Gentlemen:— '
Please allow me a small space in
your good paper for a few words
about the Transylvania boys’ service
in th« 32nd Field Hospital, 81st Div-
isio|djA better known as the Wildcat
Division.
We have been in France since Aug.
23rd and have been in most every
thing known in this country from a
regular barn to a mansion, but the
greater part of our time we have
%
been' in barns, well a person can’t
tell when he is in a barn for the
dewelling house and barns are both
one house, we have ridden in second
and third class coaches, but most of
the time the A. E. F. boys have rid
den in little boxcars, with forty men
to the car.
These boxcars have dimensions of
about twenty feet in length and six
feet in width.
In all our riding we have covered
the greater part of France and have
seen many sights that were new to
us.
When our Division first went into
action, the 324 Field Hospital opened
a hospital for the sick and wounded

YOUR HEALTH
To the Citizens of Transylvania
County;
As stated in a poster sent out by
Hospital; so he would have to attend ^ the Board of Health on Thursday,
to all the outside work, which con- j the 6th of March a rabid dog came by

over to the much shelled road for dog bit a son of Mr. C. M. Siniard,
wood, but he was very fortunate
in getting off the road before the
Germans began sending shells to
greet any one that happened to be on
the road.
J. L. Ferry was one of the best
ward men we had, for he never got
excited, and would always take the
time to do his work right. He work
ed with pneumonia patients altogeth
er.
Well, I, the writer of this, am the
only one left to mention, and to de
scribe my work is more than I can
do, but I was in charge of the Re
ceiving Ward, and had three men to
help me, so as I had eight months

the poster was sent out a second son
of Mr. Siniard has gone for treatment
to the Pasteur Institute at Raleigh for
in knocking the dog off his little
brother it is feared some saliva from
the dog came in contact with his hand
on which there were some scratches.
While thanks to the labors of that
distinguished French scientist, Louis
Pasteur, we have now a preventative
treatment for hydrophobia, and
thanks to the care of persons in au
thority in our State we have at Ral
eigh an institution for the treatment
of persons infected with that disease.
It is proper that every means in our
experience in this work while at I power be taken to avoid such infcc-

so infected and their familier., iv
the expense involved in such treat
ment it appears very reasonable to
ask all persons owning dogs in Tran
sylvania county to muzzle or confine
them as long as is necessary to con
trol the disease. The dogs known to
have been bitten have been killed. Of
course we do not know how many
have been bitten in the route taken
by this dog, nor indeed how mar
persons. We do know however, that
the dog in question was suffering with
hydrophobia as his head was sent to
Raleigh for examination.
Mr. Siniard informed me that he
found fifty persons from different
parts of the State at the Institute
for treatment, sixteen or seventeen
from Buncombe and Henderson coun
ties. Remember, that if infected
there is but one thing to do. Go to
the Pasteur Institute for treatment
at once. When the disease develops
no treatment is of any avail. I am
quite certain that the citizens of our
county appreciating the gravity of
the situation will do all in their pow
er to prevent the spread of this dread
ful malady and will co-operate with
the Board of Health to control it.
Very sincerely,
W. J. WALLIS,
County Health Officer.
