WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.


That eminent scientist, M. Pastcur, whs
has made SO many important discoveries
during the past few years bearing upon the
health Of man, not alone in the domain OF
cause and effect but also in the very prac-
teal direction of furnishing remedies for
ailments considered incurble, has now
added to his laurels by discovering reme-
dy for hydrophobia, which has hitherto
been considered fatal when once it had OBJ
tanned foothold in the system. The fol-
lowing cable dispatch to the Chicago Trib-
wne, setting forth the details of his remedy
which is simply incubation for a prevent
i've. like vaccination to prevent smallpox
and giving the details of the method he
employed in his experiments with dogs.

But my discovery does not end here. I took

two dogs thus inoculated alone and hs went mad

second dog to my treatment, giving him the
three rabbit inoculations. beginning with the
weakest and ending with the strongest. The
second dog was completely cured. or rather be-
came completely insusceptible TO hydrophobia
NJ Pastcur then went to kennel and caressed

Said N. Passeur: whoever gets bitten by a
mad dog has only to submit TO my three little
inoculstions and he need not have the slightest
fear Of hydrophobia
