BABY BORN EVERY 7 1-2
MINUTES IN GEORGIA
Approximately Two Births to Every
Death Last Year.
I - -
A baby was born every seven
and one-half minutes during the
year 1922 in the State of Georgia,
according to the records of the
State Bureau of Vital statistics. Al
though a death occurred every fif
teen minutes, the gain of births
over deaths totaled 34,609, there be
ing 69,615 births to 35,006 deaths, or
approximately two births to one
death.
The federal investigation showed
that only 85 per cent of the actual
births were recorded. If this be
true then there were over 80,000
births in the State last year or one
every six minutes and a gain of
45,000 over the deaths.
It is estimated that the increase
in population would give Georgia 2,-
984,000 population on January 1, 1923,
but this estimate does not take into
consideration the 100,000 negroes, as
estimated by some authorities, to
have left the State since January

no rates based on the estimated

if the negro exodus is as large as

Rabies a Real Disease
NOT SIMPLY FEAR OR
SUPERSTITION.
It can not truthfully be denied
that there is a disease rabies, also
frequently called “hydrophobia.” It
is a very real, horrible disease, for
which there is no cure. Any person
who has ever seen either an animal
or a human being affected with ja
bies can testify as to its horrors
and the untold that it
causes.
Rabies never “just happen” to de
velop, nor can convulsions or fits,
due to some other cause, “turn into”
rabies. The disease is due to a
specific infection which is spread
from one animal to another, or to
human beings, by an affected animal,
usually by a bite, although the mere
licking of a cut or scratch has been
known to transmit the infection.
A “mad dog” is the usual spreader
of rabies infection, but, in some
sections, wild animals have become
infected, and these animals frequent
ly infect cattle, horses and sheep.
Coyotes, especially, have been known
to cause extensive damage.
Prevention by Pasteur
T reatment.
There is no known cure for rabies,
once symptoms of the disease have
developed, but, fortunately, the dis
ease develops rather slowly in hu
man beings and the Paseur treat
ment, consisting of a number of
daily injections of an anti-rabic vac
cine, is effective in preventing the
development of the disease in most
every case where it is used prompt
ly after the person is bitten.
But why continue to permit people
to be exposed to animals affected
with rabies? Surely, just because
we have a good treatment to prevent
exposed people from developing ra
bies is not a good reason for allow
ing rabies to exist among animals.
Heretofore, the only means by
which the officials could hope to
stamp out rabies was to place a
quarantine on dogs, the chief spread
ers of rabies.
Rabies quarantines usualaly cover a
defined area and remain in force
for at least three months. They
require the close confinement of all
dogs upon the premises of their
owners, or, if allowed to run at
large, the animals must be properly
muzzled.
To be effective, a quarantine must
be enforced and the usual method of
enforcing a rabies quarantine is to
shoot all dogs found running at
large in violation of the provisions
of the quarantine.
Every one agrees that quarantine
methods, for the control of rabies,
are very objectionable. The restric
tions as well as the usual methods
of enforcement, lead to much suffer
ing on the part of •'man's best
friend,” the dog.
A New Vaccine for Dogs.
Great saisfaction has been ex
pressed by veterinarians, dog own
ers and humanitarians with refer
ence to a new vaccine for the im
munization of dogs against rabies.
Scientists, working in India and
in Japan, succeeded in developing
a single-dose anti-rabies vaccine,
with which they have successfully
protected over 31,000 dogs. Not a
single case of rabies developed among
the vaccinated dogs, but the disease
continued to develop among the un
vaccinated ones in the same terri
tory.
The single-dose vaccine has been
further perfected by American scien
tists, and any local veterinarian can
now secure a safe, reliable canine
rabies vaccine (single-dose treat
ment) and administer it with little
or no discomfort to the patient.
A dog is usually protected against
rabies by a single infieiction, for
about one year, and it is well worth
the small cost of treatment to know
that for a year at least your dog is
not likely to develop rabies nor suf
fer the agonies of death from this
horrible disease. But, better still,
is the satisfaction of knowing that
even if rabies should appear in your
neighborhood, your dog, having been
vaccinated, is not likely to infect any
person or other animal.
If all dogs were vaccinated for as
short a time as two successive years,
rabies would practically cease to ex
ist in this country. Would it not be
a wise plan to consult your veteri
narian and have your dog vaccinated
at once.
Price of vaccination, $3.00 per dog.
