The nurs es from the Senior Class, the Rutherford Hospital, the Commis sioners of Rutherford and Polk Counties, and the rabies inspec tors for the district together with Dr. C. E. Coxe, local veterinarian, were invited. Dr. Hines, who is vastly interest ed in the control of rabies, dis cussed the prevention of the di sease. In the case of rabies taken by having been bitten or scratched by a rabied animal, 14 to 21 shots of treatment are required to nre vent a case of rabies. This is a very painful treatment and all precau tions should be taken to prevent a bite by such an animal. Last year some 700 dogs’ heads were sent to the State Laboratory for diagnosis, but only about 250 of these were found positive. However, this does not represent the positive cases in the State as many cases are diagnosed by local veterinarians. It is only with all the local forces working together that a strong rabies control program can be built in a community.
