200 MODERN BIOLOGIC THERAPEUSIS 



How to Secure Treatment Because of the 

 perishable nature of Rabies Vaccine, the pro- 

 duct cannot be kept in stock by druggists; and 

 requests for antirabic treatment must be tele- 

 graphed direct to the producing laboratories, 

 where freshly prepared vaccine is kept in con- 

 stant readiness. Such requests should state the 

 age of patient; date, severity and location of 

 bite; and full name and address of physician to 

 whom treatment is to be sent. 



Until recently it has been necessary to go to 

 special institutions maintained for the purpose 

 of giving antirabic treatment. This has prac- 

 tically made it impossible for the physician to 

 avail himself of this treatment for his patients. 

 During the last few years, however, it has been 

 clearly demonstrated that it is possible to sup- 

 ply this treatment in such form as to admit of 

 its use by any physician, irrespective of pre- 

 vious experience in administering the treatment, 

 and without removing 1 the patient from his sur- 

 roundings. The ability of the family physician 

 to administer this treatment in the patient's 

 own home is heartily welcomed by the patient.
