effect has been posted in the United

WAKES TO FIND he ENLISTED
Blow From Baseball Restores Purley
Bailey's Memory

Toronto, May 26.-Purley Douglas
Bailey, son of Prof. George Bailey, of
Cazenovia, n. Y, recovered from a
lapse of memory yesterday and found
that he had enlisted in the Royal Can
adian Dragons, on March II, under
another name. He walked into police
headquarters and was so affected when
he heard of the efforts made to find
him that he had to be sent to the hos
pital barracks.
Bailey received shock from light
ming in Denver, Col, and disappeared
while on his way to Syracuse physi-
elan. Several weeks ago his jaw was
fractured while he was playing base
bali at the barracks, and this, it is sup
posed, may have aided in restoring his

HYDRoPHoBLA.

Rabies called also lyssa and hydro
phobia is an acute disease Of warm
blooded animals, communicated by
means of a specific poison found in the
saliva of subjects. 1t is communicated
by the bites of animals and has been
inoculated experimentally.
Most animals are susceptible but dogs
are especially liable TO the disease. 1t
is spread chiefly by the dog and occurs
in the cat, horse, cow and others. 1t
has been produced experimentally in
the pig, horse, rabbit and other ami
mails.
The poison is contained chiefly in
the brain and nervous system of af-
feeted animals. 1t is also found in
the secretions, particularly in the saliva
from whence it finds it way into
other animals. 1t has been shown that
the poison reaches the salivary glands
of the dog by way of the nerves and
not thru the blood stream as it would
be supposed.
The onset of the symptoms is vari-
able in different cases. After the
poison is introduced into the body of
a man, it may be from six weeks to
three months before any evidence of
the disease is productive of symptoms.
1t has been stated that three years is
not too long for the development of
the symptoms, but that is not definitely
determined.
Children are more often attacked
than adults because they are more
often the victims of the bites of ami
mails, especially the bites Of dogs. The
incubation period is shorter in children
that in adults. Wounds of the face
and head are more likely to result in
hydrophobia than other wounds because
such wounds are more difficult to eau
terize, being less accessible. Wounds
of the hands are next in order of liza
bility. The clothing evidently absorbs
the salivary secretion and the contained
poison when persons are bitten in other
portions Of the body. The hands and
the face and head being naked give
unhindered access to the teeth, the
saliva and the poison of the rabid
animal. The nerves, being the vul-
nerable point of the virus, make those

ROBERT LINCOLN HALL Is AN
HONOR TO THE AFRo-AMERI-
CAN RACE.

Robert Lincoln Hall, who resides
with his family at ass E. 32nd street,
is in every way an honor to the Afro
American race. For more than 24 years
he has been shipping clerk for Berri-
man Brothers, manufacturers Of clear
Havana cigars, their Chicago headqusr-
tiers being located in the First National
Bank Building, where they conduct one
of the finest retail cigar stores in Amer
lea.
AS an evidence of Berriman Brothers
ranking among the largest cigar makers
in the world, they employ almost one
thousand men in one of their cigar fac
tories at Tampa, Fla, and many hun
dreds of those are ColOred men, and in
fact, they prefer the COlored men in
that capacity.
Berriman Brothers are Danish-Ameri-
cans, free from race prejudice and some
of their ancestors fought on the North
ern side in the War Of the Rebellion.
They were the first to originate the
idea of selling cigars in bond and they
have Government revenue inspectors
stationed in all Of their cigar factories
throughout the country.

parts most susceptible that are rich
in nerve supply.
A certain and Trustworthy means =.
determining if an animal that is srs
peeted of having the disease basn.
is to examine the brain OF such mie,os
eopieally. If certain bodies eaUsa
after the diseOverer Negri bodies A..
found, hydrOphObia is present and any
animal or person bitten by such will
develop the disease. Hence all 50 sr.
posed should have the wounds eauts,.
lied by a physician ami given tbs
Pasteur treatment.
As in loekjaw so in this disease II
is wise not to wait for svmrtoms
After the symptoms have develope5
it is usually too late. Prophvlaxis or
the prevention of the disease is the
most important course to pursue. Since
the dog is the most frequent means of
spreading rabies, all dogs should be
muzzled. All persons bitten should
seek a physician at once.
There are three stages Of hyiropho.
bia, the premOnitOry, the exciting and
the paralytie. In the first or Fremont.
tory stage, the patient is depressed and
melancholy. There is pain and numb
ness at the bite. There Is loss of appe.
tite. The subject is irritable and has
sleeplessness. There is a constant feel.
ing of impending danger.
The second stage is the stage of ez.
eitement. Any sound or light or a
draught of air will cause a viOle1b
spasm. The breathing is greatly EN-.
barrassed. Any attempt to drink Is
followed by an intense spasm which
makes the patient dread the very sight
of water. 1t is this fact that gives
the disease the name of hydrOphObia.
The third stage is the paralytie stage.
In it the patient becomes quiet. The
spasms disappear; the heart becomes
enfeebled; Inconsistencies follows and
death closes the scene.
Remember to have all bites Of ami
mails eauterized. After that find out if
rabies was present in the offender, by
having it's brain examined. If the
diagnosis is positive get the Pasteu
treatment and be on the safety first
side.
