appears when the spinal cord is the seat of
affinity. The progress of furious rabies is
usually marked with well-deiined stages
melancholy irritative and paralytic. The
first stage. melancholy. lasts from few
hours to two days. and is characterized
by changes in the usual habits of the suf-
ferer such as a sneaky appearance, and in
mood dull. depressed, anxious, easily
startled, often refusing to obey the voice
of his master, and in Il few seconds re-
spending with his usual alacrity, only to
relapse again to his previous condition. The
voice is changed in tone from the clear,
natural key to a muffled sound, long
drawn, hoarse barking ending in higher
key, which is due to the loss of the power
of voluntary action of the vocal cords
"The second period, irritative,' lasts
from three to four days. and IS the time
that the poor afflicted creature becomes
dangerous to man and animals, when it
wanders aimlessly about, swapping and
biting at imaginary objects; Is easily ex-
cited and provoked into attacking any
thing in its way, and is especially enraged
at the sight of member of its own species.
During the first two stages just described,
the hydrophobic symptoms are not mani
Tested as afflicted subjects will lap water
and partake of food with morbid avidity.
The third, or paralytic, stage is of short
duration, and ends in death. Dumb or
mute rabies differs from the furious by the
absence of the second, or Initiative, stage
only. The first symptoms are similar to
those given in the melancholy stage of the
furious form, and rapidly change to the
paralytic, when the jaw drops and paraly-
sis attacks the muscles of deglutition; the
animal anxiously desires water, yet is un-
able to lap it up I have seen dogs in
furious rabies partake of water until the
last, or paraytc, stage, and even then
they thrust their muZzles into vessel of
water in their frantic efforts to get re-
lief.
1.-The dog is subject to numerous dis
turbances which may easily be COMPOUNDED
with rabies by persons unacquanted with
the symptoms. AS for instance, the dis
eases incidental to puppyhood dentition,
the presence of intestinal parasites, hys-
teria in females at the stage of puberty;

arise from spontaneous causes due to en-
v.ronment, which gave birth to, and Gre
dence of, many fallac!ous, illogical ana
vague theories that were misleading to the
word and stumbling blocks to the profess
sion. But one after another these sue
cumbed to the rays of enlightened research
until today we are justified IN believing
that ere long an antidote will be found to
lessen if not entirely overcome it's fatal
Vlrulency.
Babes, Koch, Pasteur and others took
as Il basis for their research Hertwig s.,
Chabert's and Hunters theory of infec-
tion, and have endcavored to isolate the
germ, but they were not successful, al
though each one did succeed in obtaining
a culture that produced rabies in dogs and
other animals when inoculated with it,
thus confirming its infectious and specific
character. During the consecutive years
from 1903 to 1880 in Southern Germany and
Switzerland foxes were almost extermin-
| ated by its ravages.
in 1861 it was epizootic along the Rhine
| and in France. The fact is, rabies prevailed
to an alarming extent all over Europe until
active measures were adopted by the vari-
Gus governments in dealing with con-
tagious diseases. And there is reason to
believe that it could be entirely extermin-
ated in the domestic canine species If 1t
did not constantly prevail among the
wild carnvora of the mountains and prai-
ries. California, being traversed by two
chains of mountains which have an almost
unbroken connection with the Rockies, per-
mts the passage of wolves and other wild
animals from one chain to the other, and
in the lowlands we have coyotes and other
wild species of small carnivora. 1t seems,
therefore, remarkable that rabies has not
been observed in California ere this
From the scientific data of the disease,
we are prepared to state that it Is not
spontaneous or influenced by climate,
country or season in it's origin, but is due
to an undetermined specific virus that is
constantly prevalent among the wild car
nivora. Clinically speaking, we meet with
rabies in two forms-the furious and the
dumb or mute. From Pasteur's work we
learn that furious rabies is the result of the
virus invading the brain; and the dumb

toms in the dog only because of his close

and are dangerous to their attendants
and companions.
Some popular errors in regard to rabies
are that rabid dogs avoid water; that they
froth at the mouth; that the disease oc-
ours during the hot months only. The
statistics of the Abort veterinary school
in France show that for four consecutive
years the number of rabid dogs brought to
the hospital during the months of January,
February and March aggregated one
hundred and thirty, and those during July,
August and September aggregated fifty.
American veterinarians have had similar
experiences.
THE first case brought to my notice in
Los Angeles was of the dumb form, and
came from East Adams street, on July
21, 1897, with the following history: On
July 9th was bitten by n strange dog,
and in twenty days after refused food; on
the following daw was brought to my
hospital, and was diagnosed as dumb
rabies; the symptoms developed rapidly
and the case was reported to the police
and DIR. Hagan saw the case with me, and
we chloroformed it to death. On Aug. 18th
following, Mr.. Waters, the official dog

to my place, and 1t was reported to the
health office DR.. Powers saw it, and from
that subject cultures were made verifying
the diagnosis of rabies. AT various inter-
walls ten other cases have been brought tc
my notice from different sections of the
city including one at Santa Monica. Yours
