PASTEUR TREATMENT
22,000 Georgians Given Pasteur
Treatment Since 190S; Only
40 Fatalities
Since 1908, more than 22,000
people in Georgia have applied for
and received antirabic or Pasteur
treatment as a protection against
hydrophobia or rabies.
In a group of counties including
Fulton and all counties contiguous
to Fulton, treatment was supplied
to 675 persons, all of whom were af
forded protection by the treatment.
In Fulton county alone, 430 persons
received treatment in 1924.
These figures can best be appre
ciated by those who have had the
actual experience of taking the anti
rabic treatment, for it is they who
know the terrific period of worry
and apprehension through which
they had to pass. No amount of
assurance by the physician or by
the state board of health laboratory
can completely dispel the instinctive
fear that; the disease may develop in
spite of treatment. Of the 22,000
persons treated, less than forty have
died of rabies and the majority of
these fatalities were due to the se
verity of the exposure or delay in
beginning treatment. It is true that
perhaps less than half of those who
, take treatment have actually been
infected. To become infected, one
must become inoculated with the hy
drophobia virus through a break in
the nkin. The most natural way fbr
this to occur is by the bite of a
rabid animal, almost without excep- 1
tion by the bite of a rabid dog. All
of the authentic cases of human ra
bies occurring in this state have re
sulted from the actual bites of rabid
dogs, with the possible exception of
one case which is claimed to have
followed the bite of a cat.
Few Take Risk
Nevertheless, very few people care
to take any risk whatsoever when it
comes to rabies. Nor will the state
board of health laboratory shoulder
any responsibility when, in the opin
ion' of the director of his staff, there
exists any reasonable doubt. Thus
it happens that about 50 per cent
of all treatments are precautionary
only.
Let us assume conservatively that
of the 22,000 people who have re
ceived antirabic treatment, only 10,-
000 were actually infected and that
as many as forty died of rabies. It
is a recognized fact that without
treatment at least 15 per cent of
those bitten by rabid dogs develop
rSbies. This would mean that 1,500
people would have died of this dis
ease in Georgia since 1908, if the
treatment had not been rapidly
available. Compare this number
with forty who did die and the read
er may decide for himself.as to the
virtue of the antirabic treatment
But this is not all: The treatment
has been greatly improved during re
cent years and in your own state
board of health laboratory an im
proved treatment was devised which
is much more effective than the old
method of Pasteur.
Among more than 7,000 persons
treated since March, 1922, at which
time the improved method was in
stituted, only one case of rabies de
veloped, this beir.g the case of a lit
tle girl bitten very badly about the
face. It was during the flood sea
son in February of the present year,
and because of crippled mail ser
vice treatment shipped promptly
from the state board of health was
delayed 48 hours.
The only recent case of human ra
bies in Atlanta occurred in Decem
ber, 1924, in the person of a small
negro boy. He and a companion of
about he same age were both bitten
by a dog which was pronounced by
laboratory examination to be rabid.
Both boys began treatment promptly,
but the one who later developed ra
bies took only four days’ treatment,
refusing to return for the remaining
seventeen doses. His companion
completed treatment and never devel
oped the disease.
Rule* To Observe
Since rabies are so abundant in
the south, it behooves every parent
and every dog owner to become ac
quainted with a few simple rules of
procedure in case of dog bites.
1. Do not kill the dog unless it
is absolutely necessary. He should
be captured, if possible, and secured
in a safe place for observation.
2. Communicate with the state
board of health laboratory for ad
vice. If this ia not possible imme
diately, keep the animal under con
finement and observation until the
laboratory can be consulted.
3. If the animal cannot be lo
oa’od, get as much information as
P" dble regarding the incident and
the conduct of the animal. Then
confer with the state board of health
laboratory as to the next step of j
procedure.
4. If the suggested dog presents
none of the common symptoms of
rabies, or only such slight symptoms t
that some doubt exists as to its con- '
dition, it should be put under ob
servation for ten days. If after two
or three days the animals shows no
symptoms, the chances are that it
is not rabid. However, the observa
tion should be continued for ten days
before definitely dismissing the mat
ter.

KEEP THE A. & M. SCHOOLS
The legislature, in our opinion,
will make a great mistake in doing
away with the district agricultural
[ colleges.
Instead of abolishing them they
should receive a large appropriation,
in order to make them more effectual
and carry out the real idea of giving
the rural boy and a girl a chance of
an education.
I The Herald-Journal has in mind a
! number of Greene county boys and i
girls that have attended the Eighth
District College, and have left, after |
four years pf training, polished men
and women. I
j Of course, there are large numbers
I of these girls and boys from other
rural sections of the state who have
grasped this, the only opportunity to
secure an education,
i While The Herald-Journal believes
the State University afld its branches
should be taken care of, it is an un
wise and unjust policy to lose sight
of the rural boy and the rural girl.
I* We are sure the legislators who
would vote to abolish the district
! schools, do not know the real work
these schools have been accomplish
ing.
J In our opinion, one of the real
reasons why the agricultural condi
tions in Georgia have reached a low
j ebb, is lack of education and infor
mation by the average farmer in the
; state.
No county or state ever becomes
great without its rural population
being educated. Ignorance and pov
erty ever go band and hand.
We repeat that it would prove an
unwise policy to abolish the district
schools. Greensboro Herald-Jour

High Challenge of The
Detour
(By Dr. Frank Crane, in Atlanta
Journal)
When you are out automobiling
and come to a detour you don”t sit,
down and cry or wait for somebody
I to come along and take you to an
asylum. You make the detour and
rather enjoy the adventure,
j Life is full of detours, necessary
but unexpected and unwanted new
, roads. Those who arrive at content
ment must follow many a by-patch.
