Cases Reported From Plains,

SEVERAL DOGS BITTEN
Seventeen Persons In County
Have Recently Taken Pre-
ventive Treatment

Rabies is becoming SO prevalent
in Americas and Sumter county as
to present an alarming condition.
This statement is made on author
ity of DR.. S. f. Stapeton. Ameri-
Gus veterinarian, VINO mas recently
treated large number of dogs
suffering with the disease and who
is informed as to the number Of
cases reported from this and adj
joining counties.
DR.. Stapleton was asked this
morning to state the condition as
this exists with reference to rabies
and speaking with Times-Re-
corder representative, he asserted:
Within the last week | have
had~cases reported to me from
Plains, Ellavillo, Sumter, Maddox,
Leslie and several cases in the COM
munity nearer Americas.
"The man at Plains brought his
dog to me for treatment and stated
that there were no ess than seven
other dogs that he knows were Bit
ten by the same dog.
THE report from Ellaviile stat
ed that there were five dogs known
to have been bitten. m Nop
Unless there is some step taken
to have these dogs treated orkils-
ed there will be the greatest scourge
Of rabies in our section than we
have ever known.
"Cordele has already experienced
oneloss of huydan life from rabies
and so has valdosta.
1.-THE State Board of Health
wrote me that there have been sew
enteen people in Americas aud
Sumter county, to take the 81 in
jections antirabic treatment fun
ished by the State in the wear 1923.
"There are several safeguards
that may be used in controlling the
out break.
81. The single injection method
Of treating all dogs that have not
been bitten. From the statistics
compiled by numerous laboratories,
we find that very few dogs will de-
velop rabies within one year after
this treatment. even when injected
with rabies virus in the laboratory
as a test. When a dog has been
vaccinated with this method and Ia
ter is known-t to be bitten it is Of
course safer to give sdditlohal
treatment as a precaution.
80. After. the dog is bitten ne
should be treated with one Of the
two methods, Six injections OF
Itwenty-one injections treatments or
he should be killed.
DO not confine a dog for a few
weeks without treatment and feel
that it is safe to let him run al
large. This is where most Of our
Outbreaks start.
Experiments have shown that
a dog may develop within three or
four days after being bitten
"On the other hand, at Oh!b
Estate University a few years ago a
dog was given an injection Of part
Of the Spinal cord Of rabbio that
lhad died of rabies. This was done
in an attempt to produce e case d
rabies in the dog.
"This dog was confined and one
hundred and eighty days later de-
welcomed a case Of rabies and died.
During this entire time the dog
seemed as normal as any other
dog"
