MAD DOG PALACES.
Set Forth in Report of the Public
Health Bureau.

Washington, Sept. 12.-In a public
health service report A. M. Stimson,
its author. repudiates certain mad
dog fallacies. This report from Sur
rabies may not be uniformly fatal,
though it is almost so.
I'VE do not know" says the report,
that artificial immunity can be con-
ferred during the usual incubation
period. The possibilities of anti-ra-
bies serum have not been exhausted
by trial but our present data do not
warrant us to expect very much bene-
fit from this source"
Mad dogs are not always wild-eyed
and frothing at the mouth and deter
mined upon attacking every person
they meet. The report contends that
when the attack first begins to de-
velop dogs are frequently more play
fully inclined: "the rabid dog is sick;
he is not necessarily running wild and
furious; he is frequently obedient up
to late stage and often seems to
have a bone in his throat or to have
sustained injury to the back"
Another fallacy is the general belief
that rabies are much more easily
transmitted in the summer than in
other months. The explanation is that
more people are moving about and
thereby become subject to attack. Nor
is the malady confined to any climate
or region. 1t is liable to occur in the
Arctic or the equatorial jungles. Dogs,
wolves, coyotes and skunks seem to
be especially susceptible.
The mad stone and chicken breasts
as cures fo- the madness are arraign-
ed as real dangers, because they fire.
quently prevent people from seeking
other remedies. Lastly, human n.y.
drophobiacs 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 man dogs bite
is not manifested for more than
wear
