Sheriffe, esq. of Diss. His death is supposed to have arisen from assisting in cleaning the wound of a spaniel which had been bitten by a tèrrier, which terrier had been bitten by a mad dog in Aug. and died a month since with symptoms of that disorder. This case merits attention, as it shews what care is required by persons who may by an accident have this poison applied to any part of the surface of the body. It is not necessary that a person should be bitten by a rabid animal to receive the infection, nor that there should be any abrasion of the skin of the part upon which matter may have been deposited; its simple application upon any sound part is alone sufficient to produce the disease. The distressing picture which the last stages of the above case exhibited no language can describe; the spectators stood with horror appalled, and the scene will be long impressed on the minds of those who witnessed it.
