REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR FOR THE YEAR I918.
During the year under review 5,680 persons received a full course of
treatment, of these 5,151 were Indians and 529 were Europeans. Thus in
comparison with the corresponding figures for the previous year there
has been a total increase of 474, of which the contribution from the
Indian element was 327, and from the European 147.
The increase applies more or less generally to all areas from which
patients are drawn, with the exception of Bengal. In this province the
effect of the opening of the new Institute at Shillong has shown itself
in progressive reductions from 572 in 1916, to 258 in 1917 and to 90 in
1918.
In the series of figures in table X, giving admissions month by
month, the effect of the epidemic of Influenza which struck India during
the 3rd week of October, is well marked. Had the level of the first
nine months of the year been maintained throughout the year the total
of patients treated would have been 6,031 in place of 5,680.
In the case of 414 persons, chiefly Europeans, treatment was not
considered necessary, or was discontinued on receipt of information that
the biting animal had not succumbed from rabies.
Of those who received treatment, 69 (including 2 Europeans) con
-
tracted the disease.
Of these:—
10 died during the course of the treatment which lasts 14 days,
•
24 died within 15 days of their discharge,
and 35 died more than 15 days after their discharge.
The total death rate for all patients is thus 1·21 per cent. as compared
with 1 . 31 per cent. during the previous year.
The total death rate amongst Indians alone was 1 . 30 per cent.
as compared with 1 . 37 in 1917, and 1 . 375 during the quinquennial
period ending 1916.
The failure rate was 0 . 62 per cent. as compared with 0 . 85 during
the previous year.

In the report for the year 1916 we published statistics gathered from
20,511 Indians who attended for treatment during the quinquennial period
1912 to 1916. These may be regarded as normals and the percentage
figures during the present year compared with them.

From these figures it will be evident that the experience of the year
under review differed very little from what was to be expected.
During the year under review an extensive statistical examination
was undertaken into the cause of the relatively high mortality amongst
persons bitten by jackals as compared with those bitten by dogs.
My object was to determine whether this variation depended upon a,
higher virulence of the jackal's saliva, or, as appeared more probable,
upon the numerous factors which indicate that animal's ferocity.
Tables V, VI, VII, VIII, and IX were prepared separately for jackals
and dogs, and it was intended to examine the data contained in them
in detail by modern statistical methods.
Unfortunately this examination has failed. For it appears from
the statistics, for Indian patients, that during 1918, the mortality from
jackal bites was actually lower than that from dog bites. I am unable
to offer any explanation of this phenomenon. That it was unexpected
3
will appear from a comparison with figures for former years as shown
in the following table:—

The very point which I wished to examine has failed to appear.
In order however that the labour may not be entirely lost I give a few
results gathered from the Statistics for Indians which are not without
interest.
( 1 ) T h a t t h e j a c k a l i n f l i c t s m o r e b i t e s t h a n t h e d o g , a p p e a r s f r o m
the fact, that the average number of bites amongst persons bitten by
jackals, is 6.73 as compared with 4.0 amongst those bitten by dogs.
Also if one divides the body into the portions, leg, arm, face, and trunk,
then it appears that 17 per cent. of persons bitten by jackals were bitten
on more than one portion, whereas in the case of those bitten by dogs
the percentage is 5.
( 2 ) T h e p e r c e n t a g e o f d e e p l y b i t t e n c a s e s a m o n g s t t h o s e b i t t e n
by jackals was 68.9, as compared with 52.9 amongst those bitten by
dogs.
(3) Bites on the face were inflicted by jackals in 12.6 per cent.
cases; by dogs in 5.0 per cent. cases.
These figures all go to show that the jackal is a more
ferocious animal than the dog. It inflicts a larger number of bites,
these are more widely distributed and are deeper, and it attacks the
face more frequently than does the dog.
Probably this accounts for the higher mortality, which is usually
observed, but in the face of the reversal which has occurred during the
4
year under review one hesitates to draw any conclusion. One can only
meditáte upon the danger of drawing conclusions regarding rabies from
statistics relating even to 5,000 individuals.
It may not be out of place in this report to indicate the part which
this Institute has played, in connection with the War which came to an
end during the year under review. Although a Civil institution, it has
acted throughout as the base for anti-rabic treatment, to the troops in
Mesopotamia, and other Asian theatres, and has also afforded treat
-
ment to the majority of cases occurring amongst the Indian garrison.
The numbers of all ranks treated during the last four years of the
war are detailed below :—

It is interesting to note in comparison with these figures that the
numbers of patients, from all sources, during the first four years of the
Institute's operations was 2,060.
