The controversy as to whether or not
dogs actually 90 mad perhaps never will
be ended. The public health and marine
hospital service has declared that 1t will
enter into no controversy with those who
hold that rabies Is only an imaginary dis
ease. but that II those who SO hold are
fair-minded and possess even an aver
age amount Of intelligence. and will visit
the laboratory where scientific work In
this direction Is being done, IT will sufiice
to dispel all their doubts.
Speaking Of the theory often advanced
that Tabies Is merely an imaginary con-
dition. Dr.. John r.. Mohler Of the federal
bureau Of animal industry says there are
frequent cases of imaginary rabies, but
that these invariably disclose the fact
that they are such, and that no physician
ever mistakes such q case for a real one
at least for any length Of time. He tells
the story OF a young man who was en-
ployed as a clerk In a dry goods store,
and was bitten on . Saturday morning
by . watchdog belonging to his pro-
prietor.
The bite was slight, was Immediately
cautertxed and no further attention was
given to 1t until the following wednes-
day morning. when the young man faint
ed 1T the counter. Upon reviving he said
that he had been reading about rabies
and tho symptoms which would develop
in man from the bite Of q rabid dog. and
insisted that he was developing hydro

was sent to the Department Of Agricul-
ture for observation.
