not rabid. If You will note the follow
inc facts you will have no difficulty You
will probably find them to be quite differ
ent from the popular fancies by which
most persons are misled.
/. IL is supposed that a mad dog breads
water. IL Is not so. The mad dog Is very
likely to plunge his head TO the eyes IN
water, though he cannot swallow 1t and
laps II with difficulty.
2 II is supposed that mad dog runs
about with evidences OF intense excite
ment, Ii is not So The mad dog never
runs about in agitation; he never gallops
he IS always alone, usually in strange
place, where he joys along slowly. III
he is approached by dog or man he shows
no sign Of excitement, but when the dog
or man is near enough he snaps and re-
sumes his solitary trot
g. II a dog barks. yelps, whines, or
growls. that dog is not mad. The only
sound a mad dog Is ever known TO emit Is
a hoarse howl, and that but seldom. Even
blows will not extort an outcry from a
mad dog. Therefore. II any dog, under
any circumstances. utters any other sound
than that OF a hoarse howl, that dog is
not mad.
4. 1t is supposed that the mad dog froths
at the mouth. ID is not so. IL a dog $
Jaws are covered or 1ecked with white
froth. that dog is not mad. The surest
of all signs that dog is mad is thick
and ropy brown mucus clinging TO ms
lips, which he often tries vainly TO tear
away with his paws or 10 wash away
with water.
5. II your own dog is bitten by any
other dog. watch him carefully. III he Is

Of II possibly i'm from six to ten days.
Then he will be restless. often getting
uD only to lie down again. changing ms
position impatiently. turning from side TO

some particular part of his head, limbs,
or body. He will be irritable and inclined
TO dash at other animals, and he VIII

ings about his jaws and throat. and he

ably stray away from home and trot slow
" and mournfully along the highway or
across country. meddling with neither man
nor beast unless they approach him. and

Therefore Consider the Dog and Deal with
Him in AN Intelligent Way.

Now, the very first observation we have
TO make on this subject is that there are
no such days in the years calendar as
dog days"
There are no days on which. and there
is no kind OF weather during which. a
dog is peculiarly liable to rabies. Rabies
is rare disease at all seasons Of the
year. and there are no more cases OF rabies
in July or August than in December or
January.
II follows. therefore, that there Is no
more reason TO dread our family friend,
the dog, in hot weather than In cold, and
no more reason to dread hydrophobia from
his bite at one time of the year than at
another. The phrase dog days Is a
false and misleading phrase, which all
humane persons ought to avoid In the in
terest of the dog.
We have said, and we repeat, that hy-
drophobia is one of the rarest of diseases;
and that when IL appears 10 be developed,
we believe 1t, in the vast majority OF cases
to be a simulated disease, produced by
morbid imagination.
We do not go so far as to assert that 1t
is never caused by the bite of rabid
animal; and therefore we would advise
that all proper care should be taken TO
destroy without delay all animals that are
affected with rabies. Yet here again we
must recall the fact that rabies itself is
one OF the rarest Of all the diseases with
which dogs and other animals are affect
ed. When we hear the cry OF Mad dog"
the chances are millions TO one that the
dOg is not mad; IL Is the people who are
mad with terror.
In the thirty years since the American
Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty to
Animals was established our officers and
agents have been constantly on the out
look, but no undoubted case OF rabies has
ever fallen under their observation or
within their knowledge; and Of over l60.-
600 dogs and other small animals which
have been cared for at our shelter during
the past three years. not one single case
OF rabies has been found These facts
sufficiently prove that rabies Is rare in
this city and in. this State; but there is
such a disease, and II Is important for
the public. as well as yourself. that you
