oculated with the virus of rabies from a patient, and the symp¬ 
toms of the disease having - become extreme, he resolved to die 
in vapor bath of 127 0 F., but instead of dying he was cured. 
This was twenty-nine years ago, and Dr. Buisson is living to¬ 
day, so there is no likelihood of the disease lying latent. It was 
not suppressed, it was entirely removed, and that beyond a 
doubt. Dr. Buisson has compiled a work on this treatment, 
and quotes many instances of recovery from rabies by vapor 
treatment that have occurred in his practice.” 
M. Pasteur wrote to a lady in Glasgow, Scotland, last year: 
“The bite of a dog is only dangerous when he is suffering from 
rabies. If there is any doubt about the animal’s disease (if dis¬ 
eased) observe the following advice: 
“Place the animal where it can do no further harm, have it 
examined by a qualified veterinarian, he will soon discover the 
characteristic symptoms of rabies. If suffering from rabies, he 
will surely die in eight days. If, at the end of two weeks, no 
symptoms of rabies have developed, the bite cannot cause hy¬ 
drophobia, and there is no reason that the animal should be 
destroyed.”

LEFT LATERAL CURVATURE IN A FILLY. 
By W. C. Siegmund, D.V.S. 
This interesting case is that of a bay mare, three years, 
foaled a monstrosity with a left supero-lateral curvature of the 
spine. She is otherwise in perfect health. Her deformity con¬ 
sisted in having the appearance of being hunch backed with a 
peculiar condition of the spine. Looking from upwards, a lateral 
curvature with its convexity turned to the left is observed, pre¬ 
senting a curve of the spinous processes towards the left of the 
median line, extending from about the fourth dorsal to the 
second lumbar vertebrae, with a deep concavity looking to the
