The people rushed by in their thousands to visit Tom Thumb, but few stopped to inspect 'Aristides' or 'Nero. 'They push, they fight, they scream, they faint, writes Haydon, 'they see my bills, my boards, my caravans, and don't read them. Their eyes are open, but their sense is shut. It is an insanity, a rabies, a madness, a furor, a dream.
Sure enough the cur, having twisted his body between the rails, began trotting toward the couple that were watching him with such interest. There was good reason for fear, since the canine was afflicted with the rabies in the worst form. He showed no froth at the jaws, for animals thus affected do not, but his eyes were fiery, his mouth dry, the consuming fever burning up all moisture.
He eyed his superior somberly. "Sure; I want all the encouragement I can get, and your views are always inspiriting." "Well, I think it's nothing more nor less than hydrophobia. These mosquitoes have given you the rabies and you need medical attention. You need it bad." "Still, you'll help me, won't you?" "Oh yes," said Tom, "I'll help you. But it's a pity to see a man go mad."
"I said so, right off, as soon as I got here. Only, you're wrong about the dog being 'sick. He was mad. Had rabies. I'd ought to know. "How and why ought you to know?" demanded the Master, still battling for perfect calm, and succeeding none too well. "How ought you to know? Are you a veterinary?

There are other cases fortunately not numerous in the records of human surgery, resembling this.

In the year 1813, a child attempted to rob a dog of its morning food, and the animal resisting the theft, the child was slightly scratched by its teeth. No one dreamed of danger. Eight days afterwards symptoms of rabies appeared in the dog, the malady ran its course, and the animal died.
A duty was easily done by Gower when he had surmounted the task of conceiving his resolution to do it; and this task, involving an offence to the Lady Livia and intrusion of his name on a nobleman's recollection, ranked next in severity to the chopping off of his fingers by a man suspecting them of the bite of rabies. An interview with Lady Arpington was granted him the following day.
One of them died without exhibiting any of the usual symptoms of the disease; the other, after a long convalescence, survived, and eventually recovered the use of his ears. Mr. Earle very properly doubted whether this was a case of rabies. Dr. Capello describes, but in not so satisfactory a manner as could be wished, a case of supposed rabies in one of these animals.
