This is a frank confession, and I have scarcely a doubt accords «ilh the truth—Il is a disease, which) when once bitTing nrrircd at that pass as to -hew itself by the usual symp¬ toms in the system, baffles equally the skill of the mo^t learned physician and the nostrums of the boldc-t empyrick. Bui, fortunately, it is not so rapid in its progress, but that it may be arrested aud en rifely counteracted and prevented, if proper means are seasonably roorted to, duly administered, and faithfully per- -i<ti;d in. The^e means nature has prp?i5cc1,in the pimt called the Scullcup, whichgrow'Salmost every where in a- bundance in our country, [t is not, however, eTery species cf the plant licaiiug this name that will answer ; but tftnt paiticular one called in Latin Scutellaria: tuf/fora% or side-hearing flower, and riot that one colled tcuUllnria ifalcrtcutata. or Selmet-*haped. The former ol these is efficacious in prerentin^ this incurable disease, the latter is not. A mistake in taking one for the other hat lomctimes pioduced fatal effects, and bronchi the plant into discredit, at the eastward. Seme time since, there was published, in the Medical Repository, all account of this plan!, Willi an engra¬ ving : but there was an error in the text, .\s to thy species ; nor was the engraving, which was after (he rii*bt si.rt, sufficiently accurnle to correct the mistake. Ol the superior merits of this invaluable plant in the bite of a mad dog, as evinced in particular instances, I hare not room here to give any more than a general outline. S)i: Vauduvetr left it on record, that in upwards of three hurdred cases in which he seasonably administered it, ihe SUCceSS was complete, without a failure- Lewis asserted that he had net with the like success ii upwards of one hundred cases, of three or four of which I was myself (happening to be in the county of W'-ii-Clie-ter at the time) an ,Ae-w'tness. Dr. Thatch, in his valuable |)ispen*aVy, speaking of it, says : •■ Should this o'an uUirnatety prove a successful1 remedy for a disease s-> truly tit'plorable in it> nature and ^o distruc- ttve iti )i> consequence?, no encomiums ran stirpes its metit, even if recorded in [otters ufgold* The following is his description of it : M The Scutellaria U perennial, cf whicii there are numerous species indig- enou> "o the United Slates. The plant is found in great abundance on the banks and borders of ponds : flowering in July or August. Tlie stem is square, bran¬ ched, and attains the height of from one to three feet, The leaves are opposite, narrow pointed or narrow foot stalks. The racemes are axillary and lateral, bearing ^mill violet colored blossoms in¬ termixed with small leaven. The calix is hooded or helmet formed, from whence originated the genera name of scuM-cap 01 ?cutcii.tiu." ifnt* however* is a description of the genera not the species. The following i* the manner in which Dr. Vandeveorand Mr. Lewis prepared 2nd admin.s'errd (he remedy, as we find it: Thatcher's Dispensary : *; The leaves should be gathered when in flower, (July or August.) carefully dticd, and reduced to a fine powder, and put into bottles, well corked, for use. Winn a person has received a bite by a mad doR, he must take of a strong infu¬ sion of the leaves or powder, a gili fcur times a day, every other day. The day ii is omitted, he must take a spoonful of th'* flower of sulphur, in the morning, fating, and at bedtime, in new milk, and itppiy the pounded green heib to the wound every two hour-, continuing the prescription fur three weeks. For cattle or hordes, three t'«mes the quantity of tiich." gfrtf of m>m$tm. ARRIVED, June 11— Sfram boat Sophia, Vaughn, Sack- ei' llarbafi p«"*en#et« and bajg.'t^e. P>:b—scb.
