EPIDEMIC OF MAD CATS.
Their Bite Harder to Treat Than That Q
Mad Dogs

An epidemic in Paris Of 'enraged
cats" as the French call them, hss
called forth some interesting state
ments from Or. Challou, the director
of the anti-rabies staff at the Pasteur
institute in that city. where from l. 500
to !. 500 persons bitten by mad animals
are treated annually. Contrary &c
the popular belief" he says, eats sc
mad frequently, and about per cent.
of the cases we treat are caused by
bites inflicted by them Horses and
other domestic cattle are rarely sub
lect TO madness
The bites of cats which have gone
mad are generally serious and difficult
To treat for two reasons. First, the
teeth of the cat are fine and sharp,
and the wounds they make are deep,
introducing the virus into the system
thoroughly. The dog, on the other
hand, has larger, blunter teeth, which
tear rather than penetrate. Cauteriz.
alton is excellent done Immediately
in the case of dog bite, but when tina
wound is caused by eats teeth it is
impossible TO cauterize more than the
edges, while parts below the surface
remain impregnable with the virus
"In the second place, the dog bites
1t the hands or legs Of the person be
attacks, and not often at the face.
while the cat almost always attacks
the face first for il can jump more
easily and clings with its claws 10 the
clothing. Bites in the face are much
more dangerous because of the proxf
nifty OF the point of entrance of the
virus TO the nerve centers, 1t having
much shorter distance 70 traverse than
If it entered the body through a wound

zone thing which makes a cat much
more dangerous when it goes mad il
that il seems TO become furious ana
attacks whatever il sees, while a dog
frequently will crouch in n corner and
seem 10 be subject TO a sort Of partial
paralysis"
Among cats. another authority says
insanity is most frequently brought
about by indigestion, which causes
congestion of their feeble brains The
reason they have convul sions more
frequently in hot weather is that the
heat Of the direct rays Of the sun Is
especially difficult for them 70 endure.
