INJECTIONS OF RABID VIRUS INTO THE CIRCULATION DO NOT 
PRODUCE HYDROPHOBIA, AND SEEM TO GIVE IMMUNITY. 
By M. V. Galtiek. 
The investigations of the author have brought him to the con¬ 
clusion .that : 
1. Injections of rabid virus into the veins of a sheep will not 
give rise to symptoms of rabies, and seem to confer immunity 
against that disease. 
2. Rabies can be transmitted by the injection of rabid matter, 
and, though the place where the inoculation in this case takes 
place has not yet been determined, it is nevertheless proved that 
there is danger of contracting the disease by all persons or ani¬ 
mals in which, under whatever circumstances, the rabid virus may 
be introduced into the digestive organs .—Academic des Sciences. 
TUBERCULOUS INFECTION BY THE LIQUIDS OF SECRETION AND 
THE SEROSITY FROM VACCINE PUSTULES. 
By M. H. Toussaint. 
Saliva, nasal mucus and urine of tuberculous animals may 
transmit tuberculosis. The proof has been given by Mr. 'Ville- 
main, who experimented from man to animals with the first two 
liquids. 
It is with the secretions taken from a cow that the following 
experiments were made : 
The inoculation was made with the lancet, at the base of the 
ear of three rabbits, with the clear and viscous fluid exuding 
ordinarily from the nostrils of the tuberculous cow. Two weeks 
after, the rabbits had local tubercles, and already shewed an 
increase in the consistency and size of the parotid ganglion ; the 
disease followed its ordinary course. The animals were killed on 
the seventieth day, and their lungs were found filled with tuber¬ 
cles, most of them in a state of grey granulation. A few had 
some caseous matter in the center.
