New Hydrophobia Cure Claim From Serpent Virus
M J Fiteki reports to the Medical Society of Vilna a paper asserting serpent venom cures hydrophobia. In trials six mad dogs were inoculated with serpent venom and all were cured. A quoted case notes a bitten woman who later faced a mad dog bite but suffered only wound pain.

Warmoth Predicts Grant Remains Formidable Choice
In broadside chat on Broadway with Governor Warmoth of Louisiana and allies, plans for republic reconstruction and the third term loom large. Warmoth pins Grant to win renomination with Southern support and New York backing Conkling and Murphy shaping the delegation, while warning a Democratic loss could hinge on stability and central authority. Sheridan and Spencer echo Grant’s strength in the South. Louisiana election odds favor Kellogg’s ouster under federal supervision, though a fair vote may still yield quiet subservience to federal power.
