WILLIANI CARTER, Assistant Secretary.

EAST INDIA WANE, Sjor. 8, 1830,

Do you practise much in the curing of dogs ?
My practice has been rather peculiar on that point.
I have attended to all domestic animals, dogs parti-
cularly, for these 10 years.
Have you seen many instances of dugs affected
with hydrophobia ?—Yes.
Do you consider there has been any great increase
in the disorder within the .last four months 2—Yes.
State your grounds for it ?—I have Fee') for the
last four months more than I have in any previous
eighteen months.
Do ycu uttribute.that to the state of the climate?
am unable to answer the question, as my account
of it would be merely conjectural.
Stete what you think is the cause of that in-
crease ?—The disease has arisen solely from the bite
of other read-doge:, find more dogs than usual of fero-
cious habits hat become rabid.
Have all those dogs which have been brought to
you for cure been bitten ?—I have seen a good many
brought to me supposed to be ralsid that were not so.
You can tell whether you perceived a bite upon
them ?—With regard to that, I have often examined
dogs which had been rolled over and apparently at•
tacked, and could find no mark upon them, yet they
had become tabid. Dogs are covered with hair : it
is impossible to find a small puncture.
Does the wound generally heal before the disease
appease ?--That depends upon the nature of the
wound, and the time of the appearance of the disease.
In what state were those dogs generally when
they were brought to you as to temper and appc-
titc ?—were they moving and melancholy mad ?
The-great majority were in a state which sportsmen
call dumb madnese, harmless, and with the jaw
hanging down. There are two species of the dis-
ease, and the early symptoms of each are very diffe-
rent. The early symptoms of the dumb madness
are disinclination to food, costiveness, a peculiarity
of countenance which sportsmen would recognize.
I can only describe it as a mixture of suspicion and
uneasiness. The dog will occasionally attempt to
cat, but he is unable to chew his food; he drops it
from his mouth, the lower jaw then begins to hang
down, the tongue to become protruded and to be
discoloured ; the thirst of the animal increases, and
I may say it almost unquenchable. Ile attempts to
drink ; he hangs over the water lapping it most &h.
gently till the water becomes covered with the as-
lira, but it does not diminish in quantity. In 'natty
cases of rubies there is no greet increased discharge
of saliva, and when it appears its continuance is
short. They are unable to drink. The dog goes,:
before the symptoins gradually get worse,. probably
24 or 36 hours; then there is weakness, principally
wealutess behind, an uncertain staggering motion,
and a peculiar change of voice, which begins with a
perfect bark, and ends abruptly in u howl. He gets
weaker, and dies generally without a struggle. He is
worn out by the irritation of the disease. Those
dogs that are dumb-mad do not bite the same as
the others in one case out of twenty. There is
spasm frequently in the muscles of the check. I have
not seen the champing motion of the lower jaw.
Have you.ever dissected dogs that died with this
sort of madness?—Yes. I have found the appear-
ance about the mouth decisive of the disease • nn
enlargement of the little prominences on the back of
the tongue. There is more or less of inflammation
in every part of the latices, and on what we call the
epiglottis. The membrane covering the epiglottis is
inflamed, and the edge of the aperture leading into
the windpipe is likewise inflamed. These are the
marks that arc deciiiva with regard to that part of
the animal.
Did you find any thing particular in the stomach
on dissection 2—There is always inflammation. If
there is ne dung, hay, straw, hair, or other strange
indigestible substances, there is a brownish fluid ;
the stomach almost invariably contains one or the
other. These are spots of extravasated blood. If I
had found these indigestible substances, and much
inflammation, I Arndd at once decide that the dog
was rabid. Pieces of woed, coals, stones, &c. would
lead me to suspect disteMper or teething.
You mentioned another species of madness be.
sides the dumb. Describe the symptoms of that.---
The furious madness. The very early syMptoms
Would' be nearly the same. Dulness, disinclination
to eat, costiveness, but accompanied with crossness,
gradually increasin* I would take as the first
inclination of this crossness the dog seizing the
hand of his owner, or the foot, and mumbling it,
and not biting it ; an inclination to bite, which his
affection for his owner represses. I take that as the
beginning of it. The eye then becomes bright:
there is a glare which is scent in no other disease,
and in a large dog it is terrifying ; he Ishours under
`some delirium, watching imaginary objects, snaps
i
ping' at them, flying at them ; hes impatient of
controul, made fierce ut the bight of a stick or the
'attempt to strike him ; the howl is heard at an
earlier stage, and is still • mere decisive of the dis,
ease; if he escapes or. is loose, he will attack every
dog he can get at, and frequently other quadrupeds,
but not often, except provoked, the human being;
but I would say the degree of ferocity depended
Upon the breed of the dog and his previous habits;
the. domestic spaniel or greyhound would, except
under circumstances of provocation, rarely or never
bite their owner.
'State what are the dogs most likely to bite ?
Those that are either'naturally ferocious, or have
acquired ferocity, particularly those which have been
trained to fight. The bull-terrier is even worse
than the bull-dog ; the bull-dog• is seldom disposed
to bite a human being, the terrier will bite every
thing. In ferocious madness the dog is able to eat
and drink, and occasionally will both eat and' drink
in every stage of the disease; in ferocious madness
he is always,able to drink, and he drinks a great
deal, but it is not the apparent thirst of the dog
aindetdumb madness, because he is able to gratify
his:thirst, the other poor fellow cannot.
How long does be continue in this rabid state ?"
From four: to six days; he gradually becomes
weaker,s principally in the loins; his -weakness
increases, and he dice, as the other,
almost without
a struggle.
Do the symptoms, after the death of the dogs
which die with the ferocious madness, differ from
those that die of the dumb madness 2--There is
snore inflammation in the back part of time mouth;
there is oftener indigestible matter in the stomach,
and more inflammation of the stomach. I know no
other difference. I consider these two species of
madness modifications of the, same disease. I have
found, on:inoeulation from a dog which died under
melancholy or dumb madness, that the ferocious
madness and the dumb madness had been indisceis
minutely produced.
Is it your opinion that hydrophobia can be prol.
duced by irritating a dog, or by any peculiar mode
of treatment—such 'us bad food,- exposure to the
sun, or want of water ?--No : at the Veterinary
seheel at Alloy, three dogs were selected as the
subjects of some very cruel, but decieive expetis
menu.. It was: during the heat of summer, and
they were all chained in the full blaze of the wile.-

