiced success
fully by Youatt in four hundred cases
and he quotes Sir William Gull, who
states: "If | had to choose for myself,
| would inhale ether and have the
whole track of the wound destroyed by
strong nitric acid or nitrate of silver"
But Ewart places himself on the side
of Sir Joseph Fahrer. who says: eff l
were bitten by dog or other animal,
euen suspected of rabies, l would suck
the wound, put in ligature, inhale
ether and have the bitten
part thoroughly cut out, and then
cauterlzed with nitric acid or nitrate of
silver, so as completely to dlsorganize
any virus there might remain. Ex-
cision, he remarked, may be practiced
successfully after the wounds are
thoroughly cicatrized.
The retention of any waste matter
in the system produces injury. The
collection of "phlegm" or diseased
mucus in time of cold or throat affec-
tion should be removed. Dr. Bulls
Cough Syrup does it more qickly and
effectually than any other cough syrup
made

Between the ages Of fifteen and fifty,
woman has one more inspiration per
minute than a man. So say the scien-
tifc sharps, and we have no reason to
disbelieve them. No man ever had
an inspiration to buy fourteen yards
of Hamburg edging just because it
was cheap and that's just the 'inspi-
ration that possesses a woman's soul
every minute she is in a dry goods
store.
Some New Hampshire people who
are bewailing the loss of money loanedto

The State of Texas has contracted
to give an Illinois firm tract of land,
for building the new State capital at
Austin. The territory sold is larger
than the State of Connecticut, and five
times larger than Rhode Island. 1t is
the northwest corner of the State. The
survey extends south distance of 1877
miles, with an average width oftwenty-
seven miles. This is probably the lar
gest land sale ever made to private
individuals
