What would you advise?
IN DOUBT.
If you and your own mother can
come to an understanding so that
your home will be pleasant, | would
advise you to spend most OF your
time with her. You know each
others ways and probably get along
more comfortably than you and
your motheT-in-law would If you
were together all the time.
Dear Mrs Thompson: What do

That Mad Dog Delusion.


A long and very interesting lei
ter has been sent in by lady wh1
was much amused and not little
ANNOYED by some suggestions W.
made as to the proper procedure
when a person is bitten by a dog
We advised confinement % the dog
under the observation of veteriH-
arian for two weeks. and II in That
time the veterinarian discovers 1t
sign of illness in the dog, there l.
nothing for the patient TO worry
about. but if the dog had rabies at
the time Of the bite he VIII surel7
present symptoms before two
weeks have elapsed, and the vet
erinarian can make the diagnosis
or if he is not positive about 1t. thS
dogs head may be examined by a
pathologist and the doubt removed
There are excellent and exps
rienced physicians who deny the
existence of rabies in human be
ings. And there are at least )
good authorities who have report
ed apparently positive cas-" in hui
man beings, though it is only falr
to saw thai we have no absolutely
certain test by which the diagnosis
of rabies in human beings can be
clinched AS to the occurrence o.
rabies in animals. however, there
can be no reasonable question, ami
for our part, if bitten by the most
amiabIe and gentle of animals, at
81, Of =
to follow out the procedure above
described and be on the safe side.
since no owner or lover OF dogs
can seriously object to The trlflTS
inconvenience and expense involved
when the dog has wounded any
one. no matter how slightly.
The lady is satisfied that human
rabies is nothing but popular hyS-
terra propagated and excited by the
foolish teaching of ignorant physI-
clans, political health departments.
etc. For all we know she may be
right. Certainly human 'abies. or
serious and fatal illness so dag
nosed, is exceedingly rare. The
lady is equally sure that immediate
use of peroxide" to destroy the
germs or any germs in wound
caused by a dog bite protecl )
against any possible infection, for
she has often been bitten by dogs
in their playful way, and she has
never experienced any trouble be
cause she has taken such precau-
ton. She has much more faith IN
peroxide than we have. We think
il is rather harmful for any fresc
wound. because it may force in
lection deeply into the tissues III
its explosive ebullition; besides
some germs can Withstand peroX-
ide. so it is an inferior aItiseptic,
We should prefer swabbinS imme-
diately with tincture of iodine. OF
better if medical attendance can be
had, cauterizatiOn of any such
wound
In any case, it is mistake to
shoot the dog that bites you and
delude yourself with the notion
that the bullet. in some mysterious
way. can alter the fact hat you
have been infected by a1y virus
or germs implanted in the bite.
