Peculiar Fact in the History ofRabIes.

THOUGH the sight of dog almost al
ways changes the passive state of hydro
phobia in any animal to the active, rag
ing condition there is one recorded fact
which points to the probability that an
animal afflicted with this disease is
thrown into violent state at sight of an
individual belonging to the particular
species from which the poison was re-
ceived. A horse inoculated with the
rabies obtained from sheep and exhib-
iting the terrible symptoms of the mail
ady showed no disquietude whatever at
sight of dog When one was thrown
to him he pushed it away with his nose,
but sheep being placed in the same in
closure he became frantic and In a
dreadful paroxysm of rage he seized it
and killed it with one movement OF his
powerful Jaws. This case is in direct op-
position to the usual course of things,
for animals suffering from rabies have
in all other known instances been ex-
cited to madness whenever a dog
showed himself. 1t may be that the con-
stancy of this phenomena 10 due only to
the fact that the incubation is almost
lways inflicted by a dog.-0asaTy.
