To the Editor of the "Nortu-Cama Datty News."
Sir,—In view of the near approach of the rabies season, and the reluctance of laymen to have the Pasteur treatment when bitten, the following latest reports from the Pasteur Institute, Lyons, France, may be of interest:
During 1918, no less than 784 persons, had treatment. More than half of them bad been bitten by dogs actually demonstrated to have been suffering from rabies. There was not a single death among the persons treated. Since 1900 more than 11,000 persons have been treated, and only 10 have failed to be protected, representing a mortality of 0.08 per cent. At the institute, Algiers, 1907 underwent the treatment in one year with a mortality of 0.05 per cent.
As rabies is practically certain to result fatally if it once develops, these figures which are absolutely reliable speak for themselves. I enclose my card.
T am, ete, Mepico.
