have handled and cared for and exam
ined no less than 100000 dogs and
small domestic creatures. In all that
time not a single case of rabies has
been discovered, or one verified to the
societies.
The scientific researches made for
the societies and the experience of its
agents, we are told, justify the follow
ing statements: A mad dog does not
dread water. A mad dog never runs
about in excitement; he never gallops;
he is usually alone; and he jogs along
slowly. When approached by man or
dog he snaps and goes on his way. A
mad dog never barks, yelps, whipes, or
growls The only sound a mad dog
makes is a hoarse howl, and that sell
dom. A mad dog never froths at the
mouth. If dogs mouth is covered
with white foam he is not mad. If
there is a brown mucous hanging to his
lips which he cannot dislodge that is a
pretty good sign of madness.
If these are facts they should be gen
orally known. 1t will be recalled that
an article was some time ago published
in these columns from a scientific med
ical society, in which it was stated
that in England and the United States,
there were not in all their his
tory more than fifteen or twenty we'll
authenticated cases of rabies in dogs.
That all other cases supposed to be
| rabies, were due to other causes and
that in human beings the cases were
either hysteria, nervous shock, or the
results of Imagination and fear.
A Boston contemporary says:
In a paper read before the Amer
lean Neurological Association at Phil
adeplhia, DR.. Trying c. Rosse, F. R. G.
s., did not hesitate to speak of hydro
phobia as purely imaginary disease,
| with no more reality to rest upon than
the imaginary wttchcraft which was
punished with death in New England
not so very long ago DR.. Rosse said
| that during many years of travel he
had made diligent inquiry of the Oldest
practitioners of cases of hydrophobia
which had fallen under their observa-
ton Many of them told him that
they had never seen a case, and the
result of his own experience and in
quiry had been about as fruitless as
| the search for, we'll authenticated in
stances of shark bites" which he had
spent years in investigating.
Nevertheless, even if a dog appar-
emily is really suffering from neglect,
want Of food, disease and over-exer-
ton, is It not the humane policy to dis
patch il. rather than take the risk of
treating what may be the one case of
genuine rabies, in the million?
