262 The Management and Diseases of the Dog. 
Kolesemkoff reports the results of the examination of ten 
mad dogs made in Rudneff’s pathological laboratory at 
St. Petersburg. The parts examined were the cerebral 
hemispheres, the corpora striata, thalami optict, cornua am- 
montis, cerebellum, medulla oblongata, medulla spinalis, and 
the sympathetic and spinal ganglia. The changes were 
always most marked in the ganglia, and were as follows: 
1. The vessels were much distended and filled with red 
corpuscles. Here and there along their course were seen 
groups of red corpuscles, and round indifferent elements 
(probably emigrated white corpuscles) scattered in the 
perivascular spaces. The walls of the vessels were spotted 
with hyaloid masses of various forms, sometimes extending 
and obstructing the lumen of the vessel-like thrombi. Not 
far from these were collections of white and red, corpuscles. 
2. There was found to be a collection of round, indifferent 
elements in general around the nerve-cells, sometimes 
penetrating into the protoplasm of the cells to the number 
of five or eight; sometimes in such number as quite to 
displace the cell-protoplasm. he number of migrated 
cells produced various changes in the form of the nerve- 
elements. The nuclei of the cells were sometimes pushed 
forwards towards the periphery by the intrusive elements. 
In other cases the nerve-cells seemed entirely replaced by 
masses of round indifferent corpuscles. These changes 
were seen even in isolated nerve-cells. The author points 
out the analogy of these changes to those described by 
Popoff in enteric fever and injuries. 
_ With regard to the innocuousness of the milk derived 
from rabid animals, there is a conflict of opinion. Cases, 
however, are on reeord both of human beings and the 
offspring of animals becoming affected through partaking 
of milk secreted by hydrophobic and rabid subjects; but 
many of these cases, it must be confessed, are involved in 
doubt. :
