REMEDY EOR HYDROPHOBIA. 
Dr. de Sandorffy, of the Odenburger Comitats, Hun- 
gary, employs, as a preventive against hydrophobia in case 
of the bite of a mad dog, the following measures : 
The wound is brought into a state of suppuration by 
means of an ointment composed of Ung. Basilic., Pulv. 
Cantharid., and Pulv. Hydrarg. Oxyd. Rubr., and a powder 
is administered daily-consisting of 
Pulv. Rad. Valerian, gr. x; 
„ Canthandum, 
„ Meloes majalis, gr. £ ; 
„ Saccliari alb., gr. vj. 
Dr. Sandorffy states that during forty-four years he has 
had 160 cases of bite by mad dogs or cats, and in no instance 
has this treatment failed in preventing hydrophobia. In 70 
out of the 160 cases the madness of the animals was un- 
questionable. — WachteVs Zeitschrift fur Natur ., and HeilJcuncle
