M. Pasteur's Hydrophobia Experiments.
Thb experiments which M. Pasteur is reported thus far to have made are said to be an unbroken success. Fifty-seven dogs have been the subjects of investigation. Of these nineteen were rabid, and by these thirty-eight healthy animate were bitten under uniform conditions. Of the thirty-eight, one-half the number had been previously inoculated or "vaccinated" with attenuated virus? the other half had not. The latter, without a single exception, died with uncquirooal signs of rabies, whereas the nineteen others remain as well as ever. They will be watched for a year by veterinary surgeons to see whether the innooulation holds good permanently or only temporarily. If rabies be not spontaneous in its origin, and if the experiments of Paateur all turn out successful, there seems no reason why canine madness should not be extirpated from our midst. — Lancet.
