and quiet, and constantly lying down in her basket. Although 
ordinarily noisy and active, barking frequently, she had partially 
lost her voice, which easily failed. She chewed bones with dif¬ 
ficulty, but still readily masticated soft food, and at a later period 
refused to drink. Previous to the appearance of these symp¬ 
toms she had been covered, but without results, and yet, nine 
weeks later, her mammae became large and full of milk, and she 
nursed and raised a puppy taken from the litter of another bitch. 
Her mouth, however, soon became paralyzed and her tongue 
pendent. Placed under observation, in consequences of a sus¬ 
picion of dumb rabies, it was then that these symptoms were 
noted. She was somewhat constipated; made no attempts to 
tear or to bite, and remained indifferent to the presence of other 
dogs. Nothing appeared from a careful examination of the 
mouth and throat that served to explain the existing conditions. 
She remained in that state for four days, when she seemed to 
improve. She recovered her good spirits and began to drink and 
to take notice. She again recognized her master, and after a few 
days was sent home in perfect health. 
Now comes the interesting question, what was the true nature 
of this paralysis of the jaw; was it rabies, and did the animal re¬ 
cover, or was it some anomalous affection of unknown nature, 
which gave rise to these pseudo-rabifortn symptoms, as they are 
commonly met with ?— Ibid.

The body of a dog, destroyed because of suspicion of rabies, 
was submitted to the author for confirmation of diagnosis. The 
animal had manifested symptoms of an alarming and suspicious 
character, had bitten several dogs, and torn and eaten the boards 
of his kennel. On the post-mortem no special lesion was found, 
except a certain quantity of foreign bodies in the stomach, and 
although the history of the case and the lesions discovered might 
have justified a positive diagnosis of rabies, inoculation of another
