Try New Preventive for Rabies.

The production of a new serum with which animals and man can be made immune to rabies may result from experiments recently conducted by a French scientist. The brain of a rabbit which had died of rabies was treat* ed with sulphuric ether and then mixed with a special preparation, formipg an emulsion. By injecting a weakened solution of this emulsion under the skin, immunity to rabies has been produced which appears to be both lasting and effective. No bad effects, it is said,-result from giving the injection. The serum has, so far, only been tried on animals.-*-Popular Mechanics.
