Author Description

Excerpt from A Case of Hydrophobia: With Remarks Mrsyw. Came to see me Saturday evening, May 2lst, (four days after the wound, ) because she felt anxious about it and wanted advice. There was then nothing remaining of the scratch but a little dry line which was nearly effaced. I found that she was very much agitated upon the subject, but I pro posed no treatment, and only endeavored to dispel her fears, and to persuade her to dismiss it entirely from her thoughts. I have reason to know, how ever, that during the whole summer it very much occupied her mind, and was a ground of quite con stant apprehension. I have learned, also, that she obtained some books, and read everything upon the subject of hydrophobia which she could find.
