THE WORM IN A DOG’S TONGUE.
The Practice of Extract lug: It Is Pro
nouuce<l Useless and C act,
George Fleming, a noted English
veterinarian, in his work on hydro
phobia, says that the poet Gratios
Faliscus, of tho First century of our
era, speaks of the fable of the “worm”
in the dog’s tongue being the cause of
rabies. Pliny, who lived in the same
century, writes, “If the 'lytta.’ or small
worm, bo removed from a dog's tongue
he will never become mad or lose his
appetite,” nml “if tile worm be carried
thrice around a lire and then fed to a
person who lias been bitten by a mad
dog that person will never have hydro
phobia.”
Most surgeons, as well as veterinari
ans hi general, caution their readers
against resorting to such a cruel prac
tice, especially when the “worm" has
no bearing whatever upon the dog’s
ability to transmit hydrophobia, the
most dreadful of all diseases. That
standard work, “Rabies and Hydro
phobia,” by Fleming, London, 1872,
gives the following sound argument in
opposition to this cruel and useless
practice.
“Removing the ‘worm’ from the
dog’s tongue, or ‘worming,.’ as it is
popularly termed, has been practiced
from the days of Pliny to our own
time, and is, as might bo expected, a
perfectly useless, nay, injurious and
painful operation. This so called
‘worm’ lies beneath the tongue, in tho
middle, and is a somewhat loose, tendi
nous looking fold of membrane. It
constitutes what is called tho 'framum'
in technical language, and is in fact
the bridle of the tongue, and is de
signer! to assist tho animal in lapping.
When in its ordinary relaxed condition
this framum looks like a small worm,
and the resemblance is perhaps oven
more complete when it lias been torn
out.
‘•Hence the name of the operation,
which is a cruel one, giving the poor
dog a very sore mouth and rendering
the tongue loss capable of performing
its important functions. The supposi
tion that this procedure will prevent a
dog from becoming spontaneously rab
id, or liable to infection if bitten, is ex
cessively absurd, ns the presence of the
imaginary worm has no influence what
ever in the production of the malady,
while its absence must boa source of
inconvenience to the dog, and far more
likely to produce rabies than to prevent
its occurrence. l)r. Samuel Johnson,
who was never at a loss for a definition
when alluding to the opinion prevalent
in his time with regard to this worm,
called it a substance, nobody knows
what, extracted, nobody knows why."
—St. Louis Republic.
Road AVliat You Want to Know.
It is quite impossible to lay down
rules for reading that wili suit all chil
dren, and generally difficult to map
out a “course" to bo inflexibly pursued
by any one. But nearly every mind it
or can bo interested in something, and
a very good plan is to encourage read
ing concerning the subject the child
shows some curiosity about. One
tiling will certainly lead to another,
for nothing is isolated in this world.
Try to find out all you can about one
thing, one fact in history, one person,
tlie habits of one animal, the truth
about one historical character; pursue
tills, and before you know it yon will
lie a scholar in many things.
J)o not forget that reading ha means
to an end. The indulgence of it it
g(Kxl or bad according to the end in
view. The mind is benefited by pursu
ing some definite subject until it is un
derstood, but it is apt to be impaired
by idly nibbling now and then, tasting
a thousand tilings and swallowing
none, iu short, by desultory reading.—
St. Nicholas.
Christianity a Progressive Religion.
Our conception of Christianity, if we
are real students of it, is evermore a
growing thing. While truth as outside
of us, as an absolute thing, existing in
and by itself, is incapable of change,
truth as within us, as a relative thing,
more or less apprehensible by us, is ca
pable of change, becoming by tliat very
fact a germ potential of all growth. As
a matter of fact, history of Christian
ity is ever and anon waymarked by
epochs of Christian advance. Peter was
an advance upon John the Baptist, Paul
upon Peter, John the Apostle upon Paul.
Athanasius was an advance upon Poly
carp, Augustine upon Athanasius, Calvin
upon Augustffte. Each enlarged the
truth, not by adding, but by unfolding.
And so it comes to pass that in this
sense it is true that Christianity is ever
a growth. Being a perennial vino, it is
ever yielding new wine.—Rev. George
Dana Boardman in Forum.
