 By courtesy of Dr. J. L. Pome- roy, efficient Los Angeles county health officer, I was privileged to see a rabbit with rabies. The rab- bits hindquarters were paralyz- ed. The animal had been inoculated with material from the brain of a child who had died of rabies a fortnight ago. The rabbit would surely die in a few days. Dr. Pome- roy believed successful inoculation of the animal from the human virus would change my view of the rabies question. It did impress me with the earnestness of the health officer and his associates, but it did not convince me that rabies oc- CUTS in man.
 From the observations made by Dr. Pomeroy and some of his as- sociates in this department infer red that if the public were amen able to reason and imbued with due respect for justice, rabies in anim- als might be kept under complete control. But whenever or wherever the health authorities endeavor to enforce a quarantine against dogs running at large, always some cranks arise in rebellion and voci- ferously plead for protection of the dogs from the cruelty of confine- ment or restraint on leash or mug gle, and the solons always heed this plea.

I have a portrait of Tony over my desk-the handsom- est wirehair you ever grinned at; a noble head, dare say. Not groom ed up, but the real Mccoy. Yet l can't savvy these anti folk, and es- pecially people who purport to be humane, who oppose efforts of the health authorities to protect child rem from being bitten by dogs run ming at large--no matter whether rabies occurs in man or not. A bite or scratch by 8 dog running at large would be an ideal way to im- l plant tetanus, lockjaw. But even if no infection occurs, why should children be subjected to the risk of being hideously scared by the attack of dog, merely to please | the unreasonable whim of some one with a perverted sense of kind ness?
