Persistent Work In Great Britain Has

Gratifying.

At the present time rabies does not

suspicion was unfounded. This British
Immunity has been obtained only BY
the taking Of great pains. Consul
General GrifTlths Of London has con.
tribu.ed interesting information on
this subject 70 the Daily Consular and
Trade Reports. The principal way in
which rabies has been externlinated
has been by the issuance Of muzzling
orders. which are very strictly en-.
forced. In London and other populous
cities, and throughout the large manu-
featuring districts, the muzzling Of all
dogs remains in force for twelve
months or longer; in other districts.
