1T seems very queer that in both the
Old and New Testaments the dog is
spoken Of with such adherence, said
a wei known canine physician. The
animal aInong the Jewish people OF old
was considered an unelean beast, and
the buying and selling Of him were an
denomination. The only reason l can
imagine for this fact is that dogs we're
held in such idolatrous veneration by
the Egyptians, from whose tyranny the
I~sraelites had escaped Figures OF the
beasts appeared on most Of the temples
