NFr RABIES VACCINE

Determined to drive hydrophobia from Alabama if possible, the state board of health has started experi- ments with new hydrophobia vac cine. It became known Wednesday that some of the state bloodhounds have been inocuiated with the view of determining the efficacy of the treatment which has been deyelope q in recent months. At the end of or year the dogs will be inoculated with the germ of hydrophobia. If they are immune the experiment will have proved successful. If they die with rabies somebody's dream will have perished into thin air.
 The treatment is in an experiment tai state although the health depart ment has figured that it is important enough to use in an experiment. Thouspnds of dollars are now being expended annually in Alabama by persons who have been often by rabid dogs, willie other thousands of dol- lars are lost through the killing of fine dogs as result of rabies.
