Within Bounds.

Il " increase in this city. as It is also
throughout the country. Reports from the

Health. as we'll as from the division of
CONTAGIOUS diseases. have s.iven only too
positive evidence OF this The manner IN
which this disease has risen in importance
as a factor in the work of the Department
of Health ia shown by the steady rise in
tho number Of examinations of suspected
animals made each year and by the in
creased number Of patients who yearly ap-
ply for the Pasteur treatment AT the de
partment laboratories. Further evidence IS
furnished by the large and growing mum
Der Of complaints received from persons
bitten by vagrant dogs and cats. which.
upon examination. are found to he rahid.
II Is estimated that there are between
400 0no and 10000 dogs in this city and few
er than 10000 of these are licensed. which
would leave as can he readily seen, an
army Of vagrsnt animals such as made Con-
stantinople famous for many years.
BY way of illustrating the dog problem
in this city it has been shown by the
figures Of the Department of Health that
in the last five years lS,5o7 persons were
bitten in this city by dogs. That does not
take into account the great number Of per
sons who never report their bites to the
department It is a peculiar privilege. some

other reasons. too, among them the danger
from cat bites which in many cases have

as in England there had not been death
from rabies since 1902, when there were
only two deaths, there had been ninety-siX
deaths from rabies in this country between
the years 1900 and 1910. Fifty-sx Of these
deaths occurred In the years 1906 and 1903,
and the greatest number for any one year
was in 1907, when there were twenty-eight
deaths from the dread disease. In 1904
there was only one death from rabies in
this city, but in the last four years prac-
tically all the deaths from rabies in New
York state have occurred in this city In
1908 there were sixteen deaths from rabies
here while throughout the rest of the state
there were only two.
AS against the sixteen deaths in this city
in 1905, there were fourteen deaths in the
whole state Of Pennsylvania. eleven IN

ENeLANp's SENSIBLE REGULATION

Englands remarkable showing is attrib-
uted TO strict dog laws and their unQuali-
fed enforcement. Between the years 1887
's6 there were on an average of 2S8 cases Of
rabies in England each year. The Board
of Agriculture issued an order in 1901 pro-
viding that all dogs imported into the coun-
try must be licensed They are then de-
tanned for six months. and during their
isolation they are under the control Of
veterinarian at the expense of the owner.
The police are compelled TO seize all stray
dogs and destroy them II they are not
called for within stipulated time. Hence
there have been no cases of rabies since
1903 in England.
Germany and Russia have dog laws sim
liar TO England's. and the result Is pracu-
cally the same. There have been no cases

OFFICIAL VIEW OF THE PROBLEM.

That the measures now in use are inef-
fectual in controlling or in stamping out
abies is only too plainly indicated. The
Department Of Health is limited to the in
vestigation of reported attacks, the de-
structon Of the dog if found to be rab!d
and the administering of the Pastcur treat
ment TO such as care to avail themselves
OF the opportunity. In times Of great peril
from large numbers Of stray dogs the broad
powers OF the Board of Health would give
sufficient authority for the destruction Of
all unmuZZled dogs.
Because OF the belief that there was peril
to the public in the number Of stray dogs
in the streets in 1905. the Board Of Health
ordered the sanitary police TO shoot all dogs
OF that character. Many were killed by
the bicycle squad In the outskirts OF the
city. but a great deal Of criticism was
evoked from the officials OF the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and
others. Commissioner Ledcrle notified the
society last year when there seemed 10 be
an unusually large number Of strays on
the streets that unless It was demonstrated
10 the department that the society could
take care of the situation the shooting
would be instituted as in 1893 although the
