  DISEASES 
  OE 
  DOMESTIC 
  ANIMALS. 
  

  

  There 
  had 
  been 
  no 
  contagious 
  diseases 
  among 
  our 
  domestic 
  

   animals 
  calling 
  for 
  a 
  State 
  veterinarian 
  until 
  an 
  outbreak 
  of 
  rabies 
  

   last 
  July, 
  or, 
  at 
  least, 
  that 
  was 
  the 
  first 
  time 
  it 
  came 
  to 
  my 
  atten- 
  

   tion. 
  We 
  found, 
  however, 
  on 
  investigation, 
  that 
  there 
  had 
  been 
  

   isolated 
  cases 
  in 
  Buffalo 
  extending 
  back 
  to 
  December, 
  1898, 
  but 
  

   how 
  it 
  was 
  brought 
  here 
  we 
  were 
  unable 
  to 
  find 
  out. 
  

  

  Dr. 
  John 
  Wende 
  says 
  that 
  in 
  December, 
  1898, 
  an 
  old 
  couple 
  

   brought 
  a 
  pet 
  dog 
  to 
  his 
  place, 
  which 
  he 
  pronounced 
  sick 
  with 
  

   rabies 
  and 
  he 
  killed 
  at 
  once. 
  About 
  a 
  month 
  later 
  he 
  was 
  

   called 
  to 
  treat 
  a 
  cow, 
  which 
  afterwai'd 
  died 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  disease. 
  He 
  

   was 
  not 
  able 
  to 
  tell 
  when 
  they 
  had 
  been 
  bitten. 
  

  

  Dr. 
  W. 
  L. 
  Baker, 
  veterinarian, 
  says 
  that 
  last 
  March 
  a 
  man, 
  

   whose 
  name 
  he 
  did 
  not 
  Avish 
  to 
  give, 
  came 
  to 
  him 
  vnth. 
  a 
  finely- 
  

   bred 
  dog 
  and 
  requested 
  treatment 
  for 
  him. 
  At 
  the 
  same 
  

   time 
  he 
  said 
  that 
  the 
  dog 
  had 
  always 
  been 
  of 
  a 
  quiet 
  disposition 
  ; 
  

   never 
  fighting 
  other 
  dogs 
  until 
  within 
  the 
  last 
  two 
  days, 
  when 
  

   he 
  had 
  pitched 
  upon 
  and 
  bitten 
  every 
  dog 
  he 
  had 
  come 
  in 
  contact 
  

   with. 
  The 
  doctor 
  diagnosed 
  the 
  case 
  as 
  rabies, 
  isolated 
  it, 
  and 
  

   the 
  dog 
  died 
  with 
  the 
  disease 
  in 
  a 
  few 
  days. 
  The 
  o^\Tiers 
  of 
  the 
  dog 
  

   notified 
  all 
  parties 
  whose 
  dogs 
  they 
  knew 
  had 
  been 
  bitten, 
  and 
  

   most 
  of 
  these 
  were 
  killed.
