Polk County Health
Dept. Makes Report
The local Health Department
was fortunate to secure a rare
speaker for the regular staff con
ference on Feb. 5th, when Dr.
Martin P. Hines, Director Division
Rabies Control, State Board of
Health, presented an interesting
and educational lecture. The nurs

Dr. C. E. Coxe, local veterinarian,
were invited.
Dr. Hines, who is vastly interest

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. The best
method of control is had by work

ments to get at least 75 per cent
of all dogs vaccinated. Then the
Matter of stray dogs is of great
concern. One rabied stray dog
