FOOTNOTE:

[27] They probably only allude to cauterization, cutting out the bitten

part, and the use of poisons. It cannot be expected that such processes

and agents should ever cure the disease. Let them try our agents before

they pronounce "all remedies fallacious." Let them try the _alisma

plantago_, (plantain,) yellow broom tops, _scutellaria_, (skullcap,)

lobelia, Greek valerian, &c.
