Two days before his death, the air affected him very sensibly, increasing to that degree, that he could not bear any person's approach without symptoms of great uneasiness, and even a person breathing with his face towards him, greatly affected him; taking nothing into his mouth without a kind of shiver, as if from the sense At St. Petersburgh, the 18th of Au- of cold air.

proposed. He could see water, and
swallow it as easily as more solid sub-
stances, and said, the sight of water,
or of luminous or transparent objects,
was not offensive; but in his last hours
his expressions were that his blood was
in a foam, and his eyes felt as if they
were balls of fire. The night on which
he died, the symptoms were like a
true phrenzy; exerting himself to the
utmost, sometimes would he propose
wrestling with his attendants; some-
times would warn them of their
danger, for perhaps he should bite
them; but after this, deranged to the
last, he would'swallow water, and never
refused. Thus ended the scene, and
he died miserably. He complained of
no pain in his wounds, no swelling ap-
peared, and they were perfectly
smooth; no wandering pains, except
the shoulder; no unquiet troubled
sleep, or frightful dreams; no con-
vulsions, or subsultus of the tendons;
no trembling at the sight of liquors or
pellucid things, no spasms or vomit-

or gnashing of the teeth, or inclination

At Sunderland, Massachusetts, July 19, 1807, a son of Mr. John Rowe, a worthy and promising young man, aged 19 years. Six weeks before his death, as he was returning to his lodgings, late in the evening, he was attacked in the street by a mad dog. The young man defended himself with his hands as long as he could; but, unhappily, in the contest, the dog wounded him in two of his fingers. He immediately entered his lodgings, washed his wounds, squeezing, rubbing, and cleansing them to the bottom, in the most careful manner he could, applying salt and vinegar, or spirits. Early the next morning he advised with Dr. Wells, of Montague; he prescribed for him, and wrote to me his mode of practice, wishing me to attend upon him. His directions were strictly attended to. The Mercurial Ungt. was applied, but no ptyalisin succeeded; the quantity of Ungt, was increased, and persisted in for about five weeks, but no salivation ensued, only his gums and mouth were a little sore, and a bad taste in his mouth.
