IL Willaume assured him that the dog was quite well, and to prove his confident* he went to the kennel and patted it. While so doing, however, the dog bit him and drew blood. The wound was at once deeply amterieed, and no ill effects were felt till the beginning of lest week, when unmistakrole synktormi of the fatal malady made their appearance and terminated in death after three days of dreadful suffering.
