Dog That Bit Allen Child and Three Others Tests Positive for Rabies, Aug. 31, 1921

Rabies Test Finds Dog Was Infected

Dr. E.M. Duncan, city bacteriologist, found the small cur dog had rabies that bit four children in the neighborhood of the Cole Manufacturing Company Tuesday morning. Dr. Duncan examined the dog’s brain in the laboratories of the city health department Wednesday, making the first examination of a dog’s brain since equipment for making tests of this character was installed.

Arrangements will be made at once for the child of A.G. Allen, who killed the canine, and three other children to receive the Pasteur treatment. Anti-rabic serum can be supplied locally. Twenty-one injections are necessary.
