plonIe gpt scared!sick if dog happens to
nnT nis teeth in them, This talk ABOUT
lao halnp mad when he fToths and foams
st inc mouth is sheer nonsense. Every
cesp M this kind is the result OF dlstem-
nor which leaves in its track one OF three
s1mptOms-either paralysis OF the Dody,
dur,ng which dog has no use OF MS legs;
naraIysis of the brain, which causes
cnoking sensation and makes the oog
troth or produces diarrh9a. One or the
orbar is sure to follow distemper.
Paralysis of the brain is what trlghtens
,,odestrians and policemen, when in re-
shfv there is no cause for alarm. A dog
rms aimlessly and harmlessly because he
il smotAerIng and wants his breath. he
couId not bite if he wanted. II he had
hydropbobla, as doctors put 1t, he would
not foam; on the contrary, would nave
burning thirst, which he would gladly al
l.yiate WITH water instead OF going ID
spasms at the sight of it, AS medical men
say. 1t is certainly strange hydrophobla
should be credited In civilized countries,
where dogs are we'll fed and housed, while
the alleged malady is unknown in Eastern
countries, where dogs are allowed to run
wild and die IN old age from starvation
when they are unable to fight with the
Younger ones for a crust on the street. In
ConsGantinOple man cannot walk ten
PAGES without starting up yelling pack
pt ours. Still, no one there gets hydro
pho5la. Mr.. Peschall told how a short
while ago he had q surgeon of Jersey
City, VINO is in the employ OF the Penn
sylvania railroad, arrested for breaking
the spine OF twenty-five dogs. A man In
the employ Of the railroad company sued
the corporation tor injuries to his spine re-
ceived in their employ two years before.
The surgeon went experimenting to snow
that dogs he dropped distance of % feet
or their backs by means of weights re-
covered from fractures of the spine in
from six to eight weeks.
