May 2d, the paralysis of the lower jaw had increased, the 
poor animal had become very feeble and tottering in his gait, and 
symptoms of paraplegia began to be manifest. His sleep seemed 
to be disturbed; his tongue partly hung from his mouth ; lie 
showed no tendency to bite, and was probably unable to do so. 
The diagnosis which had been formed from the autopsy of the 
first dog was now confirmed, and it was reaffirmed decisively by 
that of the second—the poor victim having succumbed on the night 
of the 3d-4th. M 
May 4th, the autopsy was made, and the following lesions 
discovered. The pharynx was highly congested, and contained 
considerable foreign matter, such as hay and straw. The stomach 
was in a similarly congested state, and contained matters similar 
to those found in the pharynx, and a small filaria besides. The 
intestines were empty, and the bladder empty and firmly retracted 
in the pelvic cavity. 
The bitten young lady had left Hew York for Paris on the 22d 
of April, and as she could scarcely be expected to reach Paris 
sooner than the 2d or 3d of May, she had no time to lose before 
placing herself under the care of M. Pasteur. Accordingly, on the 
3d of May, at the earliest day when the experiment with the sec¬ 
ond day had become conclusive, as to its demonstrative results, 
M. Pasteur was notified of the facts by Dr. Liautard, to which he 
received a reply, on the 2th, conveying the gratifying intelligence 
that the patient had already received her third inoculation two 
days previous, or on the same day when Dr. L. had forwarded his 
last despatch.

The subject of the following article, a grey gelding, was ad- 
mftted to the hospital on the 22d of March, suffering with paralysis 
of the pharynx. He had been seen and treated for the above 
disease several days previous to his admission, when it was thought 
advisable to have him brought here and put under treatment.
