tion of our American society, were present, and the metro¬ 
politan press as well as that of other cities took notes of the 
occasion. 
The French Consul General, Viscount Paul d’Abzac, pre¬ 
sented Dr. Gibier to the audience, and improved the occasion 
to enlighten them as to the scientific attainments of the doc¬ 
tor and of the various scientific missions with which he had 
been connected. “Ex-interne at the hospitals of Paris, his was 
the sad duty of making the autopsy of Gambetta; and he was 
on six different occasions appointed upon medical and other 
scientific* commissions by the French Government.” Dr. 
Gibier then introduced his collaborators: Prof. A. Liautard, 
as Consulting Veterinarian, and Dr. G. Van Schaick, one of 
the professors of the Post Graduate Medical School of New 
York. 
The visitors were then conducted through the various 
rooms of the Institute, where Dr. Gibier entered upon expla¬ 
nations of his methods in the preparation of the virus of ra¬ 
bies and upon the preventive method of treatment in hydro- 
phobic cases. Since the opening of the institute a number of 
persons have been subjected to the treatment, some of them 
coming from neighboring States and others from the far 
west. 
Dr. Gibier and his assistants intend to demonstrate in the 
laboratories of the institute, not only the treatment of rabies, 
but also the nature of all contagious diseases, and especially 
of anthrax, tuberculosis and glanders, affections upon which 
they have carefully experimented for several years. 
A brilliant success, no doubt, will be accomplished by 
this noble and beneficent enterprize.
