several symptoms are usually
characteristic of the disease. When
human life is at stake orin any way
involved, careful laboratory test
should be conducted. There 10 no
change after death in the carcass
of rabid animal that can be con-
sidered specific of the disease, but
one of the general features is the
presence of foreign bodies in the
stomach. Until recently the labo-
ratory test for Rabies was by the
incubation of a portion of the me-
dulla of a suspected animal be-
meath the membranes of the brain
of another animal, usually the rab-
bit. This method of diagnosing or
confirming previous diagnosis CO.
yer a period of from three to ten
weeks. Through the efforts Of
Vangehetchen and Nellis, two
scientists, working with micro
scope during the year 1900 many
changes in the Periphel Cerebral
and Sympathetic Ganglia and in
the Flexiform Ganglis and Gneu-
monsatric nerve, were observed and
it is now conceded that these chan
ges are characteristic of the dis
ease and an absolute diagnosis can
now be made with the aid of q mi
croscope in only few hours, where
by the incubation method it took
several days or weeks. Treatment
should consist of prophlactic mes-
sures in as much as the disease is
of fatal nature. The wound made
by bites of animals should be tho
roughly cauterized with Tuning
nitric acid, being careful to reach
the bottom of every wound. In
handling rabid animals great care
should be exercised not to get the
saliva ON exposed parts Of the bo-
by, for infection may be caused
through abrasions. In human the
Pasteur treatment is to be recon-.
mended Immediately, as it is only
preventive and not curative, end II

is first noticed this irritation, later
a disposition to become irritable,
restless and maybe a feeling of i'm
pending danger; ,sensibilities are
increased, the slightest noise eau
ses alarm of distress; difficulty in
swallowing, especially liquids, may
appear; pulse and temperature in
crease; the slightest noise or draft
Of air may cause reflex spasms.
These spasms may also be brought
on by an attempt to drink water,
or even by touching anything wet
The spasms cause difficult breath
ing, and curious sounds to emit
from the throat and lungs, which
exaggerated by some people, will
be like the barking of a dog"
These spasms are followed paraly-
sis, which usually ends in death
from Syncope, in from three to
twenty-four hours. In dogs the
disease may assume one of two
forms, the furious or the parslytic
or bumb form. The first symp-
toms in both forms are about the
same. The animal manifest un-
easiness, restlessness, and maybe
distress. 1t is easily excited and
has tendency to hide in the dark
corners or seek solitude. Later it
becomes more restless, with a ten
dency to keep in motion. If in
the house he will tear the car
pets and rugs off of the floor, and
even show signs of delirium, look
ing into space as though he saw
some imaginary object from which
he wished to escape, or may even
try to attack this imaginary object.
In the furions type the voice may
become modified and instead of q
clear, sharp, natural bark, the lat
ter part Of it may become prolong-
ed and of a higher pitch, going off
into plaintive howl like that of
an exhausted animal on a chase.
It become furious and will bite at
a stick or anything else pointed at
it; if Gagged will bite at the bars
and if at liberty will attack any
object that comes within its reach.
1t will swallow anything that it is
possible for It to and post NOR
tenn reveals a stomach full Of indi-
gesible things, as sticks, stones,
bones, old shoes, etc. At this stage
it will begin to run with it's tail
dropped, mouth open, and eyes
with a glary look, attac king every.
thing that comes within its reach,
though it seldom leaves it's path to
attack. 1t will often cover long
distances and may return home un-
less overcome with fatigue or kill
ed by some one. Later paralysis
beginning at the hind legs sets in
and the dog is no longer able to
stand. The course of the disease
is always rapid and usually kills in
from four to five days. In the
psralytic form the first symptoms
are the same as in the furious type,
only the fury is lacking. Paraly-
sis may begin at any part of the
body, but as rule affects the mus
cles of the lower jaw first, which
will soon begin to drop and allow
the tongue to portrude and the sa-
hvs to run out freely. The dog
remains quiet, is not easily provo
ked, and will not try to bite even
thought he be bothered. The pa
ralytic form usually progresses
more rapidly than the furious and

Rabies And Its Symptoms.

