il There Such Disease .s uydrophobia


Tho belief seems 10 be growing among
scientists that there is, after ALL no such
disease as hydrophobia. This strikes deep
at the root OF "A long established and ven
erable opinion, and will no doubt be re-
ceived with great deal of opposition, but
there il 80 much to be said on tho subject
and so many experiments have been made
that one is inclined TO suspend Judgment

An incident is related where man was
often upon tho side Of his face by q pet
dog lic applied to the hospital for treat.
ment, and was found to be extremely
nervous. The dog was carefully examined
and pronounced by the veterinary to DO in
perfect health. Some experiments by I'm.
oculation were tAed on rabbits without
any unpleasant results. Again and again
were tho rabbits inoculatc&, and they re.
mained TO all appearance as well as ever.
But the man became more and more ncrv-
ous and frightened. and finally died, oi
what disease the attendants In tho hospi-
tel found it very difficult TO determine, al.
though the death certificate was issued for
hydrophobla.
some eminent medical men declare that

the idea that these Is such thing as by

terror which takes possession of the pa.

more or less than fright and nervous con-
yulsions. OF course such a statement
leaves wide margin for discussion and
