! gerry, who stands prominent
in our allOpathic school. And in
his treatise on the bite of Oul
rattleSnake, he recommends the
Calcutta experiment, per cent
solution of cobra poison, admins
tered as the antidote, whose
poison is said to be more
fatal than the rattlers. That was
in conformity with NJ. Pastuer
who proves that the poison from
the rabid dog, transmitted through
the rabbit, and injected into the
human, is the only cure for hydro
phObia. And how many regular
physicians have sent patients to
him for cure, and the demonstration
puts into practice, with the results
in a cure, that which they posi-
lively deny, and want to SANDER
Ously brand as quack and ir-
regular. Men who are liberal
enough to investigate,and | should
not be astonished if at some day,
we have hydrophobic points as
common as vaccine points today,
and men will be just as ready to
bare their arms to the power of
protection. Job says man is an
inspired and that the breath of the
Almighty is in him, and if it is
shown out through the illustriOus
Jenner, and still Frightening the
world by such men as NJ. PaStuer,
Edison ETC., are we not all bene-
ficieraries? Never 90 back on
mother says one. Oh, no we will
always love mother, but fOrsOOth,
because she did not have electric
lights in her day, should we refuse
them now. Let us draft upon our
retlectiVeS and exercise the faculty
of selectives, for a graduate of one
school of medicine is virtually a
graduate of them all, for he holds
the key to investigate, and the
brother physician who condemns
such has more bitter, mean spirit
than a man of wisdom should have.
For my part, am like the story of
the Irishman, when he fell into a
prOtracted meeting and became
convicted. He began to. call upon
the saints for help, and alike called
upon "HOwly st. Patrick" allow
ly st. Peter" and then all the
saints in glory. The minister
heard him and said, "Call upon the
Lord" "Faith and your Riverance,
said Pat, in strait like this Pll
call upon anybody" Now in our
missions between life and death,
let us call upon anybody for help
and be thankful for the help af-
fOrded, and be the best doctors we
know how to be, or can learn how
to be, in this age of medical adj
Vancement. All intelligent people
want to know now, is a doctor a
graduate of medicine, and the one
who call his neighbOr quack to
the injury of himself and family.
Just ask if the doctor so Slandered
is not a graduate of medicine, and
if he says he is, you may know
how to eStima te a man who is try
ing to do such a neighbor and fam
lily an injury for such is SANDER
and should be a criminal Offense.
