German doctors discreetly remained silent. They know too well the legal, religious and ethical taboos of all countries against taking life. When absolutely helpless against disease, they might let the patient die (easing his pain with drugs if necessary). But to give him a lethal dose...
...second act is in the garret room in which live Mr. Kerr and Miss Bainter. It is certainly the best part of the play, though the author takes too much pain to convince his indifferent audience that Mr. Kerr and Miss Bainter are most irretrievably in love through the introduction of 266 amatory forms of address, 33 kisses, and 18 embraces. At the end of the act Mr. Kerr has gone off to marry his Father's choice in a plot to obtain the 500,000 franc bribe and then desert her, while Miss Bainter has gone...

...beast's normal way of expressing itself. The first usual symptom in a dog is its abnormal affection. It feels something is wrong and tries to tell its master. It is restless, easily irritated, will snap at objects. Later its throat begins to become paralyzed.* The pain of swallowing even water is terrific. So it avoids water, giving reason for the name hydrophobia. It bites at things or other animals, sometimes so tenaciously that its jaws must be pried open. Saliva drools from its jaws, but does not always "froth," as has long been the gossip of ignorant urchins...