?,NING, SEPTEMBER 9,

Fo one salted meat.alone was given; to the second,
water only; asnl to the third, neither food nor.
drink. They all died, but not one of there exhi,
bited the sliehtest symptoms of rabies,
Do you think this circumstance will predispose.a
dog to hydrophobia, as that a lonelier quantity of
virus Will produeo disease in a dog so treated than in
another in a more vigorousstate of temperament ?--
I cannot-speak to this from experietice...
Have you ever given the virus of a dug in a
rabid state, in the shape of food, to another. do'g, so
as to be taken into the stomach ?.—Ves I have.
What effect_ has it produced?---Not any.
Do you conceive that the .virus of the rabid dog
may safely ,be taken into the„stomaeh of either man
or animal ?—Yes, if the coats of the stomach are
sound.
Do you think that hydrophobia can be communi-
cated unless the virus can be made to enter. into the
circulation—that is, unless the skin be punctured ?
Of the skin generally I should say no; het as to
the more
,delicate skin, of lips and meuth, it is a
doubtful question—a, question to which I could not
give a decisive answer; and I would give as a reasou
that there tire two or three cases on record. There
is one of a physician labouring antler hydrophobia
taking leave of his children 'and kissing them;
one of them became bydrophobious, the • dis-
ease being communicated by the kiss. I would
state again that a man died of hydrophobia
who persisted that he bad riot been bitten by
any dog, but it was recollected afterwards that
he had been endeavourino• to untie with his teeth
the knot of a rope by which a rebid dug bad been
fastened a ,few weeks before; therefore it is a clues.
lionJ cannot answer. I attended, a fortnight ago,
the eldest son of a nobleman, A little cur, a vermin
dog of which he was very fond, had been suffered
to lick his lips, On a certain morning when the
dog came into the room with his valet, he seemed
more than usually fond of his Integer, and insinuated
his tongue into the mouth of the young man. The
following (lay the dog did not appear well, the third
day a physician who was in attendance on the
family saw something suspicious about the animal,
and requested that Itnight be sent for. As soon as 1
saw the dog 1 decided t hat it was rebid. A consul-
tation was then come to as to what was to be done
with this young man, and we were both of opition that
it was necessary to apply the caustic to the lip, to
the tongue, to the palate, and to every part which the
saliva could . have reached. Before, however, we
absolutely determined on to severe an operation, it
very emittent surgeon was consulted, and he advised
that the caustic should not only be upplied to these
parts, but to every part of the mouth Which could'
by possibility be got at, and the patient was most
terribly punished ; the caustic was applied with
great severity to every part that could be reached.
In the two previous eases which you referred to,
and which, presume, are on record, had it been
ascertained that the children had not also been
bitten, and also may not the lips of the person %%die
tried to untie the knot have been sore ?—Those
are questions which I can only 'answer by saying
that they are related in this connection as showing
that it is doubtful whether, although the poison will
not penetrate the ,common integuments, it may.not
be dangerous when received ems the more delicate
skin of the lips, •
In this case of the nobleman's son, is the dog
dead ?—lle was sent to me the next day, and he
died the second day afterwards, rabid.
Is it your opinion that doge:are most likely to go
mad hi hot or cold weather, or under any extreme
severity of weather of any nett P-1 believe, in the
ritrocious.rnadness, the dog isntore disposed to
in hot weather than cold; the fever runs higher,
and lie does greater mischief; but otherwise the
disease is not more likely to occur.

