THE BUISSON INSTITUTION.
[To ri EDITOR 07 TER "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—Allow me to express my great satisfaction at the news conveyed by Mr. Pirkis through your columns. An institute opened in England under qualified medical supervision, for the cure of hydrophobia by the rational and humane method of Buisson's Baths, is a noble charity for which we are deeply indebted to the generous and zealous founders. Many persons who justly abhor Pasteurism as a combination of 3Jloseal quackery and pitiless cruelty, will desire, I doubt not, to secure a permanent foundation for the new institute, so that for the future English sufferers from bites of rabid animals will always find open and at their doors a safe, cheap, and harmless alternative to the insane rush either to Paris or to the British Institute of Preventive Medicines for inocula- tion with the perilous virus. I beg to say that if such a fund be started I shall be happy to subscribe L-20, to which a friend will add £5.—I am, Sir, &c., Hen gwrt, Dolgelly, March 30th. PRANCES POWER COBBE.
