THE ROANOKE NEWS 1 Buy War Bonds . —-TOOA V ■For Future Needs oc:»^m.y-iLigntn rear Published Every Thursday — VVeidon, North Carolina THURSDAY, JI NK 1st., 1911 Looking Oyer Our District’s Health BY DR. \V. K. MclIOWKI.L. Health Officer •lu-'t a lew days ago there wa. a “mad” dog in our health dis trict. The dog was killed in Tar boro, and his head was sent to the Mate I/ahnratory of Hygiene and ■ ’ led with Rabies. . i i keep theii imeci un fifteen days. Kabies, or hydrophobia is .aus ed by a disease agent called a “virus". Tins \iius attacks the brain and spinal cord. It is spread mainly by the bite of infeeteo dog.-, t’als, cows, horses, coyotes goats, hogs, sheep, skunks, wolv es, squirrels, and other warm blooded animals are also suscepti ble to the disease. Rabies virus is present in the saliva o! a rabid animal. If a per son is bitten by the animal, the saliva, loaded with virus, enter, his body through the bite. Or sali va from a rabid animal may enter tiie body through any wound in the skin that is exposed to it. The virus reaches the brain by travel ing along the nerves. The length of time it takes after infection for the virus to reach the brain and produce the symptoms of rabies is called the “incubation period.” The averag period of incubation in man is rom fifty to sixty days and in dogs from fifteen to thirty days, but in either the disease may de velop in less than ton days af.ir a bite, or it may not develop fi r a year or more. The closer the wound is to the brain, the mne quickly the virus will n ull the brain. For example, rabies devel op: earlier alter bites on the head and face than a. ter bites on the hand and arm. XiT every one develops ra u - after a rabid animal lute or alter wound contact with the saliva of a rabid animal. But no one who has once shown symptoms of ra bies has ever recovered. The di sease is One hundred per cent I i li.il, both for man and beast. The fact that it usually takes a comparatively long time for ra bies to develop makes posisble the prevention of the disease ailei the virus has entered th body. The protective measure used is a scries of inoculations with weak ened rabies virus. This treatment, which is called the Pastour Treat ment, prevents the development r the disease in the great major ity of cass if it is started soon enough after infection and ii con tinued long enough to give ade quate protection. The treatment is of no value after the symptom.-, oi rabies appear. Jn all cases of animal bite, wasn the wound under running wutei to remove the animal’s saliva Then send for a physician as (juickly as posible to laNc , wound thoroughly cleaned out and other needed treatment given. Al ter the wound has been cared loi the next step is to determine, whether the person bitten should be given the l'astour 1 raatnn m for the prevention of rabies. 1 hi. depends primarily on whethei thi biting animal is rabid, shut i «V securely and watch it lor s> n P toms of rabies. U the hog appcar, normal and remains so f '» 10 to 1-1 days, the posed. ht> o rabies may be discussed. It t clearly evident that the bitin animal is rabid, or if it can not be'caught and observed, the vt tin. Should' receive the Payout anti rabic treatment as piompt > jssible. You are being asked to cooper ,e with > our health department , controlling rabies. These > re for the protection of ets and farm animals, bu , wha , nu-re important, they aie ^ ie protection of your family a> « eiglibors. No one need die ot to ies, but unless animal owner* co perate with the authorities, it - lmost certain that some death, -ill occur. _— F. O. Browne Vaughan—F. O.
