sterilized liquid and a piece of the rachidian bulb of a rabid ani¬ 
mal. The injection is made in the jugular vein, and is repeated 
at intervals of from four or five to twenty-four hours. No bad 
results have yet been observed, and the toxic symptoms said to 
have been detected by Galtier after injections of large quantities 
of the virus, are denied by Nocard and Roux on the strength of 
their own experiments. 
These last named gentlemen report similar results obtained in 
experimenting with a horse which had been bitten in the nose. 
He was treated with 1.30 c.c. of virus, iu five injections, adminis¬ 
tered at intervals of two days, and remained healthy seventy days 
later. This experiment is well worth repeating and retesting, 
and if successful it would place in our hands a control over the 
remainder of our domestic animals such as we have already ac¬ 
quired over the herbivorous. 
Our Prize. —The time has now arrived, we believe, for the 
fulfillment of the conditions assumed by the staff of the Review 
in their proffer of a prize for the successful competitor for such 
a literary and professional distinction. We received two papers, 
and they were duly published in the May and June numbers of 
the present volume, and it remains now for the committee of 
award to notify us of their verdict. Professor R. Huidekoper as 
chairman, Dr. J. C. Myers, Sr., A. A. Holcombe, L. Howard 
and D. J. Dixon form that committee, and we are pleased now to 
remind them of what remains for them to do. We shall of 
course look to Prof. Huidekoper for the decision, which will 
appear in the Review as soon as we are notified of it. 
Special—Back Numbers. —One of our subscribers, desiring 
to make his ninth volume of the Review complete, is lacking the 
numbers for July, 1885, and January and February, 1886. If 
any of our readers have these numbers on file, and can spare 
them, this subscriber will thank them very much if they will for¬ 
ward them to the office of the Review, at our expense.
