 the male was attacked under fix months old, 

 in every refpe(fl as all trie others that had been 

 fubjedts of my obfervation, and with fo much 

 continued feverity, and increafing violence of 

 fymptoms, that I did not entertain either ex- 

 pedlation or idea of its recovery. The fam.e 

 plan of operation was purfued as with all the 

 reft, varying the proportions only to age, fize, 

 ^nd ftrength (by reducing the compofition of 

 the ball to two grains of emetic tartar, and 

 eight of jalap, and the glyfters tQ half the 

 quantity given to larger dogs), till his recovery- 

 was afcertained to a certainty, and he is now 

 in my polTeffiion, with the female, that has 

 never been at all attacked, at leaft to become 

 perceptible. This was t\iQ Jifth fuccefsful trial 

 upon animals under my own infpedlion, and 

 not to be controverted by the pique or preju- 

 dice of thofe who may conceive the matter too 

 trifling for the prefs, or the fpecies too infigni- 

 iicarit for the procefs.
