DETERMINATION OF THE SEAT OF GERMINATION FROM THE SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS. That the virus-germ of rabies " resides" in nervous substance, and especially in the more substantial tracts of the spinal axis, as the bulb and lumbar-swelling where the nerve-fibre, as distinguished from the nerve-cell, is the predominant element, is established beyond question by the experimental investigation. But this conclusion is not less clearly arrived at by a study of the symptomatic characteristics of the malady in any of its modifications and "varieties." When one comes face to face with the active, actual disease itself, the symptoms and signs, if they yield little positive information as to the true nature of the malady, nevertheless afford unmistakeable evidence as to the specific seat of cultivation of the pathogenic microorganism. It is true that there are hardly two cases of canine-rabies or hydrophobia where the active phenomena are exactly alike. Every case shows its own symptoms and signs, not less than its own train of lesions. In spite of this fact, the clinical characteristics or symptomatic indications, such as they are, are constant enough to be of great value as evidence of the specific seat of the pathogenic micro-organism. Every symptom or sign, as it arises, points with an increasingly glowing distinctness to the .central nervous system as the prime centre of the disturbance. Obviously enough, from such signs, the entire nervous system is, from beginning to end of the disease, in a state of more or less chaotic discord. Intense excitability, if it be a "furious" or convulsive case, or, if it be a paralytic-rabies, the most extreme collapse and prostration, excruciating hyper- eesthesia, on the one hand, and all over the periphery, or the profoundest analgesia a...
