The excitement about mad dogs has sub
sided. We doubt if genuine case Of rabies
has ever existed in this County from tho days
Of Columbdsto the. present time. We have

ever saw mad dog. Thsso hot days dogs
will panbnnd snap flies, and these actions are
construed into symptoms Of rabies A fow
flies, mosquitoes. fees, and rcd bugs these hot
days will mako any porson fool like getting
rabid.

saliva disappears. Fits produce frothing at.
the mouth. Tho lecturer reported q search
in his native town for IL mad dog in which
nearly the entire population Joined. when tho
cause Of tho trouble was that ho and drug
clerk had thrown turpentine under the dogs
tail.
