describes at some length a fearful case of hydrophobia where the man was in convulsions barking like a dog frothing at the m»uib and making strenu ous efforts to bite everything that came near the doctors decideded to place the patient under the same treatment which had been successful in a former case which for tbe aid it may be to others who suffer from this malady we here give as follows : the injection under the skin ol large doses of morphine and the administration of large doses of castor which is a powerful anti spasmodic about one grain of the sulphate of morphine was injected under the skin once in foar hours aud a half a dra bin of the powder ed castor mixed with syrup given inter nally the ttf.-st was to pro.luce sleep in about half an hour which lasted aboul an hour and a half when the convulsions returned at intervals of an hour to an hour and a half until nine o'clock sunday morning when the last convulsion occur red after which he suffered severely from obstinate vomiting until monday at ten o'clock when that also ceased leaving the patient comparatively easy but very much prostrated since that time be has gradually improved and now is to all appraranccr quite well in addition to the above treatment small quantities of chloroform were inhaled at mines and on sunday morning the patient was wrapped in a woolen blanket wrung out of a warm solution of muriate of ammonia eighteen to twenty grains to the ounce this was the treatment which checked the fearful maladv and which the doctors for the sake of humanity are anxious should be published to the world and thoroughly tested the danbnry ct news says : a young lady in a neighboring town has taken up dentistry for a living all the gentlemen patronize her when she puis h.-r arm around the neck of a
