EXTRACTS FROM FOREIGN JOURNALS. 
27th of November; the other still survives, and on the 26th of 
March, 1880, he is reinoculated by pricks and scarifications, which 
is repeated on the 8th of July. He is killed on the 19th of De¬ 
cember, without having contracted the disease. 
3d. On the 19th of December, 1879, two sheep receive rabid 
saliva, one by hypodermic, the other by intra-venons injection. 
The first dies mad the 24th of January, 1880 ; the other, healthy 
on the 24th of February, is subsequently at three different times 
inoculated by other processes; two months after the last opera¬ 
tion he remains free from the disease. 
4th. December 31,1879, inoculation of two rabbits by pricks, 
and of two sheep by intra-venous injection. Death of the rabbits 
by hydrophobia. Reinoculation by scarifications of the two 
sheep. State of health remains perfect December 9th, 1880. 
5th. April 19th, 1880, inoculation of two rabbits by pricks, 
and of a sheep by intra-venous injection. Death of the rabbits 
by rabies April 30th and May 9th. Reinoculation of the sheep 
by pricks and hypodermic injections ; health continues, and they 
are used for other experiments on the 29th of January, 1881. 
6th. February 3, 1881, two sheep receive rabid virus, one by 
hypodermic, the other by intra-venous injection. The first dies 
mad on the 2d of March, the other resists and is reinoculated by 
pricks and scarifications on the 13th and 27th of March. On the 
28th of July he is perfectly healthy. 
7th. March 13, 1881, inoculation of a goat and three sheep. 
One of these resists pricks and dies mad April 22d. The two 
others and the goat inoculated by intra-venous injection are rein¬ 
oculated by scarifications March 27th. July 28th finds them 
healthy, and they are again inoculated. 
8th. February 19, 1881, five rabbits receive in their drinks a 
mixture of water and rabid saliva, very virulent. Three resist, 
and two die mad March 2d and 9th. 
The following are the conclusions from these experiments: 
1st. Injections of rabid virus in the veins of sheep do not 
develop the disease, and seem, to give immunity. 
2d. Rabies may be transmitted by the ingestion of rabid mat¬ 
ter, and though we are yet ignorant of the locality where the 
inoculation takes place, it is not less demonstrated that there is
