Green River Law

Winthrop-The axe went down
on itinerant merchants, hawkers
and peddlers last week as Win

policy is also true, he said, with
respect to local merchants or
citizens who approach household

DECLINE or THE RABIES
 RACKET

As I have endeavored to make clear to all, the diagnosis of rabies In man Is in every instance a mat ter of opinion. The laboratory test on which the conventional health departments verdict is based, Is in itself matter of opinion. No specific germ or organism of rabies has been identified. Until some such specific factor is scientifically demonstrated tho diagnosis of rabies must rest on opinion merely.
 Tn their candid and revealing re- port on the rabies question in the rabies capital of North America" Birmingham, Alabama, population i62,677 white, i03,526 Negro), DTS, Denison and Bowling of the Bir- mingham Jefferson county health department deplores the Hears, hor- TOTS and superstitions" which often produce Q state of panic before the physician Is reached. This popular apprehension, they say, frequently causes the individual to reject prop CT medical advice and insist on hav- ing Pasteur eatment-"while the physician too often fails to maintain professional attitude and allows himself to be influenced by the un- due apprehension of the patient"
 In other words, the doctor hasn't the moral courage to do his duty when the mob demands that he be. tray his Hippocratie oath.
 The Birmingham authorities cite tho seventeen year record of Jeffer- son county dncluding Birmingham during which period 42,647 persons received antirabies vaccine in Ala bama and 48 persons died of rabies. Of the 70 persons whose death was inscribed to rabies, g were judged to have received prompt and ade- quate treatment--Pasteur treatment beginning within seven days follow ing exposure, And these authorities comment on that observation: "The persistence with whichfatalities con. tinue to be equally distributed among the treated and untreated affords ground for wide speculation"
 I'd put it in another way, It tends to restrict the ground on which tho empirical school of medicine has based It's familiar attitude in dealing with the popular lyssophobia (mor. bid dread of hydrophobia).
 How effective is the dramtlza- ton of the rabies bugaboo which frankly carry on for the purpose of health departments in some cities getting larger appropriations for public health work, one may infer from another candid observation of Drs. Dcnison and Bowling: "Actu- ally 43.3 per cent of oil persons on whom information is available took treatment without having been bite ten" Turn some health officials loose on the Job and in Q week or two they can get the ignorant public so worked up that q lot of frightened people will rush to get Pasteur treatment at the mere suggestion.
 If rabies were as easily contracted by man as is commonly supposed, conclude the Alabama authorities. it would in Alabama become one of the

 All he has to do, is make go of 1t alone. Get on the debating team, on an athletic team, get a Job on the college paper or year book--or do any of the dozens of jobs he can do.
