RABIES IN THE DOG.— SYMPTOMS. 417 
vomit. There has been no evacuation from the bowels since 
the 19 th. 
At 5 p.m. he was brought to me. The eyes were wild, and 
the conjunctiva considerably inflamed : he panted quickly and 
violently. There was considerable flow of saliva from the cor- 
ners of his mouth, but neither his lips nor tongue were disco- 
loured. He was extremely restless. He did not remain in one 
posture half a minute. There was an occasional convulsive nod- 
ding motion of the head. The eyes were wandering, and evi- 
dently following some imaginary object. He was quickly re- 
called from bis delirium by my voice or that of his master: but 
in a moment he was wandering again. His ears were erect, and 
he listened attentively to every sound. He had previously been 
under my care, and immediately recognized me, and fondled 
upon me, and offered me his paw as he had been accustomed to 
do. His bark was changed, and seemed to have a slight mix- 
ture of the howl, and there was occasionally a husky choaking 
noise in the throat. I immediately declared that he was rabid, 
and requested that he might be left with me, to which his mas-

the spasm of the head no longer visible — the flow of saliva near- 
ly stopped, and less delirium. The jaw beginning to be depen- 
dent, and the tongue and lips assuming a dark colour — the ratt- 
ling choaking noise in the throat louder. Frequently carrying 
straw in his mouth. He picked up some old pieces of leather 
that lay within his reach, and carefully concealed them under 
his bed — he would then take them out and look at them, and 
again hide them. He frequently voided his urine in small quan- 
tities, but no longer lapped it. He could not be induced to bite 
a small dog that was repeatedly thrown upon him. Give him 
ten grains of calomel. 
10 p.m. — I had not been at home since the morning. Every 
symptoms of fever has returned with increased violence. He 
pants very much, and does not remain in the same posture two 
seconds. He is continually running to the end of his chain and 
attempting to bite. He would now have bitten the little dog, but 
his lower jaw had become paralyzed, and he could not penetrate 
the skin. He was eagerly and wildly watching some imagi- 
nary object — his voice was hoarser, and more of the howl mixing 
with it. The spasm of the throat was again evident, but the
