Rabid: A Cultural History of the World's Most Diabolical Virus Quotes

“The most lavish prophylaxis against hydrophobia in the hunting hound was carried out, fittingly, by the kings of France. In the hunting accounts of the French palace, historians have found annual outlays for all the king’s hounds to undergo a special ceremony. They were transported to the Church of St. Menier les Moret, in order “to have a mass sung in the presence of the said hounds, and to offer candles in their sight, for fear of the mal de rage”—that is, the disease of rabies. One wonders whether the hounds howled along.”
