receive five per cent, bonds at 95, redeemable at 100. In case the bankers are unable to dispose of these to the public, they must retain them in their safes,

The remaining bonds for 80,000,000 roubles are deposited in the safes of the savings banks, sad the operation simply signifies that the Government regards these funds as at its! disposal.

[Dr. Charles Bell Taylor, of Nottingham, in his article in the National Reviews of July, 1890, gives several cases which furnish decisive proof that hydrophobia is sometimes brought In each on by the Pasteuriau inconlations. caso the patient was bitten by a suspected dog, underwent the Pasteurian treatment, and died of hydrophobis, but the biting dog remained quite well! It is thus evident that persons who submit to the Pasteurian anti-rabie treatment run a very serious risk of getting hydrophobia.

The public are therefore strongly advised to refrain from resorting to this useless and dangerous treatment, bearing in mind that hydrophobia never results from the bite of healthy arimal and, further, that a very large majority of persons bitten hy undoubtedly rabid The Buisson escupe unharmed.
