fully Used in Pennsylvania.
The following is clipped from The
Country Gentleman and published by
request of a subscriber to The News:
THE time between the biting of an
animal by mad dog and showing
signs Of hydrophobia is not less than
mine days, but may be nine months
After the animal has become rabid
a bite or scratch with the teeth upon
n person, or saliva coming in con
tact with a sore or raw place, would
produce hydrophobia just as though
he had been bitten by a mad dog
Hydrophobia can be prevented and
the remedy below is said to be in
fallible if properly administered for
man or beast. A dose for a horse or
cow should be about four times as
great as for a person. 1t is not too
late to give medicine any time before
the spasms come on.
The first dose for a person is one
and a nalf ounces of elecamptne
root, bruised, put into pint Of new
milk, reduced to onc-half by boiling,
then taken all at one dose in the
morning, fasting until the afternoon,
or at least a very light diet after
several hours have elapsed The sec
ond dose same as first, except take
two ounces of the root; third dose
the same as last Three doses are
all that IS needed.

in use about Philadelphia for many
years.
