MAIDSTONE THEORY
MERELY A MYTH
Declares State Veterina-
rian F. T. Eisenman.
pAsTEUR TREATMENT IS BEST
Persons Bitten by Dogs
Should Have Brain of
Animal Examined.

DR.. f. T. EisenInan, State Veleri-
marian, who returned last week from
Chicago, where he went to undergo
treatment at the Pasteur Institute, de-
Bcribes some heartrending scenes that
came to his notice while he was be-
ing treated at the institute. Whole
families suffering from rabies as the
result of mad dog bites, babies terribly
lacerated and men who neglected their
wounds until too late and died af-
ter the most terrible agony, are
among the scenes described by Or.
Eisenman.
DR.. Eisenman declares the theory
of the maidstone a wild superstition,
as well as the popular theory that If
person is bitten by a dog and the dog
later goes mad, the victim will be af-
flicted with rabies. The bite of an or
binary dog is of no consequence, and
no material harm can result. The
question always arises, however,
whether the dog is afflicted with
rabies, and there is but one way to
find out. That is by having the brain
of the animal examined by a compe-
tent bacteriologist. In case he repon,s
i, the dog afflicted with rabies the vic
tim should take the first train to
the Pasteur institute. The examination
of the brain can be completed in
three hours and the patient could,
therefore, be under treatment with
in twenty-four hours. Speaking of
his trip, DR.. Eisenman said:
Judging from the amount OF pa
tents. presented for treatment at the
Chicago Pasteur Institute, 1t Is very
Important that rabies Is prevalent
throughout the Central States and the
Northwest.
"Whole families come to Chicago
for treatment, having been inoculated
usually by dog that was a pet In the
family for years.
at is distressing to see children two
and three years old, literally torn to
pfeces by rabid animals. This neces-
states the attendance of the father or
mother or some member of the fam
lily to care for the child while under
treatment.
'Iast Saturday there were several
people bitten by doag reported TO be
rabid at Englewood, ILL.,, and the cru
SADIE upon the CANNES resulted in the
death of nineteen in one day they hav-
ing been destroyed by the police.
when preventive treatment is ap-
piled early, there is no danger of con-
tracing the disease. Since the dis
cas-, is we'll understood by the physi-
clans, the dog causing the damage or
\. his brain is brought 20 the examina-
tioI, and when negri bodies are found
in the brain, the dog is considered
rabid, and the victims are treated at

pain which it affords is alone worth
many times its cost. II makes sleep

once. If the negri bodies are not in
dicated by symptoms known 10 the
trained veterinarian, the wounds Of
the victim are treated in the ordinary
way, and the Pasteur treatment is not
resorted to.
"A bulletin issued by the Pasteur
Institute on December /, 1907, showed
up to that time 2,779 persons were
bitten by dogs, 1O2 by cats, 100 by
horses, 20 by skunks, 6 by wolves, Sc
by cows, ~ by calves, 2 by burros, 4
by coyotes, by rats, by mules, 6 by
pigs, by sheep, and 2S by human be-
ings suffering from the disease. OF
this number 1886 were treated, and
only deaths resulted, giving NOR
da;ity of 022. Before Pasteur deyel-
oped the treatment, the mortality
ranged as high as Ss per cent. from
bites on the limbs and trunk.
Ar the Pasteur institute, of seven
persons who abandoned treatment, two
of them subsequently died from hy-
drophobia.
when a person is bitten by an ami
NAL ascertained to be suffering from
rabies, the person should be treated
at once, for if symptoms of hydro
phobia develop, treatment does no
good, and the patient will die.
Treatment consists of hypodermic
injections prepared from virus of diff
ferent graduations of strength and
covers a period Of from fifteen to
twenty-one days, according to the
severity OF the case. 1t is harmless
ana practically immunizes the victim
for three years against an attack of a
rabid animal.
"As matter of course in a great
mary cases where dogs are reported TO
be suffering from rabies, the disease is
not present, but the proper procedure
is to have the dog examined by COM
petent veterinarian, and If this is not
possible, the brain should be eNamin-
ed for negri bodies and If they are dis
covered 1t would indicate positively
thu the dog was suffering from
rabies. In that case the sooner treat
ment is resoraed to the better"

TARSNEY LINE IS
MONEY MAKER,
SAYS WITNESS .
INVESTMENT OF TRUST FUNDS IN
LINE WARMLY DEFENDED BY
EXPERT ENGINEER DEFEND.
ANT TO TAKE THE STAND.

The action of Timothy Z. Tarsney
in investing trust funds In the Flint
& Saginaw railroad was vigorously
defended on the witness stand Tues
day morning by William s. Parker, a
civil engineer with an experience of
almost 40 years, and who constructed
several OF the interurban roads run
ming into Detroit. The money in
vested by Tarsney had been left in
his charge by Melina HudeVier, and
her son now seeks Mr. Tarsneys re-
moval as trustee, claiming that most
Of the money has been lost by mis-
management.
The road runs through one OF the
finest countries In the world" Mr..
Parker declared, and when completed
win earn 10 per cent on the invest
ment."
The witness estimated that the com.
pany's property is worth at the pres
ent time about s345,00O, and that il
will require about 100000 to complete
the line to Flint. He said that the
most expensive part OF the construc-
ton work Is now completed He
laughed at the estimate made by an
expert for the complainant, who gave
the value of the present property at
only 1851, 000
THAT man left out about half OF the
property and valued the rest away
below value" said the witness. For
instance. he valued the passenger cars
at 5000 each. They are easily worth
$1,000"
When were your figures made?"
the witness was asked by the attor-
ney for the complainant.
They were made before heard OF
this suit" he answered.
The sale of the Trumbull.ave. prop
erty of the late Mrs. Vier, one OF the
alleged acts OF mismanagement on the
part OF Mr.. Tarsney alleged by the
complainant. was defended Tuesday
morning by <. w. Abbott. veteral
real estate dealer. who engineered the
sale. The property was sold for $4625,
while II is charged that the place was
worth $500 Mr.. Abbott told of the
efforts he made to get higher figure
for the place, and he considered the
sale at $4,625 a good one. Judge Lock
wood stopped further questioning
about. the deal. and stated that when
real estate brought within 5000 or $500
of its value the sale was good one.
MIR. Tarsney will probably take the
stand In his own defense Tuesday
afternoon.
