he saw things, and heard sounds
that did not exist. In this respect
he suffers a good deal like a man
with tremens. During this first stage
the dog has no disposition to bite,
and therefore does not communicate
the disease, but after a couple of
days the second stage of the disease
comes on, and the dog, in a state
Of nervous excitement runs often long
distances from home, and is prone
to attack all the other dogs that he
meets, even timid dogs that were not
known before to be disposed to fight
show this disposition to fight other
dogs, when suffering from rabies il
the second stage, and it is during
this period that most of the mischief
is done
The third period is one Of collapse
and paralysis, and soon after thi:
sets in the animal dies.
