London,Sept. It.^Hon.

I feel I can say nothing upon^that sub)evt which will be of special ben^^efit to the public. Ueuerally tpeak.ng,^these gold shipments come about from^:ho fact that the American people are^buying a great deal abroad and are not^^slUng ItkMiM of their own pi^duetsi^to equalize things, thus necessitating the^stiilement of the balance due In gold to^maintain the financial system which^makes the I'nited Slates treasury the^general markei of supply for all requir^^ing gold.

Chicago.Sept. 16.^Several Ohio peo^^ple are undergoing treatment In the^Pasteur institute, and Dr. Antonio La-^gorlo, director, furnishes some inter^^esting facts regarding the treatment^at hydroilhobla. He says It Is a very^Infectious disease, but can only be^product d by the poison being absorbed^Into the body.
HydrophobiaIs more prevalent than^most people suppose,^ said the doc^^tor. ^It is not a spontaneous disease^In dogs. The poison may He dormant^for a long time, but it will In the end^act on the animal. How is the disease^acquired^ A dog must be bitten by^some rabid animal. Then It Is a case^of pass 1t on. If all the dogs wero^killed the disease 'w ould disappear. Tho^history of rabies Is ratiher obscure. It^has been traced back .1,(100 years.
Allwarm-bliioled animals, even^birds, are subject 10 It. I have found^In my practice that Newfoundland dmgs^are most liable to bo Its prey. 1 regard^the bite of a rabid cat as more danger^^ous than that of a rabid dog. They^bifte deeper and lacerate the tissues^more. The disease Is purely pbyslrtil.
Thebest way lis to dlslnfi^ct the^^wound with per-oxide of hydrogen.^If the bites are deep the cauterization^cannot ho thorough. In five years we^have treated .141 persons hrtlten by^dogs, nine by horses, seven by cats,^five by skunks', two by wolves, one by^a mule, and one by a pig.
