bitten by rabid dogs. In most cases tlie Pasteur treatment has been 

 taken. A rabid dog in Johnstown bit two persons, one of them took 

 the Pasteur treatment and experienced no further trouble. The other 

 refused to take it, but subsequently developed rabies and died. 



The number of cases of rabies that are reported has increased each 

 year for a number of years, not only in Pennsylvania, but in all parts 

 of this country. Much of the infection is spread by ownerless, worth- 

 less, renegade dogs. Persons who are fond of dogs should use their 

 influence to destroy homeless ones, and persuade those who own 

 dogs to give them good care and see that they are not allowed to 

 roam at large and thus become a nuisance and source of danger to 

 people and animals.
