for the patient (Earl) who came only four days after his ter 
rible fight with the dog, if we consider as they do abroad 
that this treatment has produced its full effects only fifteer 
days after it has been completed, we see that the percentage 
of those who died after the fifteen days following the inocula 
tion has been only two out of 298 or 0.66 per cent. 
Among the 298 persons treated, 177 had been attacked b) 
animals undoubtedly rabid ; if we consider, again, that statis 
tics indicate 25 per cent, as a low percentage of deaths aftei 
bites inflicted by hydrophobic dogs ; and, then, counting onh 
177 instead of 298 persons bitten, we ought to have had no' 
two or three cases of death, but at least 44. Moreover, 12■ 
persons among the 177 bitten by hydrophobic animals hac 
their wounds inflicted on the face, the head or the hands 
We know that bites of this nature are followed by hydropho 
bia in a much larger proportion, say at least 40 per cent. Th( 
number of deaths ought to be, then, no less than seventy amon^ 
the persons so bitten who came from the different parts 0 
the country to submit themselves to the Pasteur treatment.

It was but three years ago that the first edition of thi 
work was published by the French author, and the succes 
which was then predicted for it has proved so positive that; 
second edition soon became necessary. The value and inr 
portance of the work was at once recognized by one of 011 
best English writers, the well-known editor of the Veterinar 
Journal, Dr. George Fleming, to whom English veterinary lil 
erature already owes so much. His translations of Chauveau’ 
standard treatise on anatomy, and his book on obstetrics, 0 
sanitary medicine, and on operative surgery, without mer
