Materia medica antirabica Before the era of antirabic vaccination which was inaugurated by Pasteur (1885) preceded by Galtier (1881), all kinds of drugs were used against this dreadful disease. We give here a brief summary of the question, considering successively the remedies of vegetal, animal, mineral and chemical origin as well as the compound drugs.
