HYDROPHOBIA IN THE kast,
Mr. F. 8. Skrine, I. C. S. writes in the Asiatic Quarterly Reviewi–As is the case with all infectious maladies, the spread of bydrophon is largely a matter of geography, In the United Kingdom it has been stamped Out, Thanks to the quarantine imposed by a long sea-voyage, it is unknown in Australia And New Zealand. But an Insular position affords the only safeguard against canine ra- bler. It is endemic in Southern Russia, awing to the abundance of wolves, which are very subject to this past. In India, too, hydropho- bia rages amongst the jackals and the harder af masterless dogs which baunt every towa and village. Few indeed are the Anglo-In dians in the interior who have never heard the blood-curdling cry. "agal Kutta (* _It was raised, many years ago, in the veranda of a Bengal bungalow, whereal 1 'was one of a Merry Christmas party. In a twinkling every guest leaped upon the cable, working havoc among their hostess's glass and dessert-dishes, Hardly had we gained this caign of vantage ere a large black dog staggered into the room. with fair erect and ropes of bloody saliva hanging from his jaws. He was evidently in the last stage of the disease, for he seized a AI chair and worried it with raucous growls. length one of the group which chung together on the table slew the intruder with a well- aimel decanter..
A few weeks later I was ""eating the air! with a friend on the s'ation race-couise, when pur discussion was interrupted by a parish which brushed between us, nearly capsizing both.

practically free from the disease and ultimately regained perfect health.
Lois fortunate was Sergeant Clarke, in garri inn at Trichinopoly In the spring of 1813 he, 100, was admitted to hospital in the throes of hydrophobis. After a severe bleeding from the arm he became quite calm, and was able to enjoy a draught of water but the symp tome afterwards returned with violence, and he succumbed. The fal ure in this must be ascribed rather to the patient's idiosyncrasies than to the heroic remedy, Sergeant Clarke's constitution had sufferen much. from the In dian claimate, and more from his intem- perance.
Teere remains the well-know preventive treatment by inoculation, championed by the Pasteur, It is, however, essential that the im. munization of symptoms, as the treatment is in no way curative, and it is useless to at tempt it when hydrophobia has been estab fished in a patient. The incubation period in man averages forty days, so that in most cases there is ample time to secure active immunity. by means of the virus firs before the well known symptoms of hydrophobis make their appearance.

Christiansen, 12th cocks which was strutting on the green; then he sped onwards into the neighbouring town, altacking every living thing he met..
In this case there were thirteen human vic. tims, of whom three afterwards succumbed to bydrophobia.
But hydrophobia is.invested with a degree of terror which is out of all proportion to its ravages. It is a very rare disease. The virus is often absorbed by the victim's clothing, and statistics prove that it oporates in unly to per
cent of the cases in which the dog was really
rabid. ertain canine disenser, notably dis temper, have characteristics which may easily be mistaken for rabies, and a spurious hydro- ➡phobia is often excited in the human subject by sheer nervous terror following teglite. An absurd motion prevails that an injored person will contract hydrophobia if the animal which allacked him goes med subsequently; hence it is a common, practice to destroy dogs which have administered a bite, thus insuring months of agonizing suspense for the sufferer. If a
dog suddenly changes his whole nature; if he refuses food, hides in corners, drops his tail; if his eyes become set and staring, his barking hoarse; if he snaps at children and others with
whom he was on the best of terms, he should
be tied up and kept under observation. Should bydrophobia develop itself, the dog's throat will become inflamed, there will be a copious discharge of saliva, and he will be unable to wallow water, though he eagerly inps it. All doubt will now vanish, and the poor creature's torments should be cut short by a charge of No. 6 shot..
About thirty year. a, o a much-respected Eurasian official of the old school, whot had risen to the rank of Finafl Cause Court Judge, went on circuit as usual, acrem. banied by his wife At one of his halting. places he was returning from cous: to the dak bungalow, when a mad dog issued from the Jungle and fastened on his arm. A placky pean who followed his Honour came to the rescue, and was severely mauled. The judge did all that science suggested. His devoted spouse sucke! the wound; it was cauterized with a red-hot kewer, and the bitten portions were afterwards excised arcunulum artem by
the local assistant surgeon. After a few weeks only a scar remnited to remind him of the catastrophe; but when the brave peon suc cumbed to hydrophobia, his master's nerves gave way. He procured all the medical works In Messrs.. Thacker and Spink's famed repo mitory that treated of the dreaded disease, and gave his leisure to studying them diligently. Thus he learned that the first symptoms which might be expected at the end of the incubatory period were irritating with slight redness, at the seat of the wound. But manths passed by without their occurrence, and the judge's fears began to evaporate. One night, however, while again on circuit he was roused from uneasy alumber at the same dúk bungalow by a terri ble itching in the injured arm. He spring out of bed, hit a candle with trembling fingers, and examined his limb. Ves the old scar was red and inflamed. His hour had, come? Should he waken his sleeping wife? No, poor thing I she would learn the truth only too soon. So the unhappy man spen: hours in pacing the veranda, and jotting down his testament ary dispositions in pencil. At length, as day broke, he again, sought his couch, and utter exhaustion produced sleep. His first waking thoughts flew to the doom which awaited him; but, lot the only trace of inflammation was a series of bumps on the arm, which told a sale not unfamiliar in occupants of over-eopled dak bungalow beds.
