Is YOUR DOG GOING MAD ? A :iYONB can tell when a j •"V~ j\ '"Jj dog If going mad and pre , wyj vent him from doing W harm. The symptoms de- VOIW »■ vclop over a period of Sujj£g from three to eight days t tn-foro the biting mania seizes him. Meanwhile . ~—• ~J he gives a hundred warn ings. All that Is neces sary is to chain him. That this piece of information has tot been given publicity before, ex cept in the case of a few New Eng land towns, is due to the general lack of caution, but, with the alarming in crease of rabies both in animals and men, It has become essential. Too many dogs are going mad every day. Something will have to be done about It. The disease is now so prevalent that it Is pertinent to ask: Is your dog going mad too? Tlrfs question may strike you as un necessarily alarming, especially If you happen to live where there have never been any mad dogs. In that case you are to be congratulated. Places with ■uch a record are becoming rare. Your | turn may be next. Left to Bpread as far as it might, ! with practically no attempt to stop It. rabies during the past few years has become thickly disseminated over the whole of the United States, except the far West. Along the Atlantic coast and in the middle West, both North and South, there is hardly a district unaffected by it, and each additional dog that goes mad is carrying it as far as he can travel In two or three days' time. It has arrived at the point where it threatens everyone, and, If It •were not for the twenty-five or more Institutions which are nowgiving the Pasteur treatment in dis tricts, the number of human deaths would be startling. Three years ago rabies began to press itself upon public attention. Up to that time it had never appeared as much of a danger in America, al though mad dogs had shown them selves at intervals for more than a century. Each In Itself had always been a terrifying object, but the num bers were comparatively scarce. Conservative estimates of the med ical men and boards of health place the number of deaths annually from this dread disease at 20,000. The question of what to do Is also before this country. Two courses are open: policing and a study of the dis ease which may lead to Its prevention. Effective policing has always meant a rigid muzzle and leash law and thi. chloroforming of all stray dogs. But It has been proved to be successful. After centuries of terror over rabid animals, England, since 1897, has suc ceeded by this means In remaining rid of them entirely, and only a few months ago when some of the virus was needed In a research laboratory In Liverpool It had to be obtained out side the country. Berlin has practical ly eradicated the disease within the city following an epidemic during which a dog went mad on the streets •very day. Paris, overcoming a sen timental opposition, reduced the mad dogs from 560 during the year 1901 to 10 in 1907, simply by compelling •wners to look after their pets. Attempts to stop the disease in this country have been spasmodic and hysterical. It has required the death of some well-known person or some unusual circumstance to awaken the police. There are three types of rabies: furious, which we recognise; dumb, which we do not; and a mixture of the two. The furious Is the most Import ant. The first action on the part of a dog which points to furious rabies Is a marked and unusual restlessness. Be Jumps up constantly without cause and Is hypersensitive to light and •ound. He snoops In dark corners and licks everything nervously. He be comes effusive In his affection, and his master, wondering, feels that there Is trouble, and asks the poor dumb brute what alls him. Then, all at once, his disposition changes He snaps suddenly, and the next Instant wags his tall in apology ffor his action. In a moment he snaps again. Meanwhile he eats and drinks •ormally and shows no sign of paraly frts. which we have been taught to look or when rabies Is suspected. The restlessness Increases In a way that can hardly fall of notice, and then a night comes when he gives lit tle gasping howls, which sound as if th»-y had been choked off In the mid dle Anyone who has ever heard this bowl knows Instinctively that there |:i something wrong. There Is no confus ing it with the ordinary barking at passing or imaginary objects, and It Sounds nothing at all like baying at th« moon Th«? howls are senseless and the hearer realties It At first the dog remains near the housi- giving his master ample time to take action In fact he forces the attention of evervone within heating and spreads a vague uneasiness.

