SYMPTOMS or RABIES.
Signs by Which You May Know When
Dog Is Really Mad.

Dog Is Really Mad.
Hydrophobia Is so rare and terrifying
that its symptoms and treatment are
little understood. AS matter of fact,
the commonly accepted expression of
madness In dog Is often misleading.
The real mad dog does not shun wa
ter, as 1t Is said On the contrary,
mad dogs often rush to the water and
drink 1t eagerly, II they are able to
swallow. The mad dog does not froth
at the mouth. 1t does not run amuck,
swapping at everything In Its path.
What, then, are the indications of the
mad dog? To those familiar with
given dog the surest symptom and the
one which should excite closest atten-
tion Is a distinct and unaccountable
change In the dogs disposition, staid
dog becoming excitable and frlsky
one dull. That condition does not nee
essarily mean rabies, but 1t Is sus-
plcious, and If in addition the dog has
trouble In swallowing as though 1t
seemed to have n bone in Its throut.
beware! That dog should be instantly
tied up, because If 1t be rabies 1t takes
but day or two for ferocious In
stincts to develop. The unmlstakable
evidence, however of dog with
rabies Is the sticky, whltlsh saliva
which covers the teeth and shows on
the drawn lips. The eyes glare and
are red; the dog has paroxysms of run
