The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1939-09-26
BIRMINGHAM AUTHORITIES
LET CAT OUT OF BAG

During the past seventeen years
42,947 persons received ant:rab;es
(Pasteur) treatment in Alabama,
with rabies mortality of 006 per
cent, according to a report pub
lished by DIR. Geo. A. Denison, d.
rector of laboratories. and DR.. j.
Bowling, health officer. of Jeffer-
son Country, which territory in
cludes the city of Birmingham.
Alabama, population 152.677 white
persons owning 1902 dogs, 1O3 .526
colored person owning 1897 dogs.
All of the census figures were OBJ
tanned by the health department
as WPA project; as the count
was taken years after the passing
of Tony the Wirish Terror I think
we may accept them as reasonably
accurate. In Tony's heydey of aha
what-have-we-here it would have
taken all of a squads time deter
mining whether that was four dogs
or one tearing around the links.
In 1888 220 dogs more than
l per cent of the 20,609 dogs CT
known ownership in Birmingham
had rabies, according to the labora-
tory tests by the health depart
ment; in the entire country of JEFF
ferson the health authorities dag
nosed rabies in 443 dogs that year.
No wonder Birmingham has been
called the rabies capital of North
America"
The 0y06 per cent mortality from
rabies, among the 42,947 persons
given Pasteur treatment in Ala
bama over the seventeen years
period may seem favorable show
ing for the effectiveness of Pastuer
treatment. But perhaps of greater
significance" Drs. Denison end
Bowling point out. sis the fact that
