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. Ills

when the morning comes, ho Is foam
ing at the mouth —a mad dog. 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."
Cauterization, the oldest treatment.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. 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
