  mal 
  should 
  be 
  tied, 
  occasionally, 
  he 
  will 
  bark, 
  try 
  to 
  break 
  his 
  

   chain 
  and 
  attack 
  any 
  person 
  or 
  animal 
  that 
  comes 
  near 
  him. 
  Dur- 
  

   ing 
  this 
  stage 
  there 
  is 
  often 
  a 
  period 
  of 
  quietness, 
  and 
  they 
  will 
  

   seclude 
  themselves 
  in 
  a 
  dark 
  place, 
  only 
  to 
  renew 
  their 
  attacks 
  

   with 
  more 
  vigor. 
  The 
  intervalsi 
  of 
  quietness 
  are 
  attended 
  by 
  

   great 
  prostration, 
  which 
  depends 
  largely 
  upon 
  the 
  previous 
  attacks. 
  

   If 
  water 
  be 
  offered, 
  the 
  dog 
  will 
  usually 
  drink. 
  In 
  the 
  course 
  

   of 
  two 
  or 
  three 
  days 
  the 
  furious 
  stage 
  changes 
  intO' 
  the 
  paralytic 
  

   one, 
  which 
  is 
  shown 
  by 
  the 
  partial 
  paralysis 
  of 
  the 
  hind 
  limbs, 
  un- 
  

   steady 
  gait, 
  then 
  paralysis 
  of 
  the 
  lower 
  jaw; 
  the 
  paralysis 
  gradu- 
  

   ally 
  becoming 
  general 
  and 
  terminating 
  in 
  death 
  in 
  about 
  eight 
  days. 
  

  

  In 
  paralytic 
  or 
  dumb 
  rabies 
  paralysis 
  is 
  noticed 
  prior 
  to 
  any 
  

   other 
  symptom. 
  The 
  animal 
  is 
  dull, 
  quiet 
  and 
  depressed, 
  shows 
  

   very 
  little 
  tendency 
  to 
  bite 
  or 
  wander, 
  due 
  to 
  the 
  paralysis. 
  

   The 
  lower 
  jaw" 
  soon 
  drops, 
  allowing 
  the 
  saliva 
  to 
  hang 
  from 
  the 
  

   mouth. 
  General 
  paralysis 
  soon 
  sets 
  in, 
  and 
  the 
  animal 
  dies 
  in 
  

   about 
  two 
  or 
  three 
  days. 
  

  

  The 
  lethargic 
  form 
  is 
  not 
  manifested 
  by 
  furiousness 
  or 
  madness. 
  

   The 
  animal 
  will 
  curl 
  himself 
  up, 
  and 
  cannot 
  be 
  aroused, 
  in 
  spite 
  

   of 
  the 
  meth:»d3 
  which 
  may 
  be 
  used. 
  He 
  will 
  not 
  recognize 
  any 
  one 
  

   or 
  any 
  one's 
  call, 
  will 
  not 
  eat 
  or 
  drink. 
  He 
  will 
  gradually 
  grow 
  

   worse 
  and 
  die 
  about 
  the 
  tenth 
  to 
  the 
  fifteenth 
  day. 
  

  

  In 
  cattle, 
  usually, 
  the 
  first 
  symptoms 
  are 
  indifference 
  to 
  food 
  

   and 
  water, 
  and 
  persistent 
  constipation, 
  temperature 
  slightly 
  ele- 
  

   vated, 
  and, 
  if 
  in 
  the 
  bam, 
  there 
  will 
  be 
  staring 
  countenance, 
  head 
  

   and 
  ears 
  erect, 
  as 
  if 
  in 
  act 
  of 
  listening 
  and 
  looking 
  for 
  some 
  im- 
  

   aginary 
  enemy. 
  In 
  other 
  cases 
  they 
  will 
  make 
  a 
  peculiar 
  bellow, 
  

   try 
  to 
  break 
  from 
  their 
  fastenings, 
  and 
  will 
  hook 
  anything 
  that 
  is 
  

   before 
  them; 
  often, 
  in 
  doing 
  so, 
  will 
  break 
  one 
  of 
  their 
  horns; 
  at 
  

   times 
  will 
  bite 
  at 
  anything 
  near 
  them 
  ; 
  if 
  turned 
  out 
  in 
  the 
  yard 
  or 
  

   pasture, 
  and 
  some 
  small 
  animal, 
  especially 
  a 
  dog, 
  should 
  be 
  near, 
  

   there 
  is 
  a 
  persistency 
  in 
  driving 
  them 
  from 
  the 
  field. 
  They 
  will 
  at- 
  

   tack 
  with 
  head 
  down, 
  at 
  the 
  same 
  time 
  making 
  a 
  peculiar 
  belloAV. 
  

   In 
  running 
  there 
  will 
  be 
  noticed 
  an 
  unsteady 
  gait, 
  due 
  to 
  the 
  par- 
  

   tial 
  paralysis 
  of 
  the 
  hind 
  extremities. 
  The 
  cow 
  will 
  often 
  fall, 
  and
