1898. 



The number of patients treated was 1465, of 

 whom 4 died of rabies : but one of these four 

 died only ten days after treatment, and is therefore

 on est autorise a penser que les centres nerveux des 

 personnes mortes de rage dans les 15 jours qui 

 suivent le traitement ont ete envahis par le virus 

 rabique avant que la cure ait pu avoir toute son 

 efficacite." 



Two patients were seized by rabies during 

 treatment, and are not counted among those treated. 

 The figures, therefore, are —
