Trusting that you will favour your readers with the out- 
lines of Dr. Marshall Hall’s treatment, and that you can find 
room for my paper, 
I remain, dear Sir, 
Yours faithfully,

RABIES CANINA. 
By Harry Dawes, M.R.C.V.S., London. 
Rabies Canina is a disease, your readers are well aware, 
that is peculiar to the order canina , and, from its being solely 
confined to it, it rarely happens that veterinary surgeons 
have opportunities of watching the affection through its 
various phases; but, fortunately for myself, several cases 
have occurred during the past year, to which my im- 
mediate attention has been attracted, and if you think fit to 
apportion a spot in your valuable periodical for their re- 
lation, accompanied ■with a few, perhaps, vague remarks of 
my own, I shall feel ever grateful : perhaps it will tend to 
provoke more able pens than mine on this important 
subject. 
Case I. — An aged, small terrier dog, belonging to S. Jen- 
nings, Esq., which had not been loosed for months, he being 
naturally ill-tempered and disposed to bite all strangers who 
came within his reach, on the 15th of May last, was ob- 
served to be unusually dull, endeavouring to hide himself 
amongst the straw of his kennel, and to shun passers by, 
and to refuse his food. During the previous night, he 
amused the neighbours with anything but an harmonious 
howling in a sort of alto tenor discordant key. I was requested 
to see him on the 1 6th. His gait was staggering or reeling.
