SAGACITY OF THE DOG.

A moat remarkable instance of the sagacity of this
noble and faithful animal Wits related by Dr. Von Iff.
land, a German phvaiciaa of considerable eminence
many years ago:—" While in practice at Quebec, a
large dog, bleeding profusely from the right leg, at-
tracted the attention of one of my students. He was
coaxed into the surgery, when I found an artery and
tendons completely divided. I ordered the poor
animal to be firmly secured, by which means a
ligature was applied to the bleeding vessel, and
after shaving the hair surrounding the wound, I care-
fully applied adhesive plasters, and brought its edges
together (leaving a small aperture for the ligature),
covered with a linen bandage. After the operation
he was set at liberty, but to my surprise the fol-
patients, The bandage appearedwasone °tit. y

allowed them to remain. On the third day, about the
,sale hour, the sagacious animal made his appearance,
an,t impatiently (by his gestures) waited his turn to meet
the atti-ntion of my assistant to dress anew his woubnodlos,
to which he most gently submitted, licking the
time of the operation the hands of the operator. He
continued punctually to visit ray surgery every o
at 1113 same hour until cured, which I believe was not
less that fifteen days. I round, some time after, that the
dog belonged to a respectable butcher, and, every time I
had occasion to pass his master's house, it was impossible
to avoid the extreme caresses and fondness which the
animal displayed by its alert gestures and jumping, and
even following me through all my visits to my patients,
until he saw me safely to my own lodgings, when he im-
diately departed for his master's house, and what is more
extraordinary, all the enticing means resorted to by,the
students and myself never could prevail upon the dog to
enter the surgery after he was dismissed as cured."
