Dr. Jessen said he had seen dog's led by a string-. 

 He had seen them led by a child. The dog's often 

 broke the line and threw the child down, and then 

 the biting- was not prevented. 



M. Weber had seen several cases where a desire 

 to bite was created in dogs by the muzzle. " I myself 

 te have been bitten in the hand by a dog 1 that had 

 " on a muzzle. This I consider sufficient proof that 

 " muzzles do not always prevent biting-. I, there- 

 (( fore, am strongly against muzzles." 



Professor Hertwig thought a suspected dog should 

 be* kept under police inspection for at least twelve 

 weeks, for he had known in Berlin a dog* discharged 

 and still go mad. 



Next came the question of Laws of Warranty. 



M. Schall thought there was great difficulty in the 

 question, in consequence of the endless difference of 

 opinion that prevailed. 



M. Eeynal thought an international law of war- 

 ranty could not be framed, because diseases differ so 

 much in different countries. 



Director Gerlach, on the contrary, thought stag- 

 gers in France would be staggers in Germany, like- 

 wise asthma. He also protested against the con- 

 temptuous treatment of the veterinary profession 

 that was so general.
