 LADONNA and the SPECIFIC for CONVULSIONS may

If a dog is suspected or has been bitten, or ex- 

 posed to contagion, give him the SPECIFIC for CON- 

 VULSIONS, A A, three or four drops, according to

 the same medicine into the wound at the same time. 

 Only a small proportion of the animals or persons 

 bitten by animals supposed to be rabid ever beccme 

 mad.
