Cerebral Inoculation in Doubtful Cases of Rabies —literature on this 
isease quite abundant—its symptomatology positive, the post mortem lesior s 
owever, in many instances insufficient for a positive diagnosis—importance of 
)me lesions—result of Pasteur’s investigation—cerebral inoculation always gives 
le same result, the same symptoms and the same lesions—death takes place 
ways in almost a specified time—cerebral inoculation of foreign bodies will give 
se to meningitis, but that, properly done with rabid nervous substance, will 
roduce rabies with the specific symptoms, duration, and termination and not to 
le manifestation qf rabiform signs. The Declaration in Cases of Contag- 
>us Diseases it is the first and probably most important sanitary measure—it is 
juored by many and objected to by the majority—laws and regulations make it

lem by Dr. G. Levi—counter experiments as performed at the Royal Veterinary 
chool of Milan. Merkdity of Glanders— experiments and conclusions of 
, .essrs. Cadeac and Malet—the mother seldom transmits it, the father never.

Decerning this frightful disease has yet become complete. The 
ortion of its history with which we are best acquainted is prob-

ie veterinarian in pronouncing a positive diagnosis upon an in¬ 
action of the living patient. And among these there is one 
I > peculiai and so characteristic, that when once cognizant of it 
3 may safely pronounce his condemnation of the animal without 
/en seeing the case. This may be denominated the vocal test ,
