134 Nursing vs. Dosuig. 



best-known physicians and surgeons, and so 

 far I have been unable to find a single one 

 who had ever seen a case of rabies or 

 hydrophobia. So-called cases were, how- 

 ever, frequently met with, but in no one of 

 them would the attending physician say 

 that reasonable doubts did not exist as to 

 its beine a genuine case. Indeed, I have 

 heard some of our best-known physicians 

 testify under oath that their only knowl- 

 edge of the disease was gained from their 

 books, while some of them went further 

 and solemnly declared that they did not 

 believe that there was such a disease. 



I have been called upon many times in 

 cases that were pronounced to be rabies by 

 the owner, but in every instance I have 

 been able to conclusively show that the 

 disease was not present, and up to this 

 time I have never seen a genuine case. So 

 very rare is this dread disease that I never 

 expect to witness its horrors. 



There are so many diseases among dogs
