Lee, superintendent of the health department, today made known that two cases of rabies in Iccally owned dogs have been called to the attention of the board. As soon as the department came in possession of the facts, the dogs infected were ordered killed and the heads were sent to New Haven, where a diagno- sis will be made. Tt is expected that a report on the matter will be received at the local department within a day or two, Whether or not the cases in question are aggravated or slight will be determined, but the local depart- ment, in a preliminary diagnosie, lo- cated positive traces of the disease. There {8 at the present time one more dog whizh {s being held in quaran- tine, being under observation to de- termine if it is suffering from the dis- eate, Dr. Lee has issued a warning to all dog owners in this city to watch their animals closely. The health superin- tendent desires that all owners see to it that their dogs are kept as far as possible on their own premises, and not allowed to roam. 1In this way the danger of a spread of rabies will be greatly lessened, and in any case where there s the slightest suspicion of rabies existing, the owners are re- quested to get in touch at once with the health department or else secure a veterinary surgeon. Dr. Lee explained that in cases of mild rables, the dog shows symptoms in the sharpness of his barking. The animal will also be noticed to change its position very frequently, and the lower jaw will droop more than usual. The dog will also display a shyness, and will usually seek out some dark spot to lia down. In the more aggravated cases, the inside of the animal's mouth will dis- play a very reddish color, and there will be more than the usual amount saliva. Dr. Lee said this afternoon, that the impression prevails that rabied dogs froth from the mouth. This, he said, {8 not always the (gse A dog with an aggravated case of rables will show a tendency to run and roam considerably, and in so do- ing the animal usually snaps and bites at all objects with which it comes in centact. Dr. Lee advises the use of an anti-rabies toxin, which is a cer- tain preventative, OTHER F0OD FOISONED Several Persons Made Tl in New York Restaurant Did Not Eat Fatal Ples P2 ~—May Have Been Bug Poison.
