France and England where his protected animals have 

 mostly gone. 



Galtier found that in rabbits and sheep protection M'itli- 

 out visible disease was secured by injecting the rabid saliva 

 into the veins without contact with the tissues. 



Fernandez shows, from extensive statistics and numerous 

 experiments that dogs bitten by vipers are proof against 

 rabies. 



I have had the following results with rabid brain matter, 

 sterilized and diffused in water : English terrier had three 

 injections of twenty drops each on successive days, then in- 

 oculated with virulent matter on the brain ; proved fatal, 

 but death delayed till the twenty-fifth day instead of the 

 sixteenth. Two rabbits had three hypodermic injections of 

 one drachm each on successive days ; afterward inoculated 

 with virulent brain matter, but resisted for nine months. 

 One rabbit after four injections of one drachm each of steril- 

 ized rabid brain matter, inoculated with fresh rabid brain 

 matter, but survived nine months. Three control rabbits 

 inoculated with fresh rabid brain matter, one on the brain, 

 and two hypodermatically, all died of paralytic rabies, the 

 first on the sixteenth day, the second on the seventy-second, 

 and the third on the one hundred and eightieth day. In- 

 oculation of any kind, however, which demands the propa- 

 gation of the germ is not to be commended. 



BACILLAK ANTHEAX. 



A contagious disorder, prevailing in rich, damp localities, 

 in herbivora and swine, and communicable by inoculation 

 to other animals and to man. It shows itself in many dif- 

 ferent forms, all characterized by extreme changes in the 

 chemical and vital properties of the blood, breaking down 

 of the blood-globules, extravasations of blood or albuminous 

 fluids in different parts of the body, with a tendency to
