Obituary..

Mr.. John Funk, one of the early
settlers OF this county, died at his
home in Honey Greek township last
Wednesday, aged AZ years. The
ailment which caused his death
commenced about two years ago and
for the last two months confined
him to his bed.
He was born in Austria and came
with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Funk. to this county when
nine years of age. In February
1880 he was united in marriage
with Miss Bridget Conley, who with
their nine children-eight boys and
one girl-his father and two brothers
Andrew and John, survive him.
For nearly forty years the deceas-
ed was a resident of Honey Creek
township. He was by occupation
farmer, but for several years a mem
Der of the firm of Funk Bros. deal
ers in lumber at Edgewood. He
had alarge acquaintance in Edge
wood and vicinity and was held in
high esteem by all. His death re-
moves from this county one of it's
best citizens and deprives his wife
and children of kind and devoted
husband and father.
The funeral services were held
last Sunday at the Catholic church
in Greeley, Rev. Father Fitzpatrick
officiating.

Dr.. ]. W. Scott on Rabies.

In the third biennial report of the
Iowa State Veterinary Surgeon is
sued in 1901, Assistant State Veteri-
marian j. w. Scott of this city gave
o very thorough and interesting
treatise on rabies, from which we
have permission to quote as follows:
Rabies is disease of the central
organs of the nervous system, aris-
ing only from contagion, and is, in
| almost all cases, the result of a bite
of rabid animal, but NAV be com
municated by the saliva from rabid
animal being dropped on the grass
or fodder and being eaten by anoth-
er animal, incubation having first
been made possible by the presence
of some abrasion of the mucous mem
brane of the mouth, or of some part
of the alimentary canal.
"Rabies occurs in two different
forms, the most frequent form being
designated by the name of furious
rabies, the other being known as
mute, or paralytic, rabies. Pasteur
is authority for the statement that
where the virus invades the brain
furious rabies is the result, while
the mute form occurs when the spin
| al cord is affected first.
There exists an almost universal
belief that rabid dogs are more COM
mon during the hot months of sum-
mer than in cold weather, but this
belief is erroneous, as statistics
prove that the moderate weather of
spring and autumn is more prolific
of rabies than that of any other sea-
son, the cause for this probably be-
ing in some destructive effect the
heat may have on the rabid germ,
while on the contrary moderate cold
would seem to favor the develop
ment of the bacteria, hence the cause
for more hydrophobia in the spring
and fall than during dog-days.
Rabies has been quite prevalent
in Delaware county during the first
half of the present year 19OD, it
having been observed in six or seven
different localities. 1t was, as far as
1 have learned, confined to dogs, cat
tie, sheep, and swine, no horses hav-
ing been affected. In those out
breaks there developed fifteen cases
, in cattle; eleven in sheep, and four
in hogs, in all, thirty cases.
Fortunately, only one member Of
, the human family was bitten. This,
i a little boy of about ten years of age
, was at once sent to the Pasteur insti.
tute at Chicago, where he received
) the immunizing treatment. and up
until the present time (about four
, months later) the child has remained
. in perfect health; and. it is safe tc
l presume that he is past all danger
!. of developing the disease. This i'm.
. munizing treatment is the only one
l that has proved of any avail in stay.
! ing the course of this agonizing dis.
. ease, once incubation has been ac
l complished. 1t consists of hypoder
. mic injections of a modified form Of
t the virus Of rabies, for varying per
$ iods, averaging about fifteen OF
Q twenty days. The treatment begins
;. with weak solution which is in
3 creased in strength until the patien
!. becomes immune to the poison o
rabies"
