 ment, some of whom would undoubtedly have developed the 

 disease and died if it were not for this means of prevention. 



Reports of cases of rabies have been received from every 

 county in the State except Barnstable, although Nantucket 

 County can also be considered free, as there was only 1 case 

 there, and the dog was taken there after being bitten at Vine- 

 yard Haven, and was kept confined and never did an}' dam- 

 age. The trouble on Martha's Vineyard was secondary to an 

 outbreak that occurred there in the summer of 1000, and 

 was originated by a dog owned by a summer resident at Oak 

 Bluffs who took an Irish terrier there that summer from 

 East Milton.
