188 On the use oJAnagallts Arvensis, 



here supposed, by a great majority of the people, to be 

 infallibly successful. I know of no cases that have oc- 

 curred, since I have resided at Lebanon, in which the 

 symptoms of the madness were perceptible : but I 

 know of many where people and cattle had been bitten 

 by dogs, which were really mad, and which were cured 

 by Mr. Stoy's remedy. — I myself had a horse and a cow 

 bitten by a dog, which had bitten no less than twenty 

 in the town and neighbourhood. I applied to Dr. 

 Stoy, and used his remedy, and the horse and cow con- 

 tinued perfectly free from the disease. 



I have also been told, by persons residing here, that 

 Mr. Stoy had cured persons really mad, who had been 

 brought to Lebanon, tied by ropes, and held by strong 

 men, and who had the paroxysms of madness several 

 times. ' Mrs. Stoy possesses several certificates of such 

 cases. 



About the remedy itself I know so much, that Mr. 

 Stoy used the very same herb, which Mr. Kittering 

 (of our county) made known to our Senate, a few 

 years since : but, I believe, he also made use of several 

 other ingredients : at least, he said so. Mr. Kittering 

 used nothing but the herb, in a pulverized state; but 

 Mr. Stoy boiled it, and the other ingredients, in strong 

 beer.
