The greatest obstacle to progress in the study of dourir 
heretofore has been the necessity of having horses for tfc 
purpose, and the difficulty of procuring dourined animals i 
sufficient numbers for experimentation. In the future, ho\ 
ever, cases will be collected and preserved, to furnish materi 
for experiments on dogs, and in this way it is likely that at c 
early day the pathogeny of the disease will become bettt 
known.

and as well as before, knocking against the walls and t 
doors and the furniture of the room. When examined 
appeared by his actions to havejost much of his sight, if n 
to be entirely blind. The eyes seemed to show nothing ve 
peculiar, except an abnormal dilatation of the pupils, whi 
contracted somewhat, however, when the patient was broug 
to a strong light.
