    there has been a complete freedom from the panic and folly which were exhibited in the countries I have named ; and hydrophobia is almost unknown in Germany. I therefore now repeat, in concluding in all soberness, and with a full appreciation of the responsibility of such an assertion, that M. Pasteur's method of treating hydrophobia appears to be founded upon untrustworthy experiments and unsound reasoning. And I now add to this my conviction that its practical result has been an increase in fear and death; and I think more strongly now than ever that this method ought to be rejected and condemned in the interests of humanity and of science.
