Pasteur's Experiments with Hydrophobia.
Revue DIES Deux MondesI

~
(Revue des Deux MondesI
We come now to Pasteur's mora recant
works, works to which humanity will soon
owe, we may hope, the disappearance of the
most dreadful of contagious diseases, hydro
phobia. No culture of rapid virus from
without the organism has up to the present
time succeeded The mirobe which causes
this terrible evil appears to be developed
only in nervous matter, and its ravases are
manifest only when the disease is fixed in
the brain.
Pasteur satisfied himself upon this point
by inoculating, by trepanning, in the brain
Of dog a portion of the infected matter
from the brain of another dog which had
died of hydrophebia; the animal was taken
with the disease in less than eight days
This explains how the period of incubation
lasts sometimes so long; the virus is con
nected with the organism, but has not at
tackled the vital point It was also
an explanation of the fact, that in so many
cases statistics show fifty out of every hun
dred for dogs, and eighty out of every hun
dred for mem, hydrophobia communicated
by a bite is not manifested This rendered
possible researches which could not have
tiken place IL tue opeIdGuH htti not Deen sure
of communicating the rabid virus as his ex-
periments should demand, and of seeing the
malady manifest itself Immediately
The results actually obtained are the fol-
lowing; The culture within the organism of
a monkey diminishes the virulence of the
disease; the culture within the organism of a
rabbit increases it After numerous attempts
system of vaccination for dogs
has been adopted. A monkey is
inoculated by trepanning; he dies at the
end OF from eight to ten days. Small frag-
ments OF diseased brain are inserted in the
brain of a rabbit, and from this dogs are
vaccinated by inocculation under the skin
Pasteur actually possesses number. of dogs
which are absolutely proof against hydro
phobia, and which have resisted even inoc-
ulation in the brain.
