First published in 1903, this book presents a wide-ranging study of rabies. Three key areas of the disease are explored: its causation in the individual organism, its place among germ diseases with the end of bacterial agency in the animal economy, and its origin in the animal kingdom. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in epidemiology and the historical understanding of rabies.

1. The salivary gland, as the seat of rabies; 2. The bulbar substance and the lumbar-swelling, as the specific site in the nervous system; 3. Determination of the seat of germination from the symptoms and signs; 4. Rabies of the sympathetic nervous system; 5. The 'rabies-virus', quantitative rather than qualitative in character; 6. The multiform structure of the rabies-microbe; 7. Mode and route of conveyance of the rabies-germ to the cerebro-spinal substance; 8. The order of germ-diseases to which rabies belongs; 9. Pre-incubation period and incubation proper; 10. Rabies, a germ-disease of centric not of peripheral connective-tissue; 11. The prevention and protection imparted by rabies-virus; 12. The relation of bacterial agency to secreting organs and to the evolution of the animal organism; 13. Is canine-rabies the primary form of the disease in the animal kingdom?; 14. Rabies, a germ-disease of intensifiers; 15. Why rabies prevails in the dog; 16. How rabies arises in intensifiers; Index.
