Every American should know some

cauterlzation is useless.
The Pasteur treatment prevents the
development Of the disease II the bit
ten party takes the treatment at once;
otherwise the result is doubtful.
Once the disease develops the doctor
can only make its progress easier.
Death is inevitable.
II Is not necessary to be bitten by n
mad dog to have the disease. II any
person has a scratch on the skin and
comes in contact with the saliva Of the
poisoned animal he or she can be in.

person is bitten; and there have been
cases where six months have elapsed

animal will give the rabies even though

TUE BEAUTY AND VIRTUE OF LAURA

Say from what part Of heaven twas nature drew,
From what idea that perfect mold
To form such features, bidding us behold,
In charms below, what she above could do?
What fountain nymph what dryad maid threw
Upon this wind such tresses, of pure gold?
What heart such numerous virtues can unfold?
Although the chefest all my fond hopes slew.
He for celestial charms may look in vain
Who has not seen my fair ones radiant eyes,
And felt their gances pleasingly begue
How Love can heal his wounds then wound again.
He only knows how sweet her sghs,
How sweet her converse, and how her smile.
