WAS TAKING NO CHANCES

L. a. d
Pretty That's x, who has delighted
the audiences Of New York's vaude-
Vile houses, was called suddenly to
Vermont to visit her sick mother. At
town few miles from her parents
home she hired an automobile and
asked the chauffeur to drive her with
as much speed az possible to her
destination.
The roads were very bad, and the
car, making good speed up hill and
down dale, over rocks and ruts.
seemed bound to shake overheard its
occupants.
After q little Of this Jolting the
chauffeur turned to his fare and de.
manded:
4 say, ma'am. Do you wear false
teeth?'
What impudence!" exclaimed
That's x.
"Oh. ma'am, 1t is not from impu.
dence." returned the chauffeur, that
asked you the question. It is be-
cause the road is bad, the rocks are
hard. and II you wear false teeth, you
would do we'll to remove them until
we strike the pike. I've had enough

d.. Rambaud decries because. he says.
1t gives false sense OF security. But
Dr.. Anna Williams. who is devoting
her life to the study Of rabies In the
research laboratory Of the New York
Board Of Health, says she is willing
to take her chances on cauterization,
Z II the wound is not too deep. The
average person, however. will prefer
to take the Pasteur treatment. since
Its discovery IN 1884 It has been tried
on more than 250.0O0 people. and OF
those who took 1t only one-half Of one
per cent have cied.
On the subject OF the disease itself
there is not much room for question.
The existence OF the virus has been
proved beyond all reasonable doubt BY
tnoculating whole series OF dogs, one
from another. and having each one de-
velop the same symptoms and die In
the same way. But, what has stood In
the way Of greater knowledge. aside
from the treatment. has been the
doubt as to the nature Of the virus.
Some hold It is q bacterium, the low
est form Of plant life, and others that
1t is a protozoon. the lowest form Of
animal life. Bacteria are subject to
epidemics; the known protozoons are
not. The layman can only hope for
the protozoon conclusion.
The Pasteur treatment normally
consists Of injections into the hank Of
an emulsion Of small portions Of the
spinal cord Of inoculated rabbits dis
solved In salt solution. For bites on
the hand or body. II the patient begins
the treatment within q week, It Is con-
tinued for eighteen days. If the delay
is greater. 1t is continued for several
days longer. Pasteur himself laid
down the rules which have been fol-
lowed more or less closely ever since.
But experience has shown that this
treatment ist much less successful for
bites on the face, where the reach to
the nerve center is shorter. To meet
the emergency face bites have given
rise to. within the past two years q
new treatment has been developed
which immunizes the patient In twelve
days. It Is rather heroic, but 1t has
been used great many times without
bad results, saving the lives Of many
who had NO time to spare. Instead Of
using virus the virulence Of which has
been allowed to die out, as in the old
method, the emulsion consists Of a
serum obtained from sheep strongly
immunized against rabies mixed with
fresh virulent virus,
The Pasteur treatment Is only pre-.
ventiye. The serum meets and Crap
/ pies with the virus on its way up the
nerve to the brain. Once 1t has reach
ed the nerve center, It defies treatmnt.
But, II you do not know you have been
exposed, your first intimation is after
the virus Is In the brain engaged IN
its fateful work.
Death from rabies hae become too
common to occupy frontpage posi-.
ton in the newspapers. That alone
shows the prevalence Of the disease.
Tomorrow or next week, when you
read Of little children being bitten on
the street. remember that one Of
those children might have been yours.
Imagine, then. the furious animal
rushing at your child, tearing at his
face and body!-Is the picture too hor.
rible?
4 It is happening every day. Your
child may be next.
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1911-03-29

when the morning comes, he is foam
Ing at the mouth-a mad dog The BIT
ing mania Is on him, and be attacks
everything, cattle. horses, dogs. cats,
children. Fortunately the only other
animal which gets the biting mania is
the horse. The disease is spread In
almost every case by dogs.
After two or three days, II he has
not meanwhile been shot, he comes
back. but, by this time, he has done
his damage. He Is weak In the hind
legs. then in the fore legs. His eyes
become covered with, q Aim and his
under jaw hangs down. Before long
general paralysis sets In and he dies. !
The warning which can hardly fall
to be noticed Is the howl, and,
when his owner hears this, 1t
is high time to act. He can
be caught without much danger OF
biting, as a mad dog only attacks his
master when the disease has complete
" captured his mind. But the saliva
Is already virulent, and gloves should
be worn. Otherwise little of 1t pene-
trating the skin or rubbed from the
hand to freshly shaved chin is
enough to communicate the disease.
In dumb rabies the first sign is the
dropping of the Jaw. When this hap
pens to dog. 1t is only necessary to
place q dish of water before him to
discover whether he has rabies. He
will lick at It, II rabid. but he will not
be able to swallow, and the amount In
the dish will remain the same.
AS he cannot bite he is not very
dangerous. but his saliva is as virulent
as II he had furious rabies, and he
should be kept apart. Usually dog
with dumb rabies is believed to have
bone in his throat, and some kindly
person puts hand in his mouth
literally into the Jaws of death.
In mixed rabies the dog is more or
less furious. He showS some Of the
symptoms of both the other forms.
About the only other diseases to
which dogs are prone show them
selves In way not to be confused
with rabies. Gastric trouble and
rheumatism appear much as In human
beings, and distemper is accompanied
by coughing and sneezing, a high
fever and running at the eyes.
The cardinal rule Is never to kill q
biting dog II possible. to avoid It.
Catch and chain him, and wait to see
II the symptoms Of rabies develop. II
he is all right at the end Of week
those he bit may breathe more free.
~. but. II he becomes rabid. they have
no time to lose.
With the increase in rabies some
knowledge of what to do for dogs
victims is as essential as a pocket sup.
ply Of potassium permanganate in the
| rattlesnake country. DR.. George g.
Rambaud, Of the Pasteur Institute Of
New York, gives the following direc
tons as first aid to the injured:
"The wounds should be treated like
any other infected wounds. Bleeding
should be encouraged, as free now
/ Of blood may carry on with,it great
part OF the virus. Then the wound
should be thoroughly washed with any
good antiseptic solution. The newe,
colloidal silver or silver-salt prepare
tions are to be preferred. but, In theil
absence, iodine, four per cent solr

to the governments suit alleging
they were in an illegal combina-
