THE MICROBE OF HYDROPHOBIA 257 



vaccinated with the full strength virus; when the 

 patient, by the continued work of his body cells, 

 is fully prepared to meet this. 



About this time is ended the period of incuba- 

 tion. The disease should appear in full force, with 

 full strength virus, from the bite of the dog. But 

 the patient is already prepared to meet it. He is 

 cured. 



But prevention is better than cure. First, put 

 a bounty on the wolf, high enough to exterminate 

 that animal. Second, put a license on the dog 

 high enough to make the number of canines beau- 

 tifully less. The value of human life is above that 

 of the wolf or dog! 



Third, when the cry of " mad dog " is heard, do 

 not rush into the street and be bitten ; stay indoors, 

 and be safe.
