Pasteur's treat 'lffhyd pSi, From this abstract f nLwins paraffraphs are taken : | It thflfolW^fcred certain that M. Pas ■■^KSJSSd a method of protection f v£ imparablo with that which frO^ a t£f afforSs a-ainst infection from TaCC,iir It would be difficult to over- S ihe importance of the discovery, SS for its pmcticabihty or fov its 111 application to general pathology. fSsanew method of inoculation, or, I Sur sometimes calls it of vacant ?« theUke of which it may become pos t! o"'*0"'* employ for the protection of both Jacl aad domestic animals against the most "■i*Tk kduratiorpf immunity conferred bv inoculation, is nob yet determined, but £ the two years that have passed Sit first proved there have been no taxations of its being limited. The iim thinks it is therefore certain. that the inoculations practised by M. Steur have prevented the occurrence of hydrophobia in a large proportion of those wio iftheyhadnotbeeriso inoculated, would have died of that disease, and his discovery shbws that it may become possible to wrest by inoculation, even after infection, othe- diseases besides hydrophobia. His riches have also added very largely to foi knowledge of the pathology ofMdro uhobk and supplied a sure means of deter- Jji n iD<» whether an animal which has died under suspicion of rabies was redily affected with that, disease or not.'J The "Medical News says, editorially: TEa report' of the British .H-ydropkabia Commission constitutes the ablest defence of M. Pasteur's method which has yet been made, and it IS cause for congratulation ttofflerrso competent to observe facts «md weigh evidence Save _been able, after tiieinvestigatiionsi to reach" a, unanimous conclusion as to the prophylactic value of tlis inoculation system of Paßteur.
