readily. During the evening her ill temper and perverse actions 
increased, and she endeavored to attack the man who had charge 
of her. The next day she became still more violent and danger¬ 
ous, kicking and biting every one who approached her. 
When seen by Mr. Minette, she presented the following 
symptoms: she was tied in her stall with two strong ropes; she 
still partook of her food, but was uneasy and nervous, and 
became excited by the slightest noise. She tried to kick with her 
fore feet whoever approached her. Her eye was widely dis¬ 
tended and her looks threatening, her countenance had a peculiar 
contracting appearance resembling a kind of sardonic smile; 
when suddenly excited she would kick with both hind feet, but at 
times with one fore foot only. Unable to bite others, she turned 
on herself, biting her own chest and fore-arm. The foeces are 
hard and dropped in small quantities, and micturation was 
painful, with the urine of a dark color. She continued to take 
her food, her deglutition became difficult, and there was 
dysphagia and prehension of liquids was impossible. She ground 
her teeth and tossed her head up and down, and her jaws were 
seized with convulsive movements. Respiration is accellerated 
and at times very loud. She already exhibited symptoms of 
weakness in her hinder parts. 
From the history of the case there can be no doubt in the 
diagnosis. She had been bitten by a dog which had been killed 
three weeks before, on account of hydrophobia. The test of the 
presence of a dog brought near her proved most satisfactory. 
One that she knew, that belonged to the place, and had been, as 
it were, brought up with her was placed near her, so that she 
could easily see him, and at once she became furious, and tried to 
bite him. 
Two shots in the region of the heart put an end to her 
sufferings.— Recueil de Med. Vet.
