THE HYDROPHOBIA CURE

LETTER FROM MR. EMERY, OF WILMOT

A few weeks ago, when the details of the horrible death of a man in Dundas fresh is the minds of the community, wrote to Mr. John Emery, of Wilmot, who has for years been in possession of a cure for Hydrophobia, asking him to furnish us with such particulars of his experience in the treatment of the disease as he might be disposed to give, and also pressing upon him the necessity of placing such a valuable remedy within the reach of the public generally. The remedy is known to himself alone, and has been the means of saving human life in a great number, and besides has proved effectual in curing farm stock to the value of thousands of dollars which has boon afflicted with this terrible disease. The name of John Emery is known in connection with this cure throughout all this section of the country, and he cites instances from Goderich, London, Toronto, Hamilton, Long Point, and other places, in which his treatment has proved successful in counteracting the effects of the virus, which had been communicated by rabid animals. We give an extract from his letter which speaks itself. Mr. Emery says :- " There have been endeavours made by many persons to obtain the cure from me, but until now I have refused to sell the receipt to any person. However, I feel at liberty to dispose of it, and if I receive a sufficient remuneration from a respectable person will make the cure known * * * As you wished me to give some instances where persons had procured medicine from me for the bits of a mad dog, or other rabid animals, I would refer you to Mr. John Grummett of Beverly He had nearly all his stock bitten, I gave him medicine for and ox only. All the other animals bitten went mad. Also to Mr. Isaac Clemens, M. P. for South Waterloo, bitten by mad dog. A. J. Peterson, Registrar County Waterloo, bitten by his own dog, which was raving mad beyond a doubt; James Dunam, of Dundas; Jacob Aument, of Queen's Bush, who had a piece bitten out of his nose by a mad wolf. In 1860, Mr. Wm. Noon, of Beverly, got medicine from me for himself and son, had been bitten by mad dog. In 1862, two children sons of Mr. Trow, M. P., Co. Perth, were bitten, and Mrs. Trow had also been bitten 15 years before when a girl, all use used my medicine and were saved. In looking back to 1846 I find two cases - one a child of Ladwick Adit, Wilmot, four years old and a son of Joseph Loetsinger, of North East Hope, 15 years old. These children were literally chawed up, one of them had thirteen holes in the hand and arm and a long cut on the head. In all cases the medicine proved effectual. I shall not write any more at present, but subscribe myself,

Yours respectfully[sic], JOHN EMERY.

In addition to these cases, we know of several instances in Galt and vicinity where the medicine has been used. In Beverly, Mr. Charles McKilligan informs of one case of a mare which had been bitten by a horse which was raving mad and had to be shot. The mare was covered with wounds, medicine had not only to be given internally, but rubbed into the sores. Mr. Emery was so confident that his medicine would effectual that he agreed to be responsible of the stock on the farm, over one thousand dollars worth, and allow the bitten animal run among them only stipulating that the medicine would be given faithfully. The result proved that his confidence was not misplaced, as the mare recovered. This alone is testimony that the remedy is a radical cure, and worthy of attention.

We have corresponded with Mr. Emery for the purpose of inducing him to place the medicine within reach of the public throughout the country, but instead of adopting this new method he now offers to sell the receipt for a consideration. We believe this is the first time has expressed a willingness to dispose of his secret, and in the interests of humanity we think the opportunity should be taken advantage of either by private enterprise or by the action of the Local Government Mr. Emery's address is Baden P.
