TESTS DISCLOSE
 RABIES RAMPA ANT
Positive Diagnosis in 35 of 6S Suspects During
 Half Year

Laboratory examinations indicate the rabies situation among animals is more serious than 1t has been in several years, Friend Lee Mickle, director of the Bureau of Labora- tories of the State Department of Health, announced today, with tho warning that person bitten or scratched by an animal that may possibly be rabid be taken imme. diateiy to . physician so that the Pasteur anti-rabic treatment may be administered.
 During the first six months of 1897, MT. M!ckle reported, the heads of 60 dogs or other animals suS. pected to be rabid have been exatli- inted by the laboratories and 3S have been found to be infected, the largest number Gince 1888. Any one of these animals ma. have bitten or infected one or several persons or animals and the number of per- sons requiring treatment may be many, he said, speaking in the State Department of Health's weekly broadcast. Ihe bite of rabld ani- mal may cause considerable dis. comfort, the director continued, but at least the development of rabies In the human victim may be pre-. vented by prompt administration of the anti-rabic treatment. Moreover, the victim of the bite or scratch need not fear the expense of this treat- r,ent, since tt,e6laws of Connecticut provide that the cost Dc borne by the town, city or borough in which the injury was received if 6 regis tered physician certifies that the treatment was necessary. ReirIi- bursement to the town, city CT borough is later made from the state treasury.
 MT. Mickle decried misinforma. ton concerning rabies by persons themselves nisinformed or by those who have a reason for misinforrn- ing the public in statements or ar. ticles to the effect that rabies is un. important in dogs or that the dis ease does not exist. Tn some in. stances, he stated, these persons have advised what would be totally inadequate treatment for bites from rabid animals. The bite victim should be immediately taken to the physician. Prompt action Is neces- sary and do not take 1t for granted, he urged. that the dog Is merely cross, but depend upon the advice of Q veterinarian and the health ofiicer who are specially informed what to do. Services of c field man from the once of the commissioner on domestic animals is also always available.
 With respect to the biting dog, or ether animal, 1t Is necessary that 1t be captured and placed under observation. Under no circum- stances, let anyone shoot or chloro- form the dog, MT. Mickle said, but keep 1t under quarantine SO 1t can- not bite another person or animal until 1t is found whether or not 1t succumbs to the disease. Upon death of the dog, the health ofiicer should be notified in order that the dog warden may remove the head of the animal and bring 1t promptly to the laboratory for examination. Treat- ment of humans may Do started be- fore the death of the animal.
