Mad Dogs.
LETTER FROM A PHYSICIAN.

The writer of this is by no means
alone in his belief that the numerous
cases of rabid dogs running at large of
late should lead town authorities who
have charge of the public health and
safety to attend to their duties in this
direction. Last week, Jesse Tinkham
of South Hadley was badly bitten in
the hand, and had large piece of flesh
torn from his arm, by the rabid dog
which ran through that town. The
owner of the dog finally concluded it
was unsafe and unpleasant to keep the
animal longer, and has therefore killed
him. Only three of the nine dogs
which this mad dog is known to have
bitten while running have been killed /;
therefore, people who send children
through our streets to school, and who
have occasion to walk in their own
dOOr-yards or in the streets, can have
the comforting assurance that there are
at least six dogs probably infected with
hydrophObia poison getting ready for a
mad run among people at some time
during the next six months. Selectmen
who own dogs are not likely to appre-
ciate the nervous feelings of people,
and are slow to order the killing of all
dogs found unmuZzled. Occasionally
we hear that a town is doing this, but
rarely in so thorough manner as to
amount to anything as a protection
These cases of hydrOphObia are becom-
ing frightfully numerous of late in parts
of Hampshire, Hampden and WOrces-
ter counties, and public opinion in
many places is becoming so strong that
men begin to feel it a duty to kill every
dog found at large. All the dogs in
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1877-06-01

creation are not worth the life of one
person killed by their bite, or of suffi-
cient value to compensate people for
the nervous and uncomfortable feelings
they create.
The law now requires the printing of
the symptoms of hydrophObia upon the
back of the license given to dog owners,
but this is of little service as protec-
ton against the disease, and is faulty
in not giving some of its most impOr-
tant symptoms. 1t does not state that
a mad dog occasionally does not leave
his home, but dies in commissions with
out running at large; that he often
comes home one or two nights after

person with a very thin skin, or with a
cut or scratch, he is liable to cOmmuni-
