The last agony of 12 persons who died with rabies in Cook County Hospital, Chicago, is described in terrifying words and pictures in the forthcoming issue of of the Journal of the American Med ical Association in an effort to stamp Out this dreadful malady. All 12 might have been saved their violent convulsions and unescapable deaths if adequate prophylactic measures had been instituted im mediately. All were infected by dog bites. Stray dogs have no place in a civ ilized order, says Drs. Maurice L. Blatt, Samuel J. Hoffman and Mau rice Schneider, who report the death struggles of persons with the disease from which none recovers. Stringent enforcement of regula tions governing ownership, licensure muzzling and leashing of dogs would have prevented the bites they as sert. The extent of the problem is evi denced by the fact that in Illinois alone 18,466 dog bites were reported to the state department of health in 1936 and there were 10 deaths from rabies in that period. The closer the site of the bite to the central nervous system the shorter was the incubation period of the disease, the Cook County doc tors found. tractors. More than 50 such groups have made purchases since the first of the year. Many applications for cutting and discing plows, registered stah lions, sorghum mills, mowing ma chines, rakes and other valuable farm equipment are pouring into the county supervisors. Mr. Curtis has pointed out that loans are safe since all the master borrows have been selected with care and they are good, dependable farmers One boy died three wee Its alter receiving a bite on the face, where another riierl tain innnttu ?f?er he was bitten on the foot and thigh. A bitten person must report im mediately to a physician for treat ment, the medical journal points out. Every animal bite in which the skin is broken must be cauterized immediately with fuming nitric acid carefully used. When the bite is on the head or neck, use of the vaccine should be begun at once. It can be stopped if it is later proved that the animal does not have rabies. One photograph accompanying the article shows a child refusing to take water. It is not fear of water that causes the agonized expression on the race of the rabies patient but the knowledge that he cannot swal low. Announcing We Have Employed Wilber H.