The bit ing mania is on him, and he attacks everything, cattle, horses, dogs, cats, children. Fortunately the only other animal which gets the biting mania is the horse. The disease Is spread In almost every case by dogs. After two or three days, If he has not meanwhile been shot, ho comes back, but, by this time, he has dono his damage. He is weak in the hind legs, then In the fore legs. His eyes become covered with a film and his under jaw hangs down. Before long general paralysis sets In and he dies. The warning which can hardly fall to be noticed is the howl, and, when his owner hears this, It is high time to act. He can be caught without much danger of biting, as a mad dog only attacks his master when the disease has complete ly captured his mind. But the saliva Is already virulent, and gloves should be worn. Otherwise a little of It pene trating the skin or rubbed from the hand to a freshly shaved chin is enough to communicate the disease. In dumb rabies the first sign is the dropping of the Jaw. When this hap pens to a dog, it is only necessary to place a dish of water before him to discover whether he has rabies. He will lick at It, If rabid, but he will not be able to swallow, and the amount In the dish will remain the same. As he cannot bite be Is not very dangerous, but his saliva is as virulent as if he had furious rabies, and he should be kept apart. Usually a dog with dumb rabies is believed to have a bone in his throat, and some kindly person puts a hand In his mouth— literally Into the Jaws of death. In mixed rabies the dog Is more or less furious. He showft some of the symptoms of both the other forma. About the only other diseases to which dogs are prone show them aetves in a way not to be confused with rabies. Gastric trouble and rheumatism appear much as in human beings, and distemper is accompanied by coughing and sneezing, a high fever and running at the eyes. The cardinal rule Is never to kill a biting dog If possible to avoid It. Catch and chain him, and wait to see If the symptoms of rabies develop. If he Is all right at the end of a week those he bit may breathe more free ly, but, If he becomes rabid, they have no time to lose. With the Increase In rabies some knowledge of what to do for a dog's victims Is as essential as a pocket sup ply of potassium permanganate In the j rattlesnake country. Dr. George O. j Rambaud, of the Pasteur Institute of New York, gives the following dlrec ! tlons as first aid to the Injured: "The wounds should be treated like any other Infected wounds. Bleeding should be encouraged, as a free flow 1 of blood may carry off with It a great | part of the virus. Then the wound I should be thoroughly washed with any good antiseptic solution. The newer colloidal silver or silver-salt prepara i tlons are to be preferred, but, In their ; absence, lodine, a four per cent solu i tlon of carbolic acid, or even lemon I Juice, are useful."

THURSDAY. APRIL 6. 1911. Dr. Tlambaud decries because, he says, it gives a false sense of security. But Dr. Anna Williams, who is devoting her life to the study of rabies In the research laboratory of the New York Board of Health, says she Is willing to take her chances on cauterization, if the wound Is not too deep. The average person, however, will prefer to take the Pasteur treatment Since Its discovery in 1884 it has been tried on more than 250,000 people, and of those who took it only one-half of one per cent have died. On the subject of the disease Itself there Is not much room for question. The existence of the virus has been proved beyond all reasonable doubt by Inoculating a whole series of dogs, one from another, and having each one de velop the same symptoms and die in the same way. But, what has stood in the way of a greater knowledge, aside from the treatment, has been the doubt as tp the nature of the virus. Some hold it is a bacterium, the low est form of plant life, and others that it is a protozoon, tho lowest form of animal life. Bacteria are subject to epidemics; the known protozoons are not. The layman can only h6pe for tho protozoon conclusion. The Pasteur treatment normally consists of injections Into the flank of an emulsion of small portions of the spinal cord of inoculated rabbits dis solved In a salt solution. For bites on the hand or body, If the patient begins the treatment within a week, it is con tinued for eighteen days. If the delay Is greater, it is continued for several days longer. Pasteur himself laid down the rules which have been fol lowed more or less closely ever since. But experience has shown that thla treatment is much less successful for bites on the face, where the reach to the nerve center Is shorter. To meet the emergency face bites have given rise to, within the past two years a new treatment has been developed which Immunizes the patient In twelve days. It is rather heroic, but it has been used a great many times without bad results, saving the lives of many who had no time to spare. Instead of using virus the virulence of which has been allowed to die out, as In the old method, the emulsion consists of a serum obtained from sheep strongly immunized against rabies mixed with fresh virulent virus. The Pasteur treatment is only pre ventive. The serum meets and grap ples with the virus on its way up the nerve to the brain. Once it has reach ed the nerve center, it defies treatmnt. But, if you do not know you have been exposed, your flrst Intimation Is after the virus is in the brain engaged in its fateful work. Death from rabies has become too common to occupy a front-page posi tion in the newspapers. That alone phows the prevalence of the disease. Tomorrow or next week, when you read of little children being bitten on the street, remember that one of those children mlpht have been yours. Imagine, then, tho furious animal rushing at your child, tearing at his fnce nnd body!—ls the picture tor hor rible? It Is happening every day. Your child may be next. i shouted to tho inotornian.

The answer came without hesita tion: "Three a day, mum!" All Snakes Are Killers. But all snakes, great and small, are killers. All of them eat creatures which they slay. None eat vegetable food of any kind. Nor will they eat animals which they find dead. That is one reason, no doubt, why they have always been shunned and dreaded by human beings.
