HUMAN LIVES RARELY LOST BY It Statistics and Diagnoses of the Dreaded Malady. RABBIT INOCULATIONS Rabies in this city is the subject of a pa- per by Dr. Veranus A. Moore and Pierre A. Fish, a veterinary surgeon, which is made a part of the annual report of the bureau of animal industry, Department cf Agriculture. In this report it is stated: “The presence of rabies in the city of Washington was reccgnized in the spring of 1893. Special attention was drawn to this subject at that time on account of an investigation of an outbreak of rabies in cattle, in which it was found desirable to make a few comparative inoculations with the virus of rabid dogs. This desire was made known to Dr. F. L. Kilborne, then director of the experiment station of this bureau, and he requested several veterinar- jans in the city of Washington to bring all degs suspected of rabies to the experiment Station. As a result a considerable num- ber of supposed rabid dogs were brought to the station or shot by Dr. Kilborne himsclf from March 24 to December 12, 1893. From the entire number, eleven were demon- strated to be rabid. As Dr. Kilborne made the majority of the original inoculations, we do not know the exact number from which negative results were obtained, but from the notes left at the laboratory it is evident that there were several. In De- cember, 1802, a negro died of rabies in Georgetown, and in the following January a horse was killed for this disease in Washington, Actual Canes, “As the investigations requiring viry from rabid dogs were closed in the sum- mer of 1893, no further effort was made to procure cases, and very few were voiun- tarily reported. In the fall of 1895, how- ever, a fatal case in a lady was reported by Dr. Behrend at the Medical Society of the District of Columbia. This case again attracted general attention to the dis: t of Columbia witi chief of the bureau of animal industry whereby all dogs or other animals sus- pected of having rabies were to be sent to this laboratory for the purpose of making agnosis. “From September 27, 1895, to August 1, 1896, a period of three days more than ten months, fifteen suspected dogs and two foxes were received. fortunateiy, three of the dogs did nct arrive until from one to two days after they had either died or heen d, and were consequently decomposed to such an extent that rabbit inoculations were precluded. Rabbits inoculated with the brains of two dogs which were thought to be sufficiently fresh to warrant the op- eration died of septicaemia within tweniy- four hours. Thus in five of the dogs a diagnosis was rendered impossible. Of the remaining ten dogs eight, or SO per cent, and the two foxes, we demonstrated b: the inoculation test to have had rabies, Hard to Detect. “The diagnosis of rabies in the street dog is an exceedingly difficult, if not imposstbie, tesk without the aid of the inoculation test. The variety of symptoms manifested by dogs affected with this disease and the occasional temporary existence of peculiar actions in healthy animals, especially in the summer season, formerly led to more or less controversy concerning the specific na- ture of this disease. However, when the large number of experiments made by Pa: teur, and repeated by others proceeding after the same methods, were reported, the Gistinctive character of the disease was gen erally admitted. These experiments show- AN OPEN LETTER To MOTHERS. - WE ARE ASSERTING IN THE COURTS OUR RIGHT TO THE EXCLUSIVE USE OF THE WORD “CASTORIA,” AND “PITCHER’S CASTORIA,” AS OUR TRADE MARK.

It has also been found that the saliva of the dog is virulent for a few days before the ani- mal shows visible symptoms of the disease. While the accuracy of the diagnosis of rables made from the apparent symptoms may frequently be questioned, when the diagnosis is based on the results obtained from animal inoculation, it is as positive and reliable as any fact in biological or medical science. Symptoms of Rabies. “In view of the fact that a few physi- cians have put themselves on record as dis- believers in the specific nature of rabies, and various publications have echoed their utterances with an air of triumph, it is im- portant to again call attention to the methods for diagnosing this disease. The characteristic feature in the argument of those who wish to hold up rabies as a de- lvsion is that ‘they have never seen a case,” or if they have made inoculations they have ignored the length of time necessary for the development of the symptoms, and based their results and condemnatory epi- thets concerning the method upon the zc- tions of the animals immediately after the iroculation. “This is strikingly illustrated in the ex- periments made by Spitzka, who attempted to reproduce symptoms of rabies by intro- ducing nonrabic substances, and who re- corded the unusual actions of the inocu- lated dogs during the first few days, but failed to give the final results. In these cases partial paralysis was noted within the first six days, which would indicate cerebral injury or pressure due to the ef- within well-defined limits. door athletics contribute ente irstructively.

As these experiments were apparently meade to discountenance the positive results by the inoculation test, it is only necessary to call attention to the all-important fact that in Liautard’s case, quoted by Spitzka, the symptoms of rabies in the inoculated dog began on the sixteenth day and led to a fatal termination on the nineteenth day, which is in accordance with the results ob- tained by Pasteur and others, while Spitz- Ka merely recorded the symptoms for the tew days immediately following the inocu- lation. Rabbit Inoculations, “There is no evidence more conclusive than rabbit inoculations, made with aseptic precautions, from the brain or spinal cord of a rabid dog and followed by the different stages of paralysis which have developed after the proper period of incubation. Un- til after making these test inoculations, no one is justified in asserting with sweeping denials that the method is false and that the disease is a myth, “As rabies is not always readily detected, it is not strange that many physicians have rever seen, or at least have never recog- nized, a case. Fieming, who at one time considered this disease of little importance, discovered, upon investigation, that it was of much greater significance than he had formerly supposed, finding, as he did, six- ty-six fatal cases in 1866 in men in England alone. It is true with rabies, as it is with other contagious diseases, that all of the individuals inoculated do not become af- fected. It is also true that many dogs ara supposed to be mad when they are not, and. conversely, many dogs in which the disease is never suspected die of rabies. This condition is well illustrated in a case which occurred in Washington in the spring of 1893. A lady whose pet dog ap- —— GES. smarting feet and instant thy test com!
