or similar you- Excited And Alarmed At Present Condition. JUST ALL Noted New York Scientist Takes a Rap Atthe So Called Pasteur Institutes. THAT THRIVE ON PEOPLE'S FRIGHT According, to Dr. T. Victor Keene, of Indianapolis, -in charge of the Pasteur Institute, the only way to prevent hydrophobia in a community is to muzzle all dogs and keep them muzzled for two years.

Dr. Keene has under treat ment five cases from Bloomington, and a few days ago he received a letter from a citizen of that place asking what could be done to prevent a spread of the epidemic of rabies. In his answer Dr. Keene said that where'a dog has been bitten by a mad dog a case of rabies is sure to develop, but that it may take two weeks or two years to do so. The average time, he says.

about two months, but the bitten dog may go mad at any time between two weeks and two years. Therefore, he says, in order to eliminate rabies from an infected community, a sentence of two years in a muzzle should be impos el on all dogs. The fallacy of Dr. Keene's state ment has been proven time and time again. Imagination has more to do with producing alleged hydrophobia than all the alleged mad dogs in Christendom, The people of Bloomington have for the past three months been unduly ex cited and in some instances thrown in to a panic by the actions of dogs al leged to be inoculated with hydropho bia germs.

It appears that a medical annex to the State University ia re sponsible in a large measure for the present scare in Bloomington. Any old dog or cat that is taken to the dis secting room of thi3 knowledge annex to have its brain examined, is 'proved', to be stark, raving crazy and affected with hydrophobia, according to the stereotyped bulletin issued in cases of emergency. Cases of hydrophobia were compara tively unknown until the Pasteur institutes bobbed up in this country. It 13 the business of these institutions to work on the fears and imagination of alleged hydropho bia victims if they didn't the institutions would all be forced out of business in a month. The citizens of Bloomington are gullible.

They should recover their nerves and usual composure and assist in educating their fellow mortals that there is no such thing as hydrophobia. J. M. Greene, one of America's foremost scientists, writing in the New York Tribune, says concerning the latest medical game: "Much has been written lately in the press regarding the great danger from the prevalence of "hydrophobia" in New York city and elsewhere, and much more of the same tenor will doubtless be written before the season is far advanced. Will you allow me a brief space for a few ideas on this subject? In the first place, if there be any one point absolutely" certain and established, it is that the danger of getting the above disease has been greatly exaggerated, and that the great majority of alleged cases, of not only "hydrophobia" in man, but also "rabies" in the dog, have been cases of some other disease- It is also easy to see whence comes the influence causing this dread and delusion.

The year following the opening of the first "Pasteur Institute" in Paris, in 1885, the number of "hydrophobia" patients treated in that city leaped to three thousand; previous to that, Paris could boast of only about thirty "cases" a year! True "hydrophobia" is a disease so rare that it is not considered worth mentioning in mortality reports. Well-known medical investigators who have been searching for many years for authentic eases have failed to find one. Such are Dr. Lutaud, of Paris; Dr. Bell-Taylor, of England; Dr.

Chas. W. Dulles, of Philadelphia; Dr. E. C.

Spitzka, of New York; Professor J. W. Hearn, of Philadelphia; Dr. Hiram Corson and Dr. Thomas Mayo.

It is a notorious fact that, all over the world, societies and institutions that have the handling of thousands of vicious dogs, frequently biting their keepers, never hear of the disease. But spurious cases, caused by nervous dread, are common. As in the i ili id HBY. does he go out of his way to attack, i but gives every indication of wishing to be let alone. These facts, however, have no weight with some people, I whose arrogance and bigotry regarding Ojour relations to-the "lower animals' ipass comprehension.

All these facts terd to show that the statistics of the "Pasteur Institutes" are absolutely farcical, and as a consequence they are ridiculed by every leading scientific authority who has carefully investigated, and who charge them actually causing "hydrophobia" in many pa tients by their inoculations with dis troseu tuuuiai iuis and most dangerous principle of deliberately introducing into the life-current, septic -matter from "rabid" animals, has without doubt been the cause of numerous cases of "paralytic rabies" or "laboratory rabies" in patients The late Dr.

Michel Peter, the greatest clinical expert of France, said; does not prevent hydrophobia; he gives it." This opinion was indorsed by such scientific leaders as Dr. T. M. Dalon, F. R.C.S., Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson, Dr.

Charles Bell-Taylor, Surgeon-General Charles Gordon, of England, and Professor Von Frisch, of Vienna. The celebrated Dr. A. Lutaud, editor-in-chief of the "Journal de Med icine de Paris, said in that journal on September 10, 1899, referring to the savants at the Pasteur Institute: "They have not diminished the mor tality; they have augmented it, in creating the 'madness of very often fatal with which they have inoculated a great number of individuals." As the danger of 4 'hydrophobia" in man ha3 been vicioBsly exaggerated, so has that of "rabies" in the dog. It is safe to say that at least 99 out of every 100 alleged cases are cases of ill treatment, heat prostration, fits, thirst, STORE 5 account or one caseot alleged "rabies.

Man spends his life in abusing and slaughtering his fellow-creatures; but, forsooth, if some unfortunate member of that species most faithful to man, wild with ill treatment, or the diseases above mentioned, rushes he knows not whither, beset by imaginary foes, then man joyfully seizes the opportunity to attack the sufferer with every convenient weapon, as in former days, under like conditions, he treated his fellow-man And then, if bitten by his victim, he resorts to an institute," founded on and perpetuating the horrible sufferings of artificially mad iened creatures (a supply of which, in a state of madness, is constantly kept on hand, whether "used" or not), whose poisoned tissues he absorbs into his circulation as an antidote.

Such cases, it is no injustice to say, are-the product of the morbid fear disseminated and fostered by "Pasteur Institutes." These concerns do a great business throughout the world. But on what basis? I have before me a record, carefully revised from year to year, which shows that up to January 1st of the present year 1,856 deaths from "hydrophobia" have occurred among patients who have undergone the "Pasteur treatment" according to many of which cases the animals which did the biting remained alive and well! In this record names, dates, and other particulars are given The "Pasteur" institute depends for its commercial success on the most colossal pretentions and distortions of facts and figures." Among its "patients" are numbered those bitten by "rabid" dogs and those bitten by animals only "suspected!" Again, dogs are. often "found" to have been rabid by postmortem examination and by inoculating other animals with portions of their brain or spinal chord, both of which methods are denounced as inconclusive by leading scientists, such as Dr.

Colin, of Alfort, and Prof. Flemming, of England. Many substances, ruch as common soap, when inoculated into animals, produce meningitis, the symptoms of which are almost identical with those of rabies; Surgeon-General Sternberg has even produced these symptoms in rabbits with his own saliva!
