DIR. Woods believes hydrophobia to be a
mimetic disease caused by expectant dread.
In Italy peasants used to fear dire conse-
quences from the bite of the tarantula; and
fell, when bitten, to dancing with "deliri-
GUS grotesquerie." Now when they have
ceased to think much of the tarantula they
are bitten again and again with impunity.
AS for Pasteur's method of cure and its
general effects, grave doubts are expressed.
And certainly it is curious thing to dis
cover that since it has been SO widely dis
cussed hydrophobia has increased. The
year after Pasteur practised his preventive,
for instance, the deaths from hydrophobia
in Paris leaped at once from four to twenty
four. Fifteen hundred persons were reported
cured by this scientist. In this number
were included, in 1898, fourteen hundred
Frenchmen-morep persons, in other words,
than have died OF it in a century in the
United States.
Hydrophobia, disease contracted from
the rabies of animals, does, however, exist.
That it is rare has been proved. But the
most efficacious remedy for it when it does
appear may be found in frequent vapor
baths-seven will do the work-the perspi-
ration excited carrying off the poison in the
system.
Those of us who are timid, who fear to
see our children play with dogs In Summer,
will do well to learn to distinguish certain
symptoms of rabies. A mad dog, for
instance, does not,as is popularity supposed,
dread water. He is, on the contrary, apt to
try and plunge all his head to his eyes in
it. He does not froth at the mouth. eff
a dogs mouth is covered with white froth,
that dog is not mad" A thick, brown,
ropy substance cllngs to the mad dogs
mouth. The mad dog, again, never runs
about in agitation; if dog barks, yelps,
whines or growls, he is not mad.
An immense amount of suffering, and of
cruilty as well, will be saved for those of us
this Summer who bear in mind these hints

where be was at work. His weight drop

came mere shadow. He said his sensa-
ton was as if something was crawling in
side of him. He was treated in the
German hospital, but was not benefited.
On Monday last Cunningham went under
treatment at the hands of Ransom Stowell,
who is not a graduate practitioner, but q
herb doctor" and since then he has been
at Stowell's house. Friday afternoon Cum
ningham felt something give way
He Immediately reported the fact to
Stowell, who administered an emetic, and
the result included Is yards of tape worm

The toads were less than half inch in

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.


All the members were present at the
stated meeting of City Council on Tuesday
evening last.
There was large attendance of citizens
drawn thither, no doubt, by interest in the
saloon license ordinance, and the ex-Treas-
urer Reading financial matter.
The minutes of the last meeting were
read and approved as read.
Mr.. Best, of the Finance committee, pre-
sented a written report, accompanied by
the following letter -
WOODBURY., n j., July 90, '97.
Jos. B. Best, Chairman Finance committee
Of the Council Of the City Of Woodbury..
DEAR SIR In accordance with notice
from the City Clerk, send you my check
for fifteen hundred and thirteen dollars
and sixteen cents, ($151316).
/ notice in the report OF your expert"
that no mention is made of the School Fund
which to the amount of about $75, 900 passed
through my hands. As you know these
accounts were audited by him and found
to be correct, and am surely asking no
more than common justice when / ask that
this fact should be as publicly stated as are
the errors in the complicated city fund
account. Very truly yours,
GEORGE EVANS READING.
The Finance Committees written state
ment was to the effect that the bondsmen
of Geo. w. Smith, deceased collector OF
delinquent taxes, acknowledge an in
debtedness by him of $S33S. but are of the
opinion that the balance of the $153 AZ was
not received by him. A check for the
balance, made payable to Smith and en-
dorsed by him, was not evidence that the
amount was paid for taxes, because the
party had much business with Mr.. Smith
who was a Justice of the Peace Further,
the payment was made after Mr.. Smiths
successor was elected.
The Committee was authorized to settle
with the bondsmen for the amount &C.
knowledged by them.
