on certain animals some applications of the bandage which he 
applied with so much dexterity in the practice of human surgery. 
Triangular, and folded in the form of a cravat, this bandage ap- 
peared to be exceedingly useful for the dressing of wounds near 
the base of the different members — in different kinds of javart or 
peduncle — diseases of the limbs, &c. In all the engorgements of 
the submaxillary ganglions the apparatus accomplishes every de- 
sired object. 
EXTRACT OF THE COMPTE-RENDU OF THE ROYAL 
VETERINARY SCHOOL AT LYONS, DURING 
THE SCHOLASTIC YEAR OF 1842-43. 
By M. Rey, Clinical Professor. 
From the 1st of August 1842 to the 31st of July 1843 there 
were admitted into the hospital of the school 995 animals ; namely, 
600 horses, 35 cows, 40 sheep, and 320 of other animals. 
The diseases of the first were a little more numerous than in 
the preceding year. The dogs were much inferior in number, on 
account of the rigorous measures which the authorities took to 
diminish the propagation of these animals. 
Of the 600 solipedes, 535 were cured, and 65 died, or were 
sacrificed. 
The maladies of the latter may be reckoned under the following 
heads : 18 died of glanders, 29 of other diseases, chronic or acute, 
and 18 surgical patients. These were sacrificed as incurable. 
At the head of the various diseases brought into the hospital was 
Rabies. 
This dreadful malady is yet among us. Several accidents being 
observed in our town at the commencement of the year, the most 
rigorous measures were employed to effect the destruction of every 
wandering dog. We will hasten to shew the efficacy of the 
means employed, and the infinite good that has been effected. In 
1842, 104 dogs were received into the hospital of the school; 
62 of them died of rabies. In 1843, 48 died, of which 14 were 
cases of rabies. We have in this year had 14 cases of rabies, in 
which were 6 dogs attacked by that variety of the disease known 
by the name of dumb madness. 
During the last summer, especially after the rapid changes of the 
weather, we observed this disease to declare itself most frequently.
