CONSULTATIONS. 
Iirane of the mouth injected highly. I do not like him. Tie him 
up with a strong chain. 
—Still the same. Very costive. Give him two grains of 
calomel and two of tart, antim. 
30/A.—Medicine has operated—dog greatly better, and so much 
himself that I let him loose, but kept my eye on him. 
31^^.—Contrary to what had ever been observed in him before, 
he is salacious to the degree, and mounts on every dog he meets, 
without any regard to sex. Tie him up again. 
Aiig. 1^^.—The effect of the medicine has been transient; he is 
heavy and feverish again—eats little—but is thirsty and drinks 
freely. Give him the same dose as before. 
2d, and 3tZ.—He is better, and feeds pretty well. 
4^A.—I was standing outside where he is confined (he could not 
possibly see me), when I distinctly observed him trace the path of 
an imaginary object with his eye, and turn short at it. 
5^/i.—He is nervous and irritable, and lies on his chest with his 
hind leg thrown across as if he were paralyzed, or had met with 
some injury of his spine. 
6/A.—His voice is changed, and so is his eye. The first is hoarse, 
gruff, and guttural, as if there were some obstruction in his larynx. 
He scrapes his bed back, and lies still on his chest. I am sure he is 
mad, but, being an old favourite, do not like to have him destroyed.

Sth. —Better still. He no longer lies on his chest. 
S)th. —He is almost himself, but nervous and irritable—challenges 
fiercely any one coming into the house, but recognizes all his old 
friends. 
\^th .—Still the same, or somewhat better. 
ll^A.—He barks eagerly at me in nearly his own tone of voice. 
As he had not been used to a chain, the confinement is very irk¬ 
some to him, and his barking is, I think, asking to be let loose. 
\2th. —The dog is pining from being kept tied—he barks con¬ 
stantly, but is in other respects himself. 
13i/i, 14^A, and \6th. —The same—feeds well, and laps milk 
without the least effort. 
\Qth. —The disease, whatever it be, appears to be spending 
itself: but the poor fellow is getting very thin. 
\lth. —He is much the same. 
18/A.—This day I will put down my pen, and go out and look 
at him. Well, Sir, I have just seen him. His nose is hot, and 
his mouth a little but not much higher coloured than natural;—he 
drank some broth freely, and was much pleased at being patted. 
Now does rabies ever exhaust itself, and the dog recover 1 or
