  become 
  furious. 
  In 
  some 
  instances 
  they 
  are 
  somewhat 
  nei-vous 
  

   for 
  a 
  day 
  or 
  two 
  preceding 
  the 
  paralysis. 
  There 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  

   marked 
  hj-persesthesia. 
  Usually 
  the 
  first 
  indication 
  of 
  the 
  disease 
  

   is 
  a 
  partial 
  paralysis 
  of 
  one 
  or 
  both 
  hind 
  limbs. 
  This 
  gradually 
  

   advances 
  until 
  the 
  rabbits 
  are 
  completely 
  prostrated, 
  the 
  only 
  evi- 
  

   dence 
  of 
  life 
  being 
  a 
  slight 
  respiratory 
  movement. 
  The 
  head 
  oc- 
  

   cupies 
  different 
  positions. 
  In 
  some 
  it 
  is 
  drawn 
  backward 
  as 
  in 
  

   tetanus; 
  in 
  others 
  it 
  is 
  drawn 
  down 
  with 
  the 
  nose 
  near 
  the 
  fore 
  

   legs; 
  and 
  in 
  still 
  others 
  it 
  is 
  extended 
  as 
  if 
  the 
  animal 
  were 
  sleep- 
  

   ing. 
  The 
  period 
  of 
  this 
  complete 
  paralysis 
  varies 
  from 
  a 
  few 
  

   houis 
  to 
  a 
  few 
  days, 
  but 
  ordinarily 
  it 
  has 
  not 
  exceeded 
  twenty-four 
  

   hours. 
  Although 
  these 
  animals 
  were 
  unable 
  to 
  move 
  voluntarily 
  

   there 
  was 
  a 
  reflex 
  action 
  of 
  the 
  limbs 
  until 
  a 
  very 
  short 
  time 
  before 
  

   death." 
  

  

  In 
  cattle 
  and 
  dogs 
  rabies 
  may 
  be 
  divided 
  into 
  three 
  forms: 
  

   The 
  furious, 
  paralytic 
  and 
  the 
  lethargic. 
  

  

  The 
  first 
  symptom 
  usually 
  is 
  a 
  partial 
  or 
  entire 
  loss 
  of 
  appetite. 
  

   Sometimes 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  morbid 
  appetite, 
  the 
  animal 
  will 
  eat 
  foreign 
  

   substances, 
  such 
  as 
  straw, 
  coal 
  and 
  wood; 
  w-hile 
  a 
  bitch 
  often 
  eats 
  

   its 
  ovm 
  vulva 
  and 
  devours 
  its 
  own 
  dung 
  and 
  urine. 
  There 
  is 
  

   often 
  a 
  morbid 
  sexual 
  disease. 
  There 
  is 
  usually 
  a 
  dullness; 
  in 
  

   other 
  cases, 
  restlessness, 
  watchfulness, 
  nervousness, 
  and 
  a 
  change 
  

   in 
  the 
  animal's 
  disposition 
  from 
  a 
  good-natured 
  to 
  a 
  resentful 
  and 
  

   quarrelsome 
  one. 
  The 
  dog 
  attacks 
  all 
  kinds 
  of 
  animals, 
  as 
  well 
  

   as 
  man, 
  and 
  even 
  mil 
  go 
  out 
  of 
  his 
  way 
  to 
  fight; 
  wiU 
  hide 
  in 
  

   dark 
  places 
  secluded 
  by 
  himself; 
  often 
  will 
  bark 
  and 
  bite 
  at 
  imagin- 
  

   ary 
  objects, 
  and, 
  if 
  any 
  foreign 
  object 
  be 
  jjut 
  near 
  him, 
  will 
  gral) 
  

   and 
  hold 
  it 
  with 
  his 
  teeth 
  ; 
  in 
  otlier 
  cases 
  will 
  run 
  toward 
  objects 
  

   and 
  bite 
  at 
  them 
  until 
  the 
  mouth 
  is 
  bruised. 
  There 
  is 
  also 
  

   a 
  peculiar 
  change 
  in 
  the 
  dog's 
  howl; 
  also, 
  there 
  is 
  usually 
  a 
  tend- 
  

   ency 
  to 
  gnaw 
  the 
  seat 
  of 
  inoculation, 
  which 
  often 
  will 
  be 
  found 
  

   red 
  and 
  swollen. 
  A 
  short 
  time 
  after 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  above-named 
  

   symptoms 
  are 
  noticed, 
  if 
  loose 
  will 
  start 
  away 
  from, 
  home 
  and 
  

   attack 
  all 
  kinds 
  of 
  animals. 
  They 
  usually 
  cover 
  a 
  great 
  distance 
  — 
  

   from, 
  five 
  to 
  twenty 
  miles 
  — 
  and 
  do 
  considerable 
  damage. 
  The 
  

   nature 
  of 
  a 
  rabid 
  dog 
  is 
  to 
  bite 
  and 
  not 
  devour 
  any 
  of 
  their 
  vic- 
  

   tims, 
  thereby 
  increasing 
  the 
  number 
  of 
  inoculations.
