well covered, he would not detain them beyond mentioning 
that it was not necessary to have a scar. The mere fact of hav¬ 
ing one’s face licked by a rabid dog was sufficient for inocnla-

hounds and mongrels, owing to their habits of cohabitation, but 
during his practice in Canada he had never yet come across a 
case, though it was stated that an officer in Quebec, some years 
ago, had died from the bite of a rabid fox. ^

case which he had diagnosed as azotnria. After giving the 
history and treatment, from which he had received but fair re¬ 
sults, he said he wanted advice. • 
Dr. Hoskins thought from the history and progress he would 
consider it a case of immobility. 
Dr. Eves spoke of having a number of just such cases in 
certain localities, and felt it was due to some cerebral lesion, but 
could not say just what, as the attacks were short and invaria¬

Drs. Pearson and Adams now came in, and upon Dr. Pear¬ 
son’s taking the chair he ^called upon Dr. Adams for his paper