Have you ever rubbed the virus of the dog into
another animal's skin, were the skin is not:pune•
tared ?—I have tubbed a piece of cotton, that I had
sopped with the saliva of the rabid dog, on the guMa
and lips of a healthy dog, without producing the
disease ; but still, %%ien the other csses are in my
memory, I would say again that 1 cannot answer the
question you put to roe before.
Do you consider that the power of communicating
the infection arises in the dog immediately after the
bite, or only in the earlier symptoms of the disease ?
—That is another question very difficult to answer.

There is a case on record of a dog communicating
hydrophobia ten days before there appeared to be
any thing the matter with him. He did at length
become rabid, though ten days beSure he was in
perfect health. Certainly, however, the dog could
not communicate the infection until his own consti•
tution was affected, and that would not be imme-
diately.
You inoculated some dogs with virus, and thea
waited the progress of the disease. In how many
did it fail ?r—lt would fail as often as succeed. I
have six dogs now under inoculation for the sake of
experiment.

How soon tiller inoculation did the disease ap-
pear ?—Thcreis a great uncertainty as to that.
the, cues which 1
.tried, I should say not less than
three weeks; and varying in the cases which pro-
ceeded from artificial inoculation, from that to three
months. •

ti.

Which kind. of Ile two, the dumb or the fern-
cious.mailness, WAS the commonest in those cases of
inoculation seemed to be a point of indifference.
. Did they ever recover after the disease appeared ?
—No, in no instance.

Have you seen or known of mini), cases of mad-
ness in dogs that are suffered to run loose ehout the
streets without owners, and generally those which
live upon the town ?-.—Those are not the sort of
dogs usually brought to me.
Have you known many instances of those dogs
going mud ?---,Yes.
Have you wormed many dogs ?—Yes, a great
many. Ido not,consider that it has the least bene-
ficial effect in the world.
Do you consider the symptoms of madness so de-
eided,-that you can never be mistaken so as to take
a dog that is not mad for u dug which is mud ?
No, 1 am bound to acknowledge that I have often
been mistaken in the early stage of the disease.
Of those dogs which have been brought to you
within the last four months, are you decidedly,of
opinion the great majority have.heen mad think
I can safely speak to, at least, 80 cases of decided
madness sinco the end of January. - •
Have any of those slogs so brought to you bitten
persona, previously?--Yes, many of. them—more
than 80 or O.

to our knowledge not one has been lost." This
conceive to be a most important as well as cons°.
lam!), fact.

nave those operations token place very shortly
after the hire ?—I have operated us late us a fort-
night iifter the bite.

in that case did the Patient sicken ?—No.
It was a Severe Operation, was it not ?--The part
was nearly healed. It was neeessnry to re-open it.
From your experience, have you faith in the belle!
lieial effects of the operation by lunar catonie:?-1
have faith in the destruetion of the part, and it is
very immaterial Nvhether it is, tiestroyed with the
cAustie or the knife.

Have you known erica in which, after the appli-
cation or the lunar caustic or the knife; the patient
has siCkened or died I—Not personally.'
Do you consider the disease in the dog perfectly
incurable if taken in its earlier stuge ?—As far tei the
experience of any medical man goes, there is no au-
thenticated case of cure.

IWarc you tried the effect of lunar caustic or exci-
sion on a dog ?—Both, in about 30 cases. in those
cases some have become rabid; one, t should gay,
in three, Upon whom the operation has been per-
f6rmed hat becoMe rabid. I should trace that to
'the point on which if was examined before,—the
difficulty of discovering the bite, owing► to the animal
being covered With hair.

Ilas it ever occurred to you that by any legisla-
tive measure the spreading of this disease of endue
madness might be checked P—The only measure of
which I can be aware is the lessening the number
of those breeds, the cur and the terrier, by which
the disease is usually propagatel : lod particularly,
I would add, in the metropolis, and; indeed, in every
part of the kingdom, putting down assemblies for
fighting dogg.
Do you think it would tend to check the spread
of canine madness if dogs were kept at home,
and confined during the prevalence of the disease ?
—Certainly ; beeauve then they would ,not. be ex-
posed to infection.
Did an instance ever occur of a person complain-
ing of the bite of 'a
dog, the dog being 'brought to
you, and you finding the dog did not die, but that
the man was affected with hydrophobia end died
No.

