collie. He was so thin and weak that he
could scarcely stand, his big brown eyes
were wide open and in them was look OF
agony. His mouth was wide open and the
jaws we're set and the tongue, which mOveo
continually in and out, was black as ink.
The poor creature looked around in help
less, appealing way, but did not offer to
touch anybody.
The doctor took hold of his jaws and
showed me that they were set.
He can't bite if he wants to now" said
he, ''for he can't shut his mouth. L can
make him shut it, though" And taking the
dog by the collar he lifted his fore paws over
his knee, then he put the other leg over the
dogs back ard tipped back It's head. "lf
there's any risk in this thing I'll take it N.Y.
SELF" said the doctor.
The attendant handed him a spoonful OF
medicine, which he poured down the collie's
throat and rubbed over his tongue. 1t was
swallowed with difficulty but it went down.
He then closed the jaws with perfect ease.
THE CURE.
"That'n only last a few minutes" he
said. They'll become set again. We have
to keep doing 1t over and over. he was
wild when they brought him here yesterday,
but took the worm out of his tongue, and
nuw. We see, that dog viii get WELL
"Then YOU claim" l said, "that though
the dog is mad if he were to bite anybody
now the result w0Gld not be fatal?"
And then Mr.. Mulyey made the astonish-
ing statement that he did nUG believe any,
body ever died from dog bite.
DoG-BITEs NOT FATAL
''They get wild from some other cause"
he said. People have no sense about dogs.
They take 'em out and let the bilin' sun
beat down on their skulls until they're sun
| struck; and when dog is sunstruck he's
luny, just as a person is. he goes tearing
around with the water dripping from his
mouth and everybody bowls mad dogP OF
course his blood is boiling hot, and that
stirs up the worm. Then he wants to snap
and he does snap; and his bite is poison
the poison which comes from the worm. The
person who is bitten gets it into his head
that he's going mad, and mad he goes; you
can't stop him.
"Now,'' continued Mr.. Mulvey, 1--WE had
case here the other day. Deputy Sheriff
Stevens dog was brought here. He was q
bit luny from the sun, but | took the
worm out of his tongue and he was all right.
One of the Board of Health fellers came in
here-one of them that drives the wagons
| that carries off the dogs and cats. Well, he
| got to foolin' with the dog, an the dog bit
| him.
BITTEN BY A PATIENT.
"Off he goes an gets a warrant to have
| the dog shot. l had all could do to save
the beast. but at last l persuaded the man
| that l could cure him, and did, inside of
| three days, too. So you see that proves
what say. dogs bite II do ye no harm
| when the worms out of his tongue"
I what do you think of DR.. Pasteur and
! his theories ?" be asked.
There's not thing in it," said Mr.. Null
vey, with emphasis; mot thing. The
| whole idea is nonsense"
The dog in winch Mr. Mulvey seems to
have taken the deepest interest, and on
| which he operated most carefully. is stag
hound which the C0nSul-General Of Russia
brought over for Mrs. Cleveland.
| Stephen is ready to "bet his life" that the
ex-President's wife-"bless her sweet eyes"
need have no fear. The staghound will
never do her harm, for, says Stephen, II
| took old Nick out Of him root and branch"
