larger quantities of the protective material are used, especi- 

 ally in severe cases. 



Take as an example of this method of treatment, one given by Cornil 

 and Babes in their work on bacteria, that of a child severely bitten about 

 the face, which only came under treatment four days after it had been 

 bitten. 



On the 1st day it received injections of 2 grammes of emulsion, made up 

 of cords that had been exposed 13, 12, 11, and 10 days respectively. 



On the 2nd day 2 grammes ,, ,, 10, 9, 8, and 7 days

At Bucharest, where wolf bites are of frequent occurrence, the treatment 

 may last for more than a month, four and five injections being made on the 

 first few days, and as much as 12 or 13 grammes of the emulsion being 

 injected per diem ; the whole series of attenuations being gone through in 

 mixtures of three each in three days. Then the same process is gone 

 through with mixtures of two attenuations, and lastly, the emulsions from 

 single cords throughout the whole series are injected. For instance, on the 

 1st day there are injected 4 grammes of an emulsion, made from the cords 

 of 13, 12, and II days; then 4 grammes from the 12, II, and 10 days; 

 3 from the 11, 10, and 9 days ; then 2 from the 10, 9. and 8 days ; the last 

 injection on the 3rd day consisting of I gramme of the 3, 2, i days, or the 

 strongest virus ; then on the 4th day similar injections are made of the most 

 virulent vims ; on the 5th day 16 grammes of the weaker virus from the 

 I2th to 9th days are injected ; and on the 30th day 4 grammes of the strong 

 virus (2 days) are injected. This treatment is modified for special cases, 

 but this is an example of the treatment for very severe biles. 



Bujwid adopted a somewhat different process, he injected 2 grammes 

 daily of the mixture of 12 and 10 day cords on the first day ; 8 and 7 day 

 cords on the second day ; 6 and 5 cords on the third ; 4 and 3 on the
