228 LOUIS PASTEUR 



preparations for meeting the emergency were 

 quickly made at the Hygienic Laboratory. Up to 

 July, 1923, the Pasteur treatment was administered 

 to 1,490 persons with a mortality of about one 

 percent. If we were to exclude the obviously 

 hopeless cases in which the disease set in very 

 quickly or in which treatment was delayed the 

 mortality would be considerably less.
