Hydrophobia.- following appears in late number of the Liverpool Mercury, as preventative of the dreadful disease, Hydrophobia:

 "We are indebted to MT Cosser, a French phy- scian for the following valuable discovery as pre- ventative to hydrophoba: Take two table spoons full of fresh chloride oflime, in powder mix it with half a pint of water, and with this wash keep the wound constantly bathed and frequently renewed The chloride gas possesses the power of decompos ing this tremendous poison, and renders mild and harmles that venom against whose resstless attack the artillery of medical science has been long d rected in van It is necessary to add, that this wash should be applied possible after the infic- ton of the bite Another plan which has been ex- tensively tried at Breslau and Zurich and many oth- ting out the bitten part, (mere incision has been the incson of the efectual means for keeping open the wound, and maintaining it in a state of suppura- ton during perod'of at least six weeks. Other surative means, as the exhibition of mercury, baa- donna, or yltoa, were also employed in these but upon these it is thought but little reliance can be placed. The following the results of the treatment: From 1910 to 1s24 the number of per admitted into the Breslau hospital, was 1S4 of whom two only died of hydrophobia; from 17S3 to 1894 inclusive, there admitted into the hospital at Zurich 223 persons bitten by different animals, QS2 by dogs) of whom only four died, two on the second day of admission, and in whom the disease had probably become developed before they were submitted to the treatment; and the other two were bitten in parts nside of the cheek and eyelid) where the prescribed means could not be employed with the requisite exactness."'
