RABIES 



guinea-pig inoculated in the eye 26th May was 

 seized with rabies 10th September. 



6. Suzanne Richard, 8. Bitten 12th June on 

 the left leg by a dog, found on dissection to have 

 been rabid by M. Touret, veterinary surgeon at 

 Sannois. The bite, penetrating 3 cm. long, had 

 been sutured ; it had been made through a cotton 

 stocking, and had been cauterised in half an hour. 

 Treated 13th to 30th June; died of rabies 2nd 

 August. (Notes from M. le Dr Margny, at 

 Sannois.) 



7. Joseph Vaudale, 33. Bitten on the left hand, 

 8th August. Six penetrating bites on the back of 

 the hand ; had not been cauterised. The dog 

 was declared rabid by M. Verraert, veterinary 

 surgeon at Ostend. Treated at the Pasteur Insti- 

 tute, nth to 28th August; died of rabies 27th 

 September. 



8. Paul Morin, 38. Bitten 24th August on the 

 left cheek, a single bite, 2 cm. long ; no cauterisa- 

 tion. The dog was sent to the Alfort School, 

 25th August, and found to be rabid. Treated at 

 the Pasteur Institute, 26th August to 15th Septem- 

 ber. Died of rabies some days after the end of 

 treatment (three weeks after the bite, says a note 

 sent to us). The interval between the end of the 

 treatment and the onset of the disease being less 

 than fourteen days, Morin must not be counted in 

 the number of patients inoculated under conditions 

 which permit successful inoculation.
