The pasteur treatment Of Rabie..

Nothing succeeds like success, and therar
peutic methods will always be judged by
the proportion of well authenticated cures
over well authenticated failures. In France
and Italy especially, says The Lancet, the
Pasteur treatment Of rabies is steadily
gaining ground, mainly on the strength of
statistics which, leaving controversy on one
side, present to the world an unusually In
creasing ratio Of successful cases"
During 1892, according to the annals Of
the Pasteur institute, 1,793 patients were
treated for bites inflicted by rabid animals.
OF these died, giving a mortality of O.S9
per cent. But IL we wish to judge of the
real efficacy of the antirabic inoculations
we must admit into the percentage only
those of the fatal cases In which the first
symptoms of rabies manifested themselves
more than 10 days after the last inocula-
tion. Now, OF the persons who died In
1892, 3 only were seized with rabies In less
than Is days after the end of the treatment.
The definite results are consequently the
following:
Persons cured. l,ID
Bcaths......s.s ..............'.............
Mortality per cent nt...................".... OF
This last figure is the lowest hitherto OBJ
tained.

WASHINGTON, Aug 2s.-It Is stated at

ERYSIPELAs OF THE FACE.
Recent Antiseptic Methods For the Cure
Of This Distressing Disease.

Recent Antiseptfc MetEous FOR the Curo
Of This Distressing Disease.
A recent medical article in the European
edition of the New York Herald gives some
interesting hints respecting the antiseptic
methods Of treating erysipelas. The dis
ease is undoubtedly infectious, and persons
attending erysipelas patients should bepro
tected against all danger of contagion. The
treatment recommended is that suggested
by M. Petrini, a physician of Galatz. He
begins with disinfecting the intestinal tube
by the following purgative formula:
Calomel. .......................... O.O centig.
Scammony............. O.4u cent1g.
Mixed and divided into two waters, they are
taken In the morning, half an hour apart,
on an empty stomach. At the same time
he employs local treatment by a solution
of sublimate in collodion according to the
following formula:
Corrosive sublimate.. .,............ 0.10 centig.
Collodion and castor OIL. 0.60 gm.
The latter preparation is applied twice
daily for three or four days to the diseased
surface. taking care to lay on the collodion
thickly over the border of the swelling and
the adjacent healthy surface. On the sec
ond day, and until the fever disappears and
the redness dies out, the antiseptic treat
ment Is followed up by the following pills,
two ofwhich are taken every other hour,
sulphate of quinine. ..................... 2gms.
