in all good faith, often results in
much embarrassment in case any
one should have been bitten, since
it is these early cases that are open
to question on laboratory exami-
nation.
ut is much better where at all
feasible to confine the animal and
keep it under observation for a per-
iod of two weeks. If at the end Of
that time the dog is alive, no fear
need be be entertained that the
disease was rabies.
"Where it becomes necessary to
destroy dogs that are suspected Of
being rabid, they should not be shot
in the brain, as this is the organ
which is of most importance to the
examiner. In many instances the
brair is so damaged than an ex-
