Treatment For Rabies.

In the early part Of February Louis
Miller of Litchfield was bitten by a
dog that soon began to show symptoms
OF madness. To make sure Mr.. Miller
had the dog killed and sent 1t to the
state public health laboratory to de-
termine whether or not the dog really
had rabies. Rabbits moculated from
the head of the dog in due time showed
symptoms of madness and shortly died.
Thus the public health laboratory per-
formed a valuable service for Mr.. Mil
Ter by determining whether or not the
dog was mad and notifying the man.
But 1t did not stop. here. 1t wired to
washington for material with which
to give the man the pasteur treatment
and By. the time the patient arrived
was ready. to treat him.
This laboratory did 1t free of charge
and is always ready to do for all per-
sons who have been bitten by mad dogs
that present themselves at the labor