! Sir Arthur Pierson, the great Eng
lish publisher, was the proprietor of
| five big English dai'liejs and a string
1 of magazines throughout Great Brit
ain. In the prime of life, in the
| midst of a career of wealth and pow
-1 er, ho mysteriously lost his sight. The
greatest specialists could do nothing.
This man in thg thick of a myriad
■■ activities was suddenly condemned
1 by fate to spend the rest of his days
in darkness.
' He had come to a detour. He took
it like a good motorist. He had not
lost his nerve, he said; he had sim
ply lost his optic nerve.
He sold his papers and devoted
himself to the business of showing
the blind how to get on. He became
the head of St. Dunstan’s Hostel for
Blinded Soldiers and Sailors in Re
gent’s Park, London. There he
taught the gospel of Happy Detours.
His philosophy is good medicine
for everybody. “Dbn’t pity the
blind,” he says. “They don’t want
your pity and can’t use it.”
“I know that the average concep
tion of how to treaj, a blind man is to
read the Bible to him and play soft
music. We don’t believe that. We
believe that the blind are normal hu
man beings who, having lost one fac
ulty of perception, must develop
others.”
According to Sir Arthur's point of
view, happiness does not come from
accumulating things or reading a
comfortable existence; neither does
it come from any self-given order
to be “glad." Happiness comes
frq.m doing, from the forthputting
of one’s creative faculties; he who
has learned this needs no man’s pity. |
The only real tragedy of life is j
inhibition, paralysis by discourage
ment or fear.
The man who has lost his sight,
the king who has lost his throne, the
child that has broken her tea set, or
the woman who has lost her love, are
apt to be panicky.
But the triumph of life consists in
defeating defeat.
What the blind can Jo, you can do,
O, Down-nnd-Outer. Buck up
Make the detour.
East Georgia Plans
Free River Bridges
Hartwell, Ga., July 16.—The meet
ing of the officials of the Georgia and
South Carolina highway depart
ments, which was hold at Columbia,
S. C., Tuesday, practically assured
tourist traffic for Hartwell by the
favorable report given out by thbse
representing the two states.
The directors of the highway de
partments of Georgia and South
Carolina met in Columbia for the
eole purpose of discussing and, if pos
aible, settling the bridge matterwnich
has long been the chief topic for
discussion by citizens of both states.
A. N. Alford, of this city, owns both
the Smith-McGee bridge and Alford’s
bridge, which cross the Savannah
river eatt of Hartwell. For several
years Mr. Alford has had charge of
the two bridges and it was he who
first planned the erection of a toll
bridge here. Since the erection of
Alford’s bridge and the purchase of
Smith-McGee bridge by Mr. Alford
he has charged tolls.
Recently if became known that
plans were under way to build the
Stone Mountain highhway from An
derson, S. C., to Atlanta, which pass
es through Lavonia, Commerce, Win
der and Lawrenceville, with a free
bridge across the Savannah river
above Lavonia. This preposed route
does not include Hartwell,
j As soon as this was learned here,
citizens of Athens, Hartwell and
Danielsville began planning to
i make the bridges free, thus giving
these cities the tourist travel which
has for the past few years helped
much in their prggress. Mr. Alford
agreed to give, without any charge
whatever, his bridges to Hart and
Anderson counties after a period of
five years. This offer was declined,
as the Stone Mountain highway
would probably be completed by that
time and the cities or. the Bankhead
highway would lose ail of their pres
ent tourist traffic.
All of this brought about the meet
ing at Columbia, which was attended
by a large number of representatives;
from Georgia and South Carolina.
Mr. Alford at Columbia made two
propositions. His first was that he
would sell both the Smith-McGeo
bridge and Alford’s bridge for a cash
consideration cf $140,000, both to be
made free witihn the next 30 clays.
His second offer was that he would
take $85,000 for both the bridges at
the end of two years, during which
time he would continue to have
charge of them.
After a discussion of the matter,
representatives of the two states,
agreed to accept one of the proposi
tions submitted by Mr. Alford and a
period of 30 days was given in which
to decide which of the two offers will
be accepted.
' rT ~ J r "* ♦
MR. ANDERSON RESIGNS
Mr. Anderson, who has been a
member of the State Highway Board,
under appointment of Governor Wal
ker, resigned his place on that board
a few days ago and the Governor has
accepted same. Mr. Anderson sta
ted that he could not stay on the
board under existing conditions. We
think he has done right in resigning.
In fact, he should have resigned
some time ago as he was fighting the
chairman of the board and bringing
all kinds of charges against him.
Governor Walker tried to fire the
chairman, but the highest court of
Georgia said it was not in the scope
of his employment to do so. So Broth
er Holder remained as chairman of
the board, and as Mr. Anderson evi
, dently doesn’t like the chairman or
his ways, he did right in getting
] down and out and letting somebody
be appointed in his place, so the fuss
would not keep on and on. Mr.
Bennett, the other member of the
board has evidently tried to ride in
the middle of the saddle in the con
troversies that have taken place be
tween the board members, though he
has leaned on Mr. Anderson's side,
and we believe he also ought to get
down and out. If Mr. Holder is cap
able, as we think he is, and is trying
to serve Georgia and its people in th
matter of improved roads, then he
should have men on the board with
him who will work in harmony.—
Wilkes County Forum.
A war in which no shots are fired,
but in which powder of a form is
used should be waged in earnest in
the cotton fields. Preparedness has
been the watchword among Georgia
cotton growers. Weevil appearan
ces in many sectiorts have been hea
vy. With the enemy in the fields,
the slogan has been “save the. cot
ton." Making cottpn was so easy
before the boll weevil came. Growing
it now to certain stages of develop
ment isn’t so hard. Saving it after
it gets set has come to be the man's
job. j
