RUSSIAN REMEDY FOR HYDROPHOBIA. 
A correspondent in Land and Water gives the following Russian 
remedy for hydrophobia : In Saraton the inhabitants collect the larva 
of the rose beetle (cetonia aurata) which are chiefly found in the wood 
ants’ nests. The grubs are gathered in the spring, placed in earth, and 
their change or metamorphosis watched for. When this takes place, 
they kill the beetles and dry them. The powered insect must be kept 
in hermetically sealed bottles, or the dried beetles may be kept in sealed 
pots, and reduced to powder when wanted. Three beetles, powdered, 
is considered a dose for an adult, given immediately after the bite. 
One for a child and five for an adult in which the disease has declared 
itself. The effect is to produce a long sleep, which must not be inter¬ 
rupted. The bite is also treated surgically. 
The beetles caught on flowers are not so beneficial; they must be 
secured in the larva stage, and killed directly after they attain the image. 
Some of the Russians give their dogs occasionally half a beetle as a 
preventive .—Scientific American .
