ut is real calamity" said Nine. de
Lepreneuse, the mother, ito have this
mad dog run at large. No one dares go

Last evening again." added her
daughter, she bit two children coming
from school. The despair of their par
ents is indescribable.
''How frightful! Is there no means of
making the bite harmless, doctora"
asked Nine. de Lepreneuse, addressing a
young man of 80 years.
"There is first the cauterization with a
hot iron" replied the doctor.
THAT is horrible" exclaimed Mile. de
Lepreneuse; there ought to be another
way"
When the region permits it." contin-
ued the doctor, lone can apply ligature
above the bite, wash the wound, and burn
it with caustic liquid. Whatever the
process, it should be quick, before it is
too late. All inoculated liquid penetrates
with great rapidity in the blood. Sew

inconvenience, does it not?n asks Karl
Marienzi, one of the guests of the
chateau.
Very serious" replied the doctor.
Tell us about it, nevertheless" said
Karl.
ut is suction" replied the doctor.
Zone must concentrate oneself and suck
the wound at once. This operation pre-
sents great danger. The operator is al
most certain of being inoculated with the
virus, the lips being the chosen spot
The delicacy of the mucns which covers
them facilitates absorption. This way
relying upon devotion, is little en-
ployed."
'You do not believe in devotion, doc
tori" asked Nine. de Lepreneuse.
II did not say that, mademoiselle. I
believe it is prudent not to count on it
too much"
Il am of your opinion added Nine.
de Lepreneuse.
