ISSUES A MAD DOG TREATISE
POPULAR FALACIES PUNCTURED
BY PROMINENT PHYSICIANS.
Report from the SurgeOn-GeneraI

Rabies May Not BE Uniformly Fatal,
But Is Generally SO. Mad Dogs
Not Always Wild-Eyed and Froth-
ing. The Disease Is Not of SpOn-
taneOus Origin.
WASHINGTON. D. C.-Hydropho-
bia is q reality and is a respectOr of
no particular season nor species of
mammal, says a public health ser
vice report today. A N. Stimsoh,
its author, Tepudiates certain mai
dog fallacies and advises those skep-
teal of the existence Of such a dis
ease as rabies to have their doubts
dispelled at a scientific laboratory.
This report from Surgeon General
Wymen's bureau admits rabies may
not uniformly be fatal, although it
is almost always so.
Dissemination generally prevents
development. We do know" says
the report, that artificial immunity
can be conferred during the usual
incubation period. The possibility
OF anti-rabies serum has not been
exhausted by trial. 1t deserves
further investigation. but our pres
ent data does not warrant US to eX-
pect very much benefit from this
source.
Despite disCOuraging results of
past experiences at cure by drugs,
continued efforts to find an effectual
remedy are weighed. the most prom
Using line of investigation appearing
TO be based not upon the phychoIogi-
cal action of the drug. but upon it's
action upon the parasite.
Mad dogs are not always wild
eyed and frothing at the mouth and
determined upon attacking every per-
son they meet" the report SAYS,
when the attacks first develop. The
dogs are frequently more playfuIly
inclined. The Tabid dog is sick; he
is not necessarily running wild and
furious; he is frequently Obedient up
to late stage, and often seems to
have bone in his throat, or to have
sustained injury to the back"
Another fallacy is the general be-
lief that rabies are much more easily
transmitted in the summer than in
other months. The explanation is
that more people are moving about
and become subject to attack. Nor
is the malady confined 70 any eli
mate or region. 1t is liable to oc-
cur in the arctic or the equatorial
jungles, Dogs. wolves, coyotes and
skunks seem to be especially sus-
Ceptible.
But not even within the canine
tribe is the disease of spontaneous
origin This fact renders isolation
or destruction ineffective. Elimina-
tiOn Of infected animals is the only
sure preventive. In this way Great
Britain has eradicated the distem-
per. IF all rabid dogs could be pre-
vented from biting other animals, ="

research for the investigator in pure

tTOyersalist'
The maidstone and chicken breast
as cures for the madness are ar
raigned as real dangers, because they
frequently prevent people from seek
ing other remedies Lastly, human
hydrophobia cases do not seek to
bite other persons. The average
period of incubation is a little over
ten weeks, but in some persons the
effect of a mad dogs bite is not mani
tested for over year.

Because She Did This Young Woman
Is Without a Husband.
1t is wise woman who giggles
only at the right time, as was dem
onstrated in Taunton, Mass, the 9th

peared at the marriage license bu-
reau with good-looking young man
who asked for a license. The wo-
man giggled If you do that again, ="
said the young man, you'll be sor-
ry, The woman giggled. Take
back the license, Mr.. Clerk, " said the
young man; Il have changed my
mind, and there isn't going to be
any marriage" Then, turning to
the woman he said coolly: Good
bye" and walked out of the build
ing. Then she began crying and
begging him to come back, but he
wouldn't. The safest way is not to
laugh until after the ceremony. not
outstanding the laugh may be on
him from the first.

HOT CAMPAIGN IN THE 9TH
REPORTED THAT I. WATSON AND
SMITH WILL MAKE SPEECHES..
One for Howard Other for TribbIe

Tribble Says He Wants No Negro
Votes in the Regular Election in
November. Howard Claims Regu-
lar Nomination. District Anxious
Iy Awaits Developments.
GREENSBORO, Cat looks as
if the complications in the Eighth
congressional district are becoming
more complexed as the November
election draws closer.
Never before in the history of this
district and doubtless no other,
have candidates and people waited
in suspense so long.
The Eighth congressional district
convention met in Athens to decide
the nomination for congress, or as to
which faction Ebert county's dele
cation would be seated in favor of.
The Tribble followers held what
has been styled as the roller CON
yention The Howard followers held
what they termed the official cOnven-
ton. Both conventions nominated
their respective leaders, Hon. w M.
Howard and Hon. Samuel ]. Tribble.
The Tribble delegations gathered
their forces, captured the convention.
nominated their candidate and then
silently stole away.
Hon. w. M. Howard was nOmi-
mated in the second convention by
R. l.. McCommons of Greene, and
accepted in a brief. speech, in which
he said
Il have lived long enough to see
the people of Georgia rent by divis-
ions and discussions. l have seen a
part Of the people led from the moor
ings of democracy by Thomas F.
Watson. We are now confronted by
an issue headed by him to tear asaun-
der a recently united white mans
party. | can feel no greater pride
than to take the banner of that ele-
ment of the people who have worked
out political and civil redemption in
the name of law and order"
Striking features in Mr. Tribbles
address of acceptance were that he
wanted no negro vote or republican
vote in the November election.
Already citizens Of this section of
the district are figuring what the
result of the convention will amount
to.
1t is an almost sure fact that Mr..
Howard will run in November, hav-
ing said he is the regular democratic
nominee. While Mr. Tribble will
run because he says he is the nOmi-
nee of the convention.
1t is expected that there will be
hot times" in the Eighth until the
November election, and maybe after
wards.
Rumors say that Hon. Thomas E.
Watson, who fought Mr.. Howard,
will come into the district and make
speeches for Mr.. Tribble Mr. Wat
son said that if the race was run
over again his horn would be heard
from.
While rumOrs also say that if Mr.
Watson comes into the field actively
Hon. HOke Smith will make speeches
in several counties of the district.
