About the Book

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: FALLACIES CONNECTED WITH THE ANIMAL KINGDOM (a) MAMMALS That a Mad Dog avoids Water, and that More Dogs go Mad in the so-called Dog Days than during any other Period According to Mr. John Timbs, F.S.A., a mad dog will both drink and swim in water as usual, and Dr. J.

On the other hand, he gives, as the most characteristic clinical feature (in the case of the furious form of the disease), the high-pitched and falsetto bark. He also says that the term hydrophobia (meaning fear of water ) is not strictly correct, for there is not necessarily any fear of water during the height of the disease in man, but only great difficulty in swallowing liquids, and it is in attempting to swallow that attacks of convulsions are brought on, while in some cases the mere sight of water will bring on the convulsions. The term hydrophobia is usually limited to cases of the disease in man, and rabies to the same disease in animals. There appears to be a double fallacy as regards dog days; first that dogs go mad more particularly during that period, and secondly that the term dog days arose from this supposed fact. As a matter of fact, the term has nothing to do with the animal we call a dog. The period is so named after the dog-star, for it was considered by the ancients (even as far back as 450 B.c.) that when the dog- star and the sun rose together, then the temperature was greatest owing to their combined effects. Partly, no doubt, because the period when the dog-star and sun join forces has gradually change...
