in the last row, father would not get

F ear Increase in HydrOph0bia

Richmond, Va, May I, 1913
|(Special.) With nine cases OF rabies
under treatment in the laboratory OF
the State Board of Health and with
frequent reports of dogs suspected OF
the disease, the State Board of Health
anticipates a wides spread prevalence
of mad animals this summer and has
issued special warning on the sub,
ject.
Since the Board of Health UNDER
took the free treatment OF persons
who had been exposed to rabid an
mails and could not procure treatment
at the regular Pasteur Institutes, this
aspect of the States public health
work has grown rapidly until some
cases are under treatment practically
all the time. While some of the
Increase in cases treated bv the State
IS attributed by the health officers to
a general understanding that the
State is doing this work, much of the
increase inrabies is thought to be due
to the public disregard of repeated
warnings. Where no precautions al e
taken, it is pointed out, there will be
a gradual increase in the number of
rabid animals and consequent in
crease 10 the number of persons
bitten.
1.-THE mere fact that rabies can be
prevented by treatment" the bulletin
of the Board states, should not make
the people of the State careless. At
the very least, bite from a rabid
animal involves the expense of a trip
to Richmond and board du ing a
three weeks stay. All of this can be
prevented by proper precautions. The
all important thing is to watch for
symptoms of sickness in the dogs and
to tie them no at the very first evil
dence of disease. Generally a dog
suffering from hydrophobia will show
signs of sickness before the acute
stages of the disease develop; apd if
he is then carefully tied Were he
cannot escape, be will not be danger
GUS. Unless the people are more
careful we may expect an increase in
b ydrOphobia in the State"
