As a Number of DOGS have run mad in Several Parts of the
Country, it is necessary the Inhabitants ffiould know the Symp
toms of the Disorder, that they may destroy their Dogs when the
Symptoms firft appears, before they do any Mifchief.,
,%be Symptoms of Madness in Dogs, are as follows,
"Y I THEN they are going to run mad, they appear dejected,
fh&n Company, and hide themselves ; they will not
bark, but seem to murmur, and are averse to Food and Water ;
they will fly upon Strangers, but retain some Regard for their
Masters ; their Ears and Tails hang down, and they walk along
as if they were Beeping f other Dogs will shun them. This is
the firft Degree of the Disease, and though the Bite is then bad,
it is not at the worst. Afterwards they begin to pant, hang out
their Tongues, froth at the Mouth, and gape. Sometimes they
seem dull, and half asleep ;,.fometimes they will run, but not di*
reftly forward, and soon cease to know their Masters. A Bite at
this Time is extremely dangerous."
