The dog whose illness and death form the subject of this 
report was a very valuable one, a noble specimen of the 
greyhound tribe and well known in the sporting world. His 
sporting name was “ Fritz;” and I am informed that he was 
one of the swiftest dogs known over a short course, though, 
from his high fore quarters, he was unable to pick up a hare 
so deftly as some. At the time of his death he was the pro¬ 
perty of Dr. Moore, of this city, to whom he had been 
presented some time previously by a patient. Soon after being 
brought up from the country, he exhibited symptoms of more 
than ordinary fatigue after slight exertion, as well as dis¬ 
turbed sleep and restlessness at night, often requiring to be 
let out once and sometimes twice during the night, and 
occasionally for no apparent purpose. He suffered greatly 
from constipation. About a fortnight before he died he 
became very sick and vomited in the dining-room and the 
hall. Very little attention was paid to this at the time, as it 
was supposed he had been surfeiting. A few days after this 
occurred he had a long run after the doctor’s carriage, which 
so completely prostrated him that he could scarce hold up 
his head on his return. He rallied, however, and for a couple 
of days seemed to be as well as usual. He then seemed fairly to 
succumb and took up his position on the coverlet of his master’s 
bed, from which he could hardly be induced to move. He lay 
extended at full length on his left side, his head being on a 
level with the rest of his body. When spoken to he scarcely 
raised his head. He did not seem to be suffering pain. He 
breathed tranquilly; his nose was dry, but not hot; his coat 
was staring; his extremities were cold and his pulse feeble ;