On TuCarlaY a highly respectable meeting of the
Nobility und Gentry of the county of York was held
in the Civil Court, at the Castle of York, to vote
an address of condolence to the Ki►rg on tho death
of his late Majesty, and of congratulation and loyal
uttaehment on the accession of his present Majesty
to the throne of these realmf ; the lion. EDWARD
PETRE, High Sherd, in the Chair. The Court
was graced by the attendance of a considerable num•
ber of ladies.

The HIGH SIIGRIFF opened the hosineal of the
meeting.

Lora MILTON then came forward amidst great
applause, and said—Mr. High Sheriff, I feel con&
dent that in the course of his present 'Majesty's
reign there will be no reason for any of his subjects,
upon any occasion, to regret that the crown has
been made hereditary in his family—(Applause)
because I feel satisfied that he is one who respects
those principles upon which his authority is
founded, and that he will, in every act of his life—,
(every act of which must be sanctioned by respon.;
able edvisers)—do that which he believes to be
best for the benefit of his people.---(Appluuse)—
and therefore, gentlemen, , }feel that it is mimeos.
vary fur Me to enter further hitt) any eulogiums upon
his character; but there is one point upon which,'
as he is the only one of the presont dynasty to whom
the observation is applicable,' I wish particularly to
call your attention, because I um sure, when we
reflect upon the glory which has encircled thii
country,—the advantages which this country haft
derived from the naval service,—when • we reflect
upon the security which we derive from this empire
being encircled by the sea, and all the advantagei
this tuition derives tram that circumstance,—it will
be no light 'satisfaction to any person here present
to Consider that the early part of the life of his Mat
jesty was devoted to the naval service; for,
out any disparagement to the other breeches of our
defence, I am bold to say, that I, as an individual,
look to the navy for the true support of the power,
the wealth, and the prosperity of lingland.-;-(Ap«
plause.)—That navy is founded upon our commerce,
—without commorco that navy could not exist,—
without commerce this country cannot be pros-
perous, and therefore you see that the prosperity of
this country and its naval power are most essentially
united—coMmerce engages the naval power, and
naval power promotes the prosperity of the country.
I shall therefore, in the address which I shall have
the honour to propose to you, particularly direct
your attention to that circumstance, and I trtist•it
is what will meet your approbation.
To the King's Most Excellent Majesty.
We, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the
nobility, gentry, clergy, and freeleilders of the county of
York, beg leave to approach your Majesty for the purpose
of expressing-our condolence with your Majesty and the
loyal Family, on the loss which you have sustained in the
death of our late suvereign, your Majesty's august brother.
We beg leave at the same timo to congratulate your
Majesty on your succession to the throat: of these realms,
a throne which` has been Secured to your Maje.ty's illus-
trious filthily by the strongest of all tide—the will of a free
people.

Your hfajetity's dutiful and loyal subjeeti cannot refrain
on this ~oceasion front expressing the peculiar satisfaction
with which theraee the Crown of England worn by 111
Pr►nce whose eitrly yore were devoted to that naval avrvioe
which we have ever considered all the true protection of the
insular empire over which we trust that your Majesty will,
long preside

Your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects entertain a eon.
fidrut eipeetation that under your Majesty's reign the re-
sources of the country will be administered with that fru-
gality which the exigencies of the nation require, and that
your government will be formed upon such a Willi as will
entitle your Majesty to be enrolled by historians among those
patriot sovereigns whose thrones have been maintained in
saktylind in glory by the well.nicrited affections of their
people.
That your Majesty may long. reign over a prosperous
awl free nation, and that your Majesty and your illustrious
Consort may enjoy uninterrupted happiness m this lifi, and
eternal bliss in, the world to come, is the fervent prayer of
your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects.---(Great ap-
plause.)
The ,E.arl of listinwooo, in seconding the ad-
dress,' Said, Gentlemen, there is one part in which
I most cordially agree—l mean that part Which
for the economical and proper reduction of city
unnecessary expenses which the country May now
be supporting. lam not, one of those, and I pro.
fuss it openly its the face :of my country, that eon.
'shier that any very largeTeductions aro still capable
of being made, but au far as these reduetions eau
be made consistently with the spirit of this country
in its institutions, and in its safety, I certainly *ball
be one 'of the foremost to give my support to such
redttetionse.—( Applause.)
.The Ilum:Sminwt: then put the address, which
was carried unanimously.
The. Hon. THOMAS DUNPAS moved that the ad.
dregs be signed by the, High Sheriff, on behalf of

the. meetiiii, and he tronsMitted to the Secretory of
State for the Horne Deportment, for the purpose of
being presented to his friejesty, which being se-
conded, woe put end earned unanimously.
'rheArchhishop of YORK moved the thanks of
the meeting to the High Sheriff for Convening the
