934 DISEASES AND THEIR TREATMENT. 



wound is healed. Observe that before dressing, the wound must 

 be washed clean with the decoction. After having made use of 

 the medicine, the person must put on clean linen, and change his 

 clothes and bedding, and it must not be worn until perfectly clean. 

 All straw that a beast has lain on must be burnt, and the stable 

 cleansed." 



"In 1862, I bought the same recipe as the above from John 

 Emory Esq., residing near Baden Co., Waterloo, Ont., Canada, 

 with conditions of secrecy until Mr. Emory himself should publish 

 it. But finding that Prof. Magner has the same recipe, and is 

 about to publish it for the benefit of the public, I feel myself re- 

 lieved from the obligation of secrecy, and for the benefit of any 

 who may need the medicine, I cheerfully add my testimony to its 

 efficacy. I have given it both to persons and animals that had 

 been bitten by rabid dogs with unfailing success, and Mr. Emory 

 has been noted for many years in the central counties of Ontario 

 for his success in curing those who had been bitten. I also met a 

 regular physician in Reading, Besks Co., Penn., who had the same 

 recipe. He prized it highly, and kept it as a secret. The public 

 may rely upon it with perfect confidence as a remedy for the bite 

 of any rabid animal. If the recipe could not be otherwise obtained, 

 I consider it well worth $500,00. ALEXANDER WARREN,

The following, for the cure of hydrophobia, which has been 

 published in the Country Gentleman, seems so good that I give it 

 a place : 



" I can give some facts which may be of use to somebody, 

 thereby saving life. The time between the biting of an animal by 

 a mad dog, and showing signs of hydrophobia is not less than 

 nine days, but may be nine months. After the animal has become 

 rabid, a bite or scratch with the teeth upon a person, or slobber 

 coming in contact with a sore or raw place, would produce hydro- 

 phobia as soon as if he had been bitten by a mad dog. Hydropho- 

 bia can be prevented, and I will give what is known to be an 

 infallible remedy, if promptly administered, for man and beast. A 

 dose for a horse or cow should be about four times as great as for 

 a person. It is not too late to give medicine any time before the 

 spasms come on. 



" The first dose for a person is 1J ounces of elecampane root, 

 bruised, put in a pint of new milk, reduced to one-half by boiling, 

 then taking all at one dose in the morning, fasting until afternoon, 

 or at least a very light diet after several hours have elapsed. The 

 second dose same as first, except take two ounces of the root; third 

 dose the same as last; to be taken every other day. Three doses 

 are all that is needed, and there need be no fear. This, 1 know