Rabies was dwelt upon at length
by DR.. A. e. Flowers, of Dallas,
Texas. at the recent meeting of the
Texas Veterinary Society at Fort
Worth. He said in part.
Rabies being one of the few dis
eases communicable from animal
to man and of such q terrible ma
ture it should command more at
tention than it does. This disease
is not given thought until some
one starts the howl of mad dog"
then every one is up and armed to
take sides against the unfortunate
brute. If no one has been bitten
the scare is soon over and the case
dismissed from everybody's mind,
but if anyone is so unfortunate as
to have been bitten then comes
the question, was the dog rsbid or
not? Who shall decide2 Some
one thoroughly competent, some
one acquainted with the habits of
the animal in health and disease;
no one less than the skilled vete-
rinarian. His diagnosis must be
correct, for human life. this time
is dependent upon his knowledge
and not that of the NJ. D.
Rabies is an acute. specific and
fatal disease of the nervous sys-
tenn, communicable from animal
to animal or from animal to man
by the introduction of q specific
virus which always exists in the
saliva of affected animals. Under
natural conditions it is an inocu-
lation disease, produced through
the infection of a wound from the
teeth Of a carniverous animal. Ra-
bies date from very ancient times,
having been described by Celus
also by Hindoo ten thousand
years ago. Rabies now prevail in
almost all countries. Australia be-
ing the only country that seems to
be exempt from it, and the autho-
rites are keeping it from that is
land by a very strict quarantine
against the importation of dogs.
1t is known to exist in practically
every part of the United States
and at time becomes ensootic. The
disease is much more prevalent
than is commonly supposed and it
is likely to spread more and more
unless stringent means are sdop-
ted to suppress it. The subjects
of rabies includes all mammals
and birds, though dogs are the
animals most often affected.
The symptoms of the disease
will not appear until the virus has
had time to bring about certain
changes in the structure and func-
tons of the nervous system. The
period of incubation vsries consi-
derable depending upon the num-
Der, location, nature and severity
OF the bites. In man the duration
has been fixed at from eighteen
days to two years or even longer.
AZ the virus is introduced into the
central nervous system through
the nerve trunks. the closer the
seat of incubation to the nerve
center the shorter will be the
period OF incubation. Again the
danger from bites of rsbid animals
depends upon the animal inHict-
ing the wound a. we'll as the locs-
ton and character Of same. Deep

alone can appreciate. To kill time l walked into a gambling house, having not the remotest idea of doing aught save watching the players. As stood in the vicinity of the roulette wheel I mechanically thrust my hand into a pocket of my vest and extracted lone dime that I did not know was on my person. l actually felt ashamed to put it on anything, but something whis- pered it might win, and, sure enough, when the wheel stopped my coin had won. Again I won. and again until that ten-cent piece had brought me in nine dollars.
 This is pretty good interest, thought, and cashed in taking my nine dollars and moving over to the stud poker game, and investing in chips. My luck followed me here, likewise. and ran up my stake to $85 in less than 30 minutes Considering what a big return this was, began to feel 8 chilly sensation at my pedal extreml- ties. and as 1t was near the dinner hour, I made this an excuse for quit ting.
 After dining, the desire to press my luck was too great to be resisted, and being near a hundred strong, went back to the sporting establishment anu took my seat at draw poker game where the buyout was $50, table stakes It's no use to weary you with the de- tails of my play, but from the very jump the fortune that had been with me earlier in the day stuck. held the most marvellous series of hot hands ever known, straights, flushes and fulls without end and several sets of fours. and on nearly all of them got good plays.
 ITO cut it short, when left the game in the small hours of the morn ing cashed in $2,75O, and got the money on the spot, the house man re- marking that if this was my usual style he would like to engage me at any salary to play for him
