The Signs of Madness in Dogs.

The British Medical journal calls attention
to the measures recommended by the council
Of Hygiene, of Bordeaux, for the better pro-
lection of the people against the dangers OF hy-
drophobia. 1t is well known that the madness
Of dogs has period which is premonitory and
harmless If these periods were generally
known the dogs could be put out of the way
before they become dangerous. On this sub
ject the council of Hygiene has issued the fol-
lowing instructions
short time sometimes two days, after
madness has seized a dog it creates symptoms
in the animal which it is Indispensable 10 re-
cognize.
/. There is agitation and restlessness, and
the dog turns himself continually in his ken
mel. If he be at liberty, he goes and comes
and seems to be seeking something; then he
remains motonless, as if waiting; then starts,
bites the air as if he would catch fly, and
dashes himself bowling and barking against
the wall The voice of his master dissipates
these Authorizations, the dog obeys, but slow
ly, with hesitation, as if with regret
2. lie does not try to bite; he is gentle, even
afieetonate, and he eats and drinks, but guaws
his litter, the ends of curtains, the paddings
of cushions, the eoverlids of the beds carpets,
&c.
5. By the movement of his paws about the
sides of his open mouth one might think be

4 His voice undergoes such a change that
it is impossible not to be struck by it.
3. That the dog begins to fight with other
dogs; this is a decidedly characteristic sign if
the dog be generally peaceful.
