The Signs Of Madness in Days.

The British Medical Journal calls
attention to the measures recommended
by the Council of Hygiene of Bordeaux,
for the better protection of people
against the dangers of hydrophobia.
1t is we'll known that the madness of
dogs has a period which is premonitory
and harmless. II these periods were
generally known, the dogs could he put
out of the way before they become
dangerous. On this subject the Coun-
Gil Of Hygiene has issued the following
| instructions
A short time, sometimes two DAYS.
after madness has seized dog. it
creates symptoms in the animal which
it is indispensable to recognize.
l. There is agitation and restless
ness, and the dog turns himself con-
tinually in his kennel. If he be ut
liberty he goes and comes, and seems
to be seeking something; then he re-
mains motionless, as if waiting; then
starts, bites the air, as if he would
catch Il fly, and dashes himself bowling
and barking against tho wall. The
voice of his master dissipates these
Authorizations; the dog obeys, but
slowly, with hesitation, as if with
regret.
2. He does not try to bite; he is
gentle, even affectionate, and he eats
and drinks, but gl'aws his litter, and
the ends of curtains, the padding of
cushions, the coverlids of the beds.
carpets, etc.
3. BY tho movement of his paws
about the sides of his open mouth one
might think he was trying to free his
throat of bone.
4. His voice undergoes such change
that it is impossible not to be struck
by it.
S. The dog begins to fight with
other dogs. This is decidedly char
acteristic sign, if the dog be generally
peaceful.
The three symptoms last mentioned
indicate IN advanced period of the dis.
ease, and that the dog may become
dangerous at any moment, If immcdi-
ate measures are not taken. It is bet
tor still to kill him. The Boston Med
ical and Surgical Journal suggests that
this advice be inserted at least once
year i'll the public papers. 1t would
seem particularly desirable ana prac-
tlcablc that these rules should be
printed on tho back of the notices and
receipts for dog taxes. These excel
lent measures ought to be generally
adopted.
