Results of Treatment. kSince the commencement of the Pasteur 

 Preventive Treatment, some 55,000 persons have been inoculated, 

 the treatment now being administered in twenty-five laboratories 

 in different parts of the world. The total average mortality at all 

 these laboratories is about 0.77 of 1 per cent. This includes a number 

 of people who hnve been bitten by wolves, the bites of these animals 

 being especially fatal, the mortality reaching as high as 80 per cent. 

 in every 100 bitten. At the parent institute in Paris from 18S6 to 

 1890, inclusive, 23,245 cases have been treated, of whom 103, or 0.44 

 of 1 per cent, have died. The mortality during the first year was 

 0.94 of 1 per cent., and has steadily gone down until during 1899 it 

 was 0.25 of 1 per cent., the lessened mortality being due to some ex- 

 tent at least to the smaller number of persons bitten by w^olves who 

 have been treated there in late years, owing to the fact that there 

 have been laboratories instituted in other pars of Europe nearer to 

 the regions where -wolves abound. 



The value of the preventive treatment is well brought out by sta- 

 tistics. In Hungary, from April 15, 1890, to December 31, 1890, 

 5,899 persons were bitten, of whom 4,914 were inoculated, with a 

 mortality of 1.2 per cent., wiiile the mortality among those who did 

 not take the treatment reached 14.94 per cent. The treatment is 

 absolutely free from danger, and has no ill effects whatever except 

 soreness at the })oint v.here the injections are made. Persons un- 

 dergoing it are not confined to the house, but are able to go back- 

 w;nd and forward from their homes to the institution.

 proved thfit th*' Pasteur treattM.-nt is npplieable to animals also,
