Show Analogical Considerations, bronchotomy may be advisable, Dr. Rush (In. for 1803, p. 105) gives the dissection of a pa-' tient five years old, which in his opinion confirms the idea. All the muscles of the neck had a livid colour, as sometimes in those who die ofsore throat. The muscles ofdeglutition and speech suffused with blood.

Mr. King, surgeon at the llotwellS, who had the opportunity of dissecting several rabid animals ofdifl‘erent families, found strong inflammation in all. He will give the public an account of the appearances and of some 1'6marlgahle circumstances, belonging to the disorder, as it affected these animals. L‘r.

A female K female at Stuttgard, above 70, five weeks after the bite of a mad dog, died of hydropho- bia on the third day, having taken no medicine whatever. Next day, the tongue was found feul; the fauces foamy; the epiglottis, larynx, trachea, and all the neighbour ing parts perfectly natural (plane naturales; sine inflammatione.) The salivary glands all free from tumors or redness. The thyroid gland strumous and abound~= ing, as is usual under that sort of dis organiza~ tion, with steatoms, and a sub pellucid gela- tinous matter was diflfused through the ord inary red parenchyma. The upper part of the oeso- phagus within the posterior medias tinum had a pale red irritated appearance for two inches-the remainder quite natural.
