HOW TO TELL A CASE OF RABIES.

“The majority of the ailments of dogs in the summer is not due, to the hot weather,” said a veterinarian. “Some people have go;ten the idea • that no meat should be given a dog when the weather is warm. This is a mistake. Meat is the natural .diet of the dog and when it is taken away from him and breakfast foods and the like are substituted more harm than good is done.” Owing to the danger of hydrophobia, the veterinarian believes that every- person who owns a dog should know the symptoms of this disease. “The best plan, or course, is to prevent the dog from Jiaving. rabies. This is very easy, a% hydrophobia can only be caused by the bite of a rabid animal. If people would keep their dogs off the street there could be no danger.” “A dog is dangerous eight days before it shows any symptoms of the rabies. The first symptoms begin to appear in the dog when it becomes restless and snarls at old friends, as the ice man, grocer and others accustomed to enter the yard... Soon it will get so that it does not want its master near and is disagreeable at all times. The next stage is very distinctive. The dog attempts to swallow food and water but cannot. The mas-' ter believes that it has a bone in its throat. The truth is that its throat is paralyzed and it is only a matter of time until its brain is affected and if dies. This is the dumb rabies. “The furious "rabies come on , much quicker and the dbg runs I from the yard and snaps at every other dog and person that it rmeefs. The old idea that a

rabid dog always goes in a straight line is false. A dog with the rabies can go in any direction and can be recognized by the frothing at the mouth. “Nine out of every ten calls I get'on supposed cases of hydrophobia are heat apoplexy. When a dog has a stroke of this apoplexy it butts its head against a tree, fence or any object and acts and is mad. This dog froths at the mouth, but the froth does not contain the deadly poison in that of the rabid dog.’’—Sedalia (Mo.) Daily Capital.
